RSU Helpfulness And Quality Of Advice Award (was Re: Rolling hop advice)
John,
You are my number one candidate for being awarded the 'RSU Helpfulness And Quality Of Advice Award', if only there were such a thing. Most all of your posts are admirably knowledgeable, informative and to-the-point, while covering a wide range of subjects from unicycle maintenance to video editing. I've thought this many times so maybe I should just say it for once.

I'd "Fifth" that but I think JC is more into malted beverages rather than hard booze. I'm still laughing.

I'm also pretty good at stealing other people's content. But Rhysling's not online here any more so I don't think he's going to complain.
I'll be accepting appreciation pints at the Moab Brewery on Sunday the 28th.

Definately! I think he's the Godfather of this forum! My Onza hub is 100% thanks to his advice and I'm super grateful for the effort he put in to putting that Dan Heaton clip up, and loads of other threads.
Both John Childs and a select few like Harper seem to be the resident fountains of unicycling knowledge! You included U-Turn! Three cheers for them all!

From the Unicycling Self Esteem thread it seems as if JC can use a little boost. So I thought I'd let this award materialise - resurrecting this thread after a long time. John, PM me if you want the Word file (higher res).

Thanks! I feel all better now! My replies in the self-esteem thread were all tongue-in-cheek after my reply in this thread. Just me having a little fun looking to see how far it would go. My self-esteem is fully intact.
