PA is worse then you think

The_SkunkMan · 2003-12-04, 12:42 AM

Does any one here live in PA? Nothing fun or exiting ever happens. There are only one or two unicycling clubs in the state(I'm not sure) but they are hours away and no one will drive for hours for a 10 year old who unicycles.The most fun I have is showing off to my friends, but I not that good. Do you know of any clubs in PA? Where are they? I'm the only major unicyclist in miles. My older brother unicycles but isn't that good.(We joust sometimes) How do you get people to unicycle or start a club? I can't do much but show-off and be crazy on my unicycle. I need help.

Thanks

The middle of PA does suck there is absolutly nothing there, except for maybe the king of prussia mall. I do like Williamsport too but nothing seems to happen there.

Its all about Pittsburgh Baby, there are a few riders here. I know of a few out toward Philly too and then if your close enough to NYC there are some people there.

Its not all bad...

I live in a small town where nothing good happens. It's famous for a flood and the miners. The only real clubs are high school clubs and a table tennis club(started by my dad). I think there is a juggling club in Pittsburg. I want to know if any of you live in PA?

Checkernuts · 2003-12-04, 02:26 AM

yeah that juggling club in pittsburgh is the Pitt. Campus Fools, well among a few others, theres also the CMU jugglers.

It just so happens I'm the presedent of the Campus Fools we have a few Unicyclist that meet every week. If you can manage the trip up from Sommerset let me know and we can ride. In the spring we will also be hosting a circus festival that features among other things unicycling.

Your lucky enough to have some great trails arround there get out and ride with some Mtn bikers if you can.

I live in Pa, in my area i'm the only one that I know that rides. It's been fun learning, although I suppose it would be cool to know other people that ride also. I'm in Lancaster County, theres a club over in Leola that meets every Thursday, but i'm always busy then so i've never been there. I think theres a lot of schools in the area that have unicycling in their gym class, which is cool.

I like the idea of getting other people intrested, I have a friend that tried mine, but it's too tall for him, so I got a shorter seat post recently, if they want to invest the time most anyone can learn, so find devoted people and get some more unicyclists in the area : )

nikkifrog · 2003-12-04, 03:47 AM

I live in Pennsylvania. I'm in North-central PA, Potter County. I'm in the middle of nowhere. The closest Wal-Mart is 45 minutes away. I'm 3 hours from Buffalo, 2 hours from Elmira, 4 hours from Pittsburgh, 2 1/2 hours from Erie, 4 hours from Lancaster, 5 hours from Philadelphia, 2 hours from Williamsport. In Coudersport, where I live, we have a bowling alley and a one-screen movie theater. That's about it.

There aren't any nearby unicycle clubs. I would like to start one at school but the principal said he had to find out if the insurance would cover it and everything but I don't think he cares much about it. I taught my friend to ride a little bit. She just got a unicycle for her birthday so hopefully we can ride together when the weather gets nice again.

Skunkman, where in PA do you live?

DasDingus · 2003-12-04, 04:25 AM

I live in Chester County, which is about 40 NW of Philly. Im over in Jersey right now for college

I taught myself to ride and i tried to teach some of my friends but they had no interest. Ive been riding by myself now for a while, but i have little freetime now with all the work i have here.

TheObieOne3226 · 2003-12-04, 06:04 AM

i live in philly. its not bad. i probably feel this way because i have 2 friends who learned to unicycle with me and are at approximately my level. where do you guys all live, relative to philly, pittsburg etc. it would be great if any of us could meet up and ride some time, even better if one of yas lived in philly.

TheObie, where in Philly do you live? I can take the Septa R5 into center city.

TheObieOne3226 · 2003-12-05, 06:10 PM

i live in southwest philly. however i never(ever) go to my house and am always in west philly. thats where my friend joe(onewheelwizzard) lives. also, nick(shadowuni) lives in west philly when not attending college. so the short answer is youd find us all in west philly. however we would be more than happy to meet you wherever convenient. the R5 comes from NW so it might come by one of the stops near us. if not we could meet in center city. where in chester county do you live; i have family up there. anyway email me if you ever want to come down. itd be great fun. my email is theobieone3226@aol.com

TheObieOne3226 · 2003-12-05, 06:12 PM
