You should be able to juggle while riding.
Start with balls.
Them: “Is that a 10 speed?”
Me: “no, it’s a single speed” as I approach the hill on my Coker.
Me: struggling a little to reach the top, “I wish I had a few speeds”
Them: “yeah, I’ll bet.”
That and “Awesome bicycle!” from some kid.
Got a standing ovation from a bunch of high school kids.
Kind of stupid since all I was doing was riding along the sidewalk.
So I got another round of applause when I hopped a curb.
Twenty minutes later, I’m on my way home again, already past the school this time and I hear a voice far, far in the distance behind me…
“hey! hey! don’t fall down!”
Kid was probably in detention for being dumb.
whenever someone says “Don’t fall” or “Don’t hurt yourself” I respond with "I didn’t intend to.
Me too, but I normaly follow it with an UPD!

I always say “ofcourse I will, I’m riding a unicycle”.
But I am afraid of turning to smile at people who make positive comments, only to land a faceplant immediately.

While visiting Walgreens on my unicycle the girl behind the counter asked me if I rode my bike like that all the time and if it was weird with only one wheel.

I’ve always found clubs easier. The problem with balls is that I’m
never sure which end to catch. (Seriously, though, clubs are easier to
catch because they’re bigger and because my hands close round them much
more easily, leaving more room for error in pre-catch hand positioning).
I also find it easier to juggle while bunnyhopping than while riding.
It’s easier to perform two rhythmic activities if both have the same
rhythm. I find it easier to hop at a comfortable juggling rhythm than
to pedal at a comfortable juggling rhythm.

I always just wave. I’m always waving my arms.
I got one of the classic quotes yesterday, but in a great scenario. I’m riding a trail, passing three mountain bikers, one of which is repairing his bike.
“Aren’t you missing something?” I think was the quote, or something similar.
“I don’t think so… less stuff to break!” I said.
Then, as the trail curved around and stayed within earshot for a big, I heard the MTBers listing all the stuff I didn’t have (and didn’t have to worry about breaking/fixing).
It’s true, most club jugglers find juggling clubs easier. But if you have a room full of beginning jugglers, they’ll all figure out the balls first. That said, if you can already juggle clubs, they’re much more visual when riding a unicycle as well. In either case, juggle while riding to get the hang of it. Hopping is probably easier than idling, and idling usually takes a while longer to learn (while juggling). The casual observer will be less impressed by idle-juggling anyway.
I figured most beginner riders might be scared of UPDing and impaling themselves on the clubs.
i got quite a ridiculous and un-revised quote from a local at the shops near me, i was hopping a little trials line i put together with pallets and crates, and the guy comes up and goes " What sports do u play?" and i replied saying, umm uni-ing and bball and not a stack else coz the uni is wat i do most! and he replies saying " Yeah, you must have GREAT ball skills, do u play cricket? " ahahaha, then he kept blabbering on about cricket and how i must be a great ballsman!
Then he leaves with the quote " I’d love to see you ride that thing on a gut full ‘a’ piss " i couldnt stop laughing afterwards !!
P.S
Piss = another word for alcohol (aussie slang)
Well, it’s a very accurate description of Aussie beer
(Sorry, had to say it)
Hey now thats not very nice. As long as you’re not drinking Vomit Beer (Victora Bitter) we have a few decent drops. I’m not saying they’re the best in the world but you can do worse.
Me and Matt were riding in this fenced in hockey rink, and, because the neighborhood isn’t exactly the best neighborhood, we got a lot of "DONT FALL"s, and "HEY"s, but this one funny kid walking his dog comes up and goes “hey is that thing hard to ride?”, and then, as he starts to leave, turns and goes “Hey, did you make that thing out of a bike?”, and then walks off.
forgot to add this in…
There’s these two little kids, that always ride their scooters around outside yelling at us to go inside, or that this is easy…they’ve told Matt to go inside and play video games before…I think they’re funny
I hate it when that happens.
