Do You Unicycle with other annoying Unicyclists?

[daretodream]

This is your chance to get things off your chest.Do you have a unicycle buddy who just when you get the nerve to try that new trick gets in your way? Your about to ride down those stairs and your buddy rides across and still stances in your path? Your trying to jump mount and he jumps right next to you.Your about to try the trick and he calls out and makes you laugh (and then fall) Do you have one of those annoying Unicycle buddies?

Or perhaps you buddy borrows your uni and doesnt give it back for a year, or always uses your gear cos they always forget theirs or maybe they always get the best uni buy before you.Maybe they borrow your guards and return them with white fluff stuck to the velcro.Or maybe they always reckon they landed the trick (even when they didnt)

Maybe theyre just plain better than you,,,,ALL THE TIME!!!!!!

Maybe they create annoying threads in the forums.Maybe Theres a little of the Annoying Unicyclist in ALL OF US!!!!

I hate it when you do something awesome, and your "annoying" uni buddy says "Oh but you hopped" its only 9/10 not 10/10".

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

I unicycle with these guys... Jerrick, Phil and Madison... Dude, I hate them.
They suck.

[Jerrick]

I ride with some guys and we all hate each other. It sucks, but theres nothing much else there.

[Biggestbtc]

I don't have any unicycling buddies...:(

[critter]

I wish my friends would taunt me on the trail.

I only have a couple of uni buddies, but they hardly ride. They always say stuff like. ''I have to work'' or ''I have to take care of my kids'' or ''I'm out of shape'' or ''my wife won't let me'' or ''I rather ride my motorcycle'' or ''I rather go kite-surfing''.
Damm, Get a life..... one that involves more unicycles.

The thread title is a loaded question. By posting here we are all admitting to being annoying unicyclists! So be it. The first post reminded me of my early unicycling days, back in the Redford Township Unicycle Club (Michigan). We had several pieces of "equipment" that we rode on in shows, like a balance beam, jump ramp, etc. One was a 4-way ramp, basically shaped like a plus-sign with a little platform in the middle to hold the ramps up. We would do figure-8s and other patterns around this ramp but Mark Shaefer, one of the fastest unicyclists of the early 80s, would always pause at the top to screw up whoever was coming. :)

I think once or twice he did the same thing on our see-saw. I believe this was a 10' long board over a base made of pipe; a simple construction to provide the see-saw action with minimal parts. You could ride two over it at a time, with good teamwork. We tried many times to cram three of our 24" wheels on there, but I don't know if we ever got it. But doing it in tandem, you still had to keep your spacing tight, and have a lot of trust in the other rider. As the front rider, you ended up riding almost to the top of the board before it would start to come down. But Mark would ride onto the back end and stop, leaving me hanging up there!

Damm, Get a life..... one that involves more unicycles.I'll try to bring a unicycle on any future visits to Hawaii! Even if it's to the wrong island. Everyone else, think of critter on future visits to Oahu!

[spazdude222]

HAhahaha! Whenever Matt and I ride, I get tired first, and I always need somekind of tools to fix some stupid little problem. He probably think's I'm the most annoying Uni buddy ever. But saying as we've been best friends for years, I don't think he's actually pissed with me... At least I hope he isn't :o

Do You Unicycle with other annoying Unicyclists?

I usually don't ride with other unicyclists, period. I much prefer going solo so I can go at my own pace, maybe do various lines over and over at my leisure, and get into a total zone! And because I stop often to set up and film, etc., I would feel rather guilty that I'd be holding up other riders. Most of the people I've ridden with really don't like to be on either end of a camcorder, and, if anything, they typically only take stills. :o

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

I don't have any unicycling buddies...:(

I totally feel for you babe... this is what you're missing out on.

this is what your buddies do when you're trying to land a 3spin off a seven foot drop. ;)

[uni57]

As long as they don't crash into me or make grammatical mistakes, I'm okay.

[peleschramm]

I have ridden with very many people before, and I must say I have found a lot of them annoying.

But a lot of them were really awesome too :p

[daretodream]

I don't have any unicycling buddies...:(

oh thats so .......sad.....

I knew a guy once who didnt have any unicycle buddies, so one day he showed his friends his shiny gleaming wheel and it beckoned to them and taunted to them "you can't ride me" ....... and now he has lots of uni buddies!

If you dont have any uni buddies try doing what my friend did and create your own.........has the advantage that you'l probably be better than them seeing as you started first, they will probably forever idolise you as their initial inspiration and you'l be helping to grow the sport of unicycling.

But if all thats too hard you could always have an imaginery uni buddy; one thats not too annoying!!!!! LOL.

Clever clever John. You noticed!!:D

HA HA HA.............actually it was an 8 :p

[Phil_on_uni]

ya... pretty much all we talk about is how much we hate each other.... one big group of hating unicyclists with curly hair.

I totally feel for you babe... this is what you're missing out on.

this is what your buddies do when you're trying to land a 3spin off a seven foot drop. ;)

I thought it would be encouraging... like when you put a twinkie at the finish line to make sure the stoner finishes first

[Obtusellama]

It's a sad feeling :(

i share your pain

[ninja tom]

I uni with 3 other everynow and then, they're all coo, apart from when I go muni With 1.

:D

[peleschramm]

Man, when I ride with Dan Heaton sometimes, he can be really annoying :p

jk guys...

[BillyTheMountain]

Second

and she is riding barefoot!!!

Do you find it annoying when they ride barefoot?

[daretodream]

Man, when I ride with Dan Heaton sometimes, he can be really annoying :p

jk guys...

