Hi! My name is Ashe and I’ve been unicycling on-and-off since I was probably about 11 years old. I’m a New Jersey native but I moved into Philadelphia at the start of this year and I’ve been having a great time doing some city riding the past few months. I primarily ride street/trials on my Nimbus Equinox 19", but I’m also interested in trying out muni or maybe even some road adventures whenever I get the chance. I’m currently in the middle of a major training arc trying to lock in some of the basic building-block tricks that I’ve put off learning properly for far too long; I’m particularly focused on getting more comfortable with ledge grinds and hopefully moving onto rails in the near future.
I’d love to have a riding buddy or two, so if you’re local to the Philly area and interested in cruising around the city sometime feel free to hit me up!
Hey Ashe welcome! I’m a Philly rider myself, mostly trails in the area. A lot of the SRT on weekends, Pennypack, some occasional in-the-city stuff. There used to be an active Facebook group of Philly unicyclists, not sure if they’re still there or not (I’m not a Facebook user).
I’m def hoping to ride some more local trails once I can get my paws on a more distance-worthy unicycle! I do ride a bit of the SRT on my trials uni once in a while to get to/from Paine’s Park, but usually by the time I make it home I’m wishing I just took SEPTA haha
I’ve never had a facebook account either and I’m not looking to change that anytime soon so I guess the facebook unicyclists shall remain an enigma for now
