What age did you buy your first uni?
As John Foss said, this would make an interesting thread:
At what age did each of us buy our first unicycle with our own money? (As opposed to someone buying it for us). My estimate is people will fall into one of two categories: -teens OR -forites I was 17 when I bought my first unicycle. It took me 6 months of saving from the moment I first saw a friend with one. I couldn't ride but I knew I just had to buy one :-)

I believe I was 19. That was a few years ago. Since then, I've bought a bunch of others.

I bought my first uni (a 20" noname) age 22. Got my MUni just before my 23rd B'day after seeing Peter B jumping around on one (and breaking his axle) at the NZ juggling festival. |

My parents bought me my first three unicycles back when I was 13 or 14.
Used Schwinn 20" Used Schwinn 24" New Schwinn giraffe I didn't buy a unicycle for myself with my own money until May of 1997 when I bought a Pashley MUni. I was 29.9 years old at the time.

I was 22 (and still am) when I bought my Summit last fall. My dad bought me my first uni, a United, when I was 20.
