Unicycle Speech
Its *your* speech so I think you should figure out for yourself what it should cover. Ahh, if only the internet existed when I was in school... I could have slept even more. Welcome to the forum, and please let us know what direction your speech goes in.

Unicycle Speech
you should deff point out how much more of a bad a** you are for not needing two wheels seriously though, I would point out the skill required to ride a unicycle I think most people assume its just like riding a bike. Not to say its something thats over the top difficult, but it uses different muscles and coordination (hey children can do it!) -- tumbles ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tumbles's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18783 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75411 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Unicycle Speech
The problem isn't deciding what to say. It's deciding what not to say. You need to avoid rambling on without focus or structure. How long will the speech be in minutes? Can you work from notes? Can you read it out? Can you use visual aids such as a wallchart? Here's a simple rule: the rule of three. Think of three things (e.g. an introduction, a main point, and a follow up point.) Think of three main things to say about each. You can use the same "introduction, main point, follow up point" structure. That gives you 3 x 3 = 9 things to say. Now if you break each of those 9 into three, you have 9 x 3 = 27 points. 27 points at a minute each is very nearly half an hour. At 30 seconds each, it's around 15 minutes. But by using the 3 x 3 x 3 formula, you have the basic structure for a simple presentation. It also works for other numbers of course. You could choose 2 x 3 x 4 = 24, or whatever. But as most things need a beginning, a middle and an end, 3 x 3 x 3 is good. Another good rule: 1) Tell 'em what you're going to say 2) Say it 3) Tell 'em what you've said. That is 1) Give them an idea what to expect and what you intend to cover. 2) Talk about it. 3) Summarise what you've said. As for the content, that should be easy. -- Mikefule It's my sport, not your cabaret, moron. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mikefule's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/879 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75411 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

If you can. I'd also ride your unicycle a bit. If your not confident with doing any tricks... just ride it to where you begin your speech. If a projecter is available... I'd deffinately go for showing them some of the cool stuff that has been done on a unicyle... The frontflip, some flatland, the 128 sidehop, hardcore muni, freestyle spins. Just to really show it to them.

One thing I had some difficulty with was my time structure, we could all go on for days in the subject we like most. Make sure you dont talk too much from a unicyclist prespective, avoid shop talk(Using technical terms, sadly there is a good number of people who dont know what a crank is when you are talking about unicycles)! For visual aids as I mentioned In my PM I brought several unicycles with me. I however did not ride a single one during my speech for a few reasons; 1. It can cause you to be winded making your next statements hard to understand. 2. The actual riding can divert attention from the subject matter. 3. Listeners aren't always the best at using the appropriate filters and may be destracted from you sweating on your note cards ;-) -- Unicaw89 0 9 T o r k e r f o r p r e s i d e n t !
