unicycling side effects

c9ollie · 2007-02-18, 06:12 PM

so i was wondering what are some of the side effects that you guys have that unicycling has caused.

here are mine.

1. i can balence on the back 2 legs of a chair for a over minute

2. i can balence on my bike stopped for a long time

3. people cant trip me as much

4. i can balence on one foot with my eyes closed for almost a minute (try it its harder than it seems then ask you non unicycling firends to do it

)

5. i can dirtbike alot faster and im better at snowboarding.

what are your side effects?

My calves have gotten huge. They were big before, but now they are enormous.

dunawan · 2007-02-18, 07:53 PM

Stronger. skinner. faster (on foot). and my endurance has gotten alot better.

Another:
I can stand on the stunt pegs on my bmx and do a no handed down a hill

tobbogonist · 2007-02-18, 08:07 PM

i can stand really well

My calves have been inflated like balloons. I'm not normally narcissistic, but when I'm wearing shorts and happen to walk past a mirror, I stand on my tiptoes to see those muscular contoured calves bursting through.

I can ride a bicycle up hills now. Speaking of that, when riding a bicycle I seem to forget that I can coast on it, and that it has brakes.

The enigmatic feeling that I used to get when I saw somebody riding a unicycle has long since gone. And seeing a circus or street performer riding a unicycle... seems to look utterly ridiculous to me now.

I always get puzzled why I see people juggling at unicycle meetups/conventions too.

im making a uni out of an old push bike, im not to sure that it is going to work but its going to have gears a brake and be able to free wheel i have a thread on it..... http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57929 ..... instead of just walking the bike up the garden to grind it up i rode it and found a bad side effect of riding a uni, i only rode the bike for maybe 40 meters but it felt realy weird i forgot i could steer with the handle bars so colided with most of the trees in my garden and i didnt stop pedaling as i fogot i could, i think i will try riding a bike again tomorrow to make sure i still can and because it felt so weird

Uniman_3 · 2007-02-19, 12:13 AM

riding bikes is much easier.coasting feels stupid on them now...im getting my abs back!!My right arm got bigger than my left,From jumping all the time.I havent noticed my legs though.

those v-lines that girls like
higher tolerance for pain
higher tolerance for humiliation
eat at In-N-Out more

i can now land 720s on my skis, but I think some of that is practicing my 520s more. Uniing has taught me to initiate my spin better though
