Rediscovering the muni, or: Oww... oww... oww...
S_Wallis Wrote: . *.* *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. -- ChangingLINKS.com Wishing you Happiness, Joy and Laughter, Drew Brown 'Changing LINKS' (http://www.ChangingLINKS.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ChangingLINKS.com's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5468 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43557 |

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 -- S_Wallis "I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
