*Phil*, I really enjoyed your story. Sometimes a layoff from riding
really helps put the fun back in perspective.

He thought you would never ask.

Drew, your new hobby is not better, it is better -for you-. The fact
that you gave an example of getting to perform in front of a huge crowd
shows that is what is important to you. In that case, muni was never
the right sport for you.



Like you, I disagree.
Drew, your new hobby is not better, it is better

S_Wallis
First, I don't just ride M-uni.
Second, I have performed on stage with my M-uni and will do so again on
October 29th.
It's part of the show.

Many of us have been through many other sports, and this is the best one
-for us-.


Generally, when a subjective opinion is stated, "I" is implied.
I couldn't care less what hobby is better for people I don't even
know.


Your equipment breakage really didn't have to be that big of a deal. You
had two good components, a Profile wheelset and a CF seat base. You
didn't break those, just your inexpensive frame and seatpost. A little
money would have fixed the problem.



1. Should I point out how I mentioned that I have damaged every
component of the unicycle (except the carbon fiber frame) again?

2. Should I also mention that since I have had the CF base, I haven't
gotten in very many miles (less than 300)?

3. Should I point out that it's ironic that you imply it was a "price
of equipment" issue.
I've heard that YOU broke an expensive frame and don't weigh as much as
I do?

4. Perhaps, I should point out that I mentioned that I've seen guys
ride much cheaper equipment and have it hold up?

Or, perhaps I should expect others to read before posting.

Perhaps you can just admit that you don't know what parts I've broken
or not,
rather than attempting to speak with authority on the matter.

Lighter weight guys often don't understand the frustration in having
SOMETHING break every 100 miles or less. They don't understand what
it's like to do a small/clean/soft 3 foot drop and have the spindel go-
through- part of the pedal. From cracking -through- welds, breaking 14
gages spokes on drops, bending the bead on a Gazz tire, and a long list
of other problems. I don't want to list everything, but I can simply
say that I've cleared the amount of money that I feel the sport is
worth.

Some guy makes money with M-uni - and then replies here.
Of course he won't care about cost, the hobby probably pays for
itself.

See you at CMW. If you don't look like you are having fun there we can
teach you the new sport of base jumping without a chute. Don't
worry, we will get a big crowd together first.

Your buddy,
Scott



You imply that I should die (or at least be severly injured) if I don't
like M-uni.

drew: what's your new hobby?


It's hard to describe:

With one (or more) modified walking canes, I do a large variety of
things.
I guess my overall goal is to "do more things" with the canes.

(I listed several activities here and deleted the list for legal and
personal reasons.)

Never mind Drew, this thread wasn't about you and I should not have
replied to you here. The base jumping thing was a joke. When will I
learn. I will not post again on this thread.

Sorry,
Scott

To satisfy my curiosity, about how big are you?

not quitting, just deciding to ride a LOT less



I wish I could predict that would mean deciding to POST a lot less too,
but the tea leaves don't show it. Troll on Drew.
