on one wheel

Unicycles and Equipment

While I don’t want to offend anyone involved in the Uni society of america, this
message is particularly directed to unicyclists not living in the US who receive
On One Wheel. I was just wondering if the magazine is worth the effort and money
of subscribing . . . especially given that i live in australia and have access
to this newsgroup and the internet.

Is there anythign that On One Wheel provides a person with no access to the NUC
that they can’t get from the internet??

Thanks Nic unicycle@tartarus.uwa.edu.au

I live in New Zealand. Ideas about the cost to get On one wheel sent
here, anyone?

I looked up some juggling and unicycling-related magizines at the library today
including “Catch” (I’m sure that’s the name of a juggling magizine, I’m not
going mad, am I?) and couldn’t find it, eventually with the help of a confused
desk-attendent I discovered that the “catch” they carry is about fishing.

They’re making me plan university at the moment, I think I might start fulling
in all those moronic sheets with “my goals” sections with “To go to Unicon X in
2000”. I wonder which sujects I should take in preperation for that…

The cost is $25 US for all countries other than the US, Canada, and Mexico. The
cost is $20 US for Canada and Mexico.

Also, I’ll throw in my 2 cents regarding On One Wheel. OOW has a lot of
feature stories, news items, and instructional articles that never make it to
the Internet.

Here are some articles from OOW that aren’t covered on the Internet:

Chaz Marquette’s ride on a 22 foot unicycle, with a picture.

Riding a giraffe in a parade, with advice for procedures for clubs.

Unicycling Families

Jumping Rope on a Unicycle - New World Record (talked about on the Internet, but
OOW has more detail and has pictures).

Learning advice for skills like coasting, crank idling, jumping rope and
pedaling with your hands.

Report on the Western Unicycling Regionals in Utah and the Danish Championships
in Unicycling.

A story on Tom Miller, the proprietor of The Unicycle Factory, with pictures.

I’ll stop here, but On One Wheel is a good deal for the price, even if you are
too far away to get the other benefits of USA membership.
