I am doing a report on the history of the unicycle, please vote in my poll

habbywall · 2005-12-06, 08:53 PM

okay, so i mainly want to prove that a unicycle is not a circus stunt.
please tell me like how long you've been doing it, what style(s) you like, and how often if ever people associate you with the circus.
thanks to anyone who replys

habbywall tries to make a poll, but is unsucessful.

JJuggle · 2005-12-06, 09:04 PM

Hw, I already did a similar poll and as you will see my results are incontrovertible.

You will note the outcome from this post where I announced the final definitive tally.

Good luck in proving your hypothesis. But it's wrong.

forrestunifreak · 2005-12-06, 09:13 PM

No no NO. Its NOT wrong. Circuses and stuff is stupid and has nothing to do with unicycling, unless your JJuggle or somebody. Dont listen to him.

I have never been in, wanted to be in, or thought about being in a circus. Ever.

You, of all people, must accept the validity of my poll. Afterall, it was intelligently designed.

i am not trying to prove why people start things, i am trying to show to people that unicycling is not the circus

Easily done.

Unicycling is the act of riding a unicycle, the phenomenon of unicycles being ridden, and the activity that involves the riding of unicycles.

The circus is a place of entertainment, traditionally taking place in a ring (hence the name), and featuring a variety of performers and performances, or the collective name for the troupe of entertainers associated with the circus.

Job done! Next problem?

I voted yes because the group I learned in was called a "children's cicus".

kington99 · 2005-12-06, 10:12 PM

I should have voted yes, because i learnt at circus skills club, but this fact slipped my mind for a moment.

It frightens me that someone might consider this to be proof. Conversely, it amuses me.

Ok, I guess that I'll be the first one to actually answer habbywall:

I've been riding since September (this year)
I want to get into trials
Actually, I've only been told to join the circus a couple of times.

I have to share this with you. On Halloween, I wore a big, white sheet with a hole in it over my body and rode my uni around the block, pretending to be a ghost. Quite a few people commented on the fact that I was riding a unicycle, but this one halfwit yelled, "Look, he's riding a tricycle!". Has anyone else ever heard that? I thought that it was pretty funny.