Why? Why? don't leave us wondering.lol

[peleschramm]

Why? Why? don't leave us wondering.lol

I'm not entirely sure as to whether or not you are being sarcastic, but just in case you aren't it is sometimes wise to highlight my post.

[poofengle]

I used to ride with 3 to 4 friends, but one of them "bent" his uni cranks, one's too "out of shape" to do any riding at all, another one says that he's not good enough to ride with us (even though he's a good rider), and then there's the last one who's afraid to put forth any physical effort at all for anything.

So when I try to organize any muni/street/etc. get together, everyone pulls out their excuses and sits at home yet another day.

Annoying as fuck.

[dudewithasock]

Dude... I suck but I'll ride with you.

Come down to college station. :p

[MuniAddict]

So basically your admitting you dont ride with other unicyclists because your the annoying unicyclist!!!! :)Never.:p

[daretodream]

I'm not entirely sure as to whether or not you are being sarcastic, but just in case you aren't it is sometimes wise to highlight my post.

Did I forget this? LOL :rolleyes:

[maestro8]

This is your chance to get things off your chest... Do you have one of those annoying Unicycle buddies?

No, I'd never ride with anyone who posts unicycle threads in Just Conversation.

Maybe Theres a little of the Annoying Unicyclist in ALL OF US!!!!
Absolutely not. I am as witty, charming and graceful as they come... the type of unicyclist most girls would love to bring home to meet mother.

[daretodream]

Nothing like time spent with your uni buddies to get more inspiration for this thread.Like you know whats really really annoying is when every unicyclist in NSW is going to Uninats in Wollongong at easter time and your Uni buddy wants to ride elsewhere that weekend!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

[SirSkillz]

no one unicycles where i live:(:(:(boo hoo:(:(:(

i guess i could teach someone, but that would be solving the problem...

[daretodream]

Oh and u know whats annoying too, when u plan to go do a day trip to check out the muni track for uninats (with your other uni buddy) and u never get there cos he locks his keys in his unit and u spend the morning driving back to your place to get a ladder so he can climb in through a window and get his keys and you cant use his spare set of keys cos there in the unit too!! :eek:

[daretodream]

no one unicycles where i live:(:(:(boo hoo:(:(:(

i guess i could teach someone, but that would be solving the problem...

you must come and annoy us in Australia then.LOL.:D

[SirSkillz]

you must come and annoy us in Australia then.LOL.:D

YAH! Australia sounds awesome! i just bought a plane ticket and am on my way! see you tomorrow!:D

[Ducttape]

I don't unicycle with annoying people! Annoying People unicycle with me!

[K0xd]

I used to ride with my m8 but he couldnt land tricks and got bored. know i ride alone. Then if i fall no one can see you and laugh. :D

[ninja tom]

I don't unicycle with annoying people! Annoying People unicycle with me!

narh, I am the annoying unicyclist :p ;)

[peleschramm]

I don't unicycle with annoying people! Annoying People unicycle with me!

That's pretty clever, and true. If you think about it, you don't choose to unicycle with annoying people, they choose to unicycle with you.

[1-wheeled-grape]

haha I ride with a mildly annoying unicyclist, annoying for a few reasons lol
1, he hibernates from the first speck of rain in autumn to when it is hot again in the spring.
2, he keeps saying you should do this... do that, but he is a much faster learner than me and often forgets it.
3, I if say I want to learn something he says no don't do that, do this...
4, I'm fat basically and just cannot do something after a while from just being knackered... however he then complains that I just "give up".

haha He's not that bad really lol :D still annoys me sometimes though lol

[johnfoss]

I sometimes unicycle with Maestro8, ThisGuyIKnow, or Harper.

I'm probably annoying to all of them.

[Jamin]

I find that when I go out riding with my uni buddies, one of them will often "accidentally" put my unicycle into their car.

[daretodream]

My annoying Uni buddy hangs onto my backpack when i'm trying to mount "supposedly" to teach me to mount quicker.Only even when Im mounted he doesnt let go.........so annoying.....

[Jamin]

Does anyone else find it annoying when you are teaching someone a technique and they don't listen. Then a few weeks / months later they come to the same conclusion. Its like unicyclist have to learn things for themselves.

[skrobo]

Dude... I suck but I'll ride with you.

Come down to college station. :p

stop trying to be so humble... you and spazzdude are pretty good... but that said, i might trade you for the pretty lady in the red bikini... but only if she could keep up.

oh, i do ride w/ other annoying unicyclists because they seem to want attention from riding... not just joy by riding.

[skrobo]

+1 !

[pedrotejada]

I ride a lot with Guilherme, and he's cool for me :D

We ride twice a week together I think... Sometimes more... and I ride basically everyday... I must say that I need this time alone... It's good to be with my MP3 player, alone, riding just for me... And also good to ride with Gui and share new moves and ideas :D

Except from Guilherme I just had fun with some unicyclists at UNICON, and Adrien, Elliot, Daniel and a bit with Raphi in German and France... SO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE ANNOYING! It's not everyday you ride with someone who is consistent in 9spins on flat ground and frontflips:p

[daretodream]

I think its really annoying when your uni buddy buys unicycle stuff andWONT TELL YOU WHAT IT IS!!!!

[daretodream]

I got so frustrated the other night when I couldnt mount my 36.Then sometime later I realised my annoying Uni buddy had raised my post 3 inches to ride it and hadnt put it back down again.I didnt know who to be most annoyed at; him for raising it or me for not realising it was raised! :o
