i had just ridden the steepest and most technical section of trail at my local mountain, when two bikers pushing up said,
"you sick sick bastard..." the other said somthing about me being "f***ing insane"

I get the word "insane" thrown at me at least once a week whilst riding... it wouldn't bother me if I weren't already at the edge of my sanity.

Where does unicycling fit into the category of "insanity"? Please entertain this question, it really gets me going some days...

"Wow, I've never seen a fat tire uni!"

That made me stop. Turns out Josh, rides a unicyle but had never seen a MUNI . He tried my Nimbus Muni and liked the fat tire. I suggested unicyclist.com would be good place for info.

I should have planned to meet him at the trail sometime.

Mexican guy from last thursday: "Can you have sex on that?"

Usualy comments can get quite repetitive, but that was the most unexpected comment I have ever recieved. haha, we had a good laugh about it.

Anything is possible...right? hehe

... Well, I'll fell off last time, but usually I just lose my hat.

... The leg pads make it harder.

... Yeah, but sometimes I lose her when I ride over a big log.

... Only downhill, but never when I coast.

... Uh huh, but don't tell my wife.

... I can but I just hate getting the molasses all over the seat.

... yeah, but sometimes I get splinters in my @55.

Now someone else...

one definition of 'insanity' suggests that insanity is the state where one repeats the same action but expects a different outcome

while learning to ride, this worried me

Were those four repeat posts (about repeating) a purposeful joke?

For some reason the question I've gotten several times the last few days is "Are you any good with that?" while I'm riding past.
Makes me wonder what being 'any good' really means.

"You're a gangster"

said very seriously by a middle-aged woman leaning out of her 4X4. I think I remember someone else posting something like that once before?

I was racing my 29er to buy candy last night, closing in a few minutes i had quite a hurry.. it was snowing and i was going stright against the wind, making it quite hard to ride, especially when there was piles of snow on the ground.

Meeting a old couple.. the woman was like "Did you see that? Dangerus!"
the man answered "Looked more slippery than dangerus to me!"

And i got there in time! Whey!
