Will you still be riding when you're......

I think by the time I'm 30 I'll be so injured that I will be unable to
ride street as good as I can now. I'll still ride though for sure (as
long as I can).

I've been concerned about this issue for a while now but maybe I
shouldn't worry so much. At 49 I can still fall off quite a few things
and get right back up again, but I don't know how long that will last.
In my case it's a combination of childlike exuberance, competitiveness,
conditioning, willingness to look stupid and still thinking I'm younger
than I am. Hopefully FOREVER!

Haha a lot of that pretty much describes me as well!

Oh, and I think there's a typo above your avatar; you have:
"Bruised *by* not detered!" I guessing you meant "Bruised* but* not
detered!"

Although I'm sure my skill level will reach its peek in my early 20's.

So street and flat are the hardest on the body? Opps, thats where I was
planning on starting lol. Already old and injured, oh well, just not
ready to stop having fun yet. I also thought uni would be easier on
the knees then skating.

I think that technical MUni along with big drops are the hardest on the
body by far. By that I don't mean it's bad for your body, just that the
potential for greater injury is there. If you ride extreme forms of
unicycling, and take adequate precautions and know your limits, you are
less likely to suffer any major injuries or long lasting negative
effects. So even though the more extreme uni riding can be hard on the
body, it can also get you in top physical conditon and keep you that way
for the long term.

darn, why do I only love sports where injury happens lol? My body is
already shot right now from injury. The bicycle sucks now with my bad
arm so uni it is!! I cant even shift the grip shifters. Today my dr.
said I could ride a bike finally and I couldnt shift. I think being
older, injuries recover slower. Thats why I probably wont get into
serious trials with large drops. The risk of breaking something is too
high and my bones stopped being rubber. I'd still rather take it slower
and be more cautious then quit and rot and die lol.

i dunno how long i'll be riding. hopefully 80+ years more, , but i
don't know. If i keep unicycling till i die, i'll go to "The endless
trials and MUni courses" instead of heaven or hell
