Common insults acquired while unicycling

[silverfridge]

Add ur top insults, or retarded things u have , while riding ever heard here:
mine are as follows:
(i don't understand some either)
1# What! it has three-pieced cranks? Who would have three-pieced cranks on that thing
2#(My favourite, this kid cut me off while i was riding up a ramp, and he taunted):Ha, u can't even ride up this on ur "bike", (i wandered over to him, loomed over him, and said: thats cos u cut me off, (and he dropped his bike and ran away, to teach him a lesson, i placed his bike on the other side of this barrier, which took him ten mins to get back
3#(by some greasy emo): What, u paid five hundred bucks for a wheel, ... and a thing?(keep in mind these are aussie dollars)

I am currently learning some tricks, but nonetheless:
4# U can't do a backflip?, to his mates, hahaha, tell him to do a bar spin

also another personal favourite, some loser tried to ride me down, (and this is one reason i love uni's: i reached over and twisted his handlebars, which just about threw him off, amidst loads of swearing.

One of the new kids at work commented when I rode by:
"Look at me! Look what I can do!" while flapping his arms and rolling his head.
It turns out that 32 is old enough to reply, "damn kids!", and get a round of guffaws from the old timers out for a smoke. One of whom was his dad!

i get " why would u spend $700 (australian) on one wheel ?? " comment all the time, and it frustrates me so much, coz wen ppl ask me wat i do, and i tell them that i uni, i always get a laugh of ignorance or the comment " you clown"! Or ppl accept it and think its cool or they just think its stupid and ridiculous.

Many ppl who think unicycling is ridiculous is because they r afraid of things they dont understand so instead of learning about them, they just insult the sport!!

But no matter how harsh a comment i get, it NEVER changes my opinion of the sport i love, unicycling

a lady asked me how much i paid for my uni today, but she was nice about it. i never tell ppl actual amounts, especially in my own neighborhood. i usually say something around 25-50% lower than what it actually cost. there's no point in letting anyone know you have something valuable because they'll just either want to take it from you or think it's a stupid waste of money. let them think your $1000 unicycle cost $100, you're just making conversation anyway.

Yeah.

when i got my nimbus my mate says "you paid $250 for half a bike? YOU RETARD" and now he calls me "carnie"

I CAN RIDE NOW!

Never ceases to amaze me how people think 300 euro's is much for 'half a bike'. If I got a trialbike of the same quality for 600 euro's, I'd be more then happy. Think closer to 1000 for a low-range trialbike.

well i did say usually. if it's a $200 unicycle i'm going to say it cost $100. if it's a $1000 unicycle i'm still going to say it cost $100. the point is it really doesnt matter what you tell them unless they're asking because they want to buy one.
