Hi Everybody , I have visited this site several times but only today I got around to posting here. I have been unicycling for several years but am a slow learner and only now have learned a simple free mount, but can ride without too many UPDs. ‘Graceful dismount’ is something I have decided not to learn at all !
I simply love unicycling and am totally awed by the expertise of so many unicyclists combining raw power, grace, immense skill and above all - courage.
I have been using Unicycling as a metaphor for many things over the years in teaching and writing - for it communicates brilliantly. Entrepreneurship, Start-up Strategy, Financial Inclusion simulation and lately Business Enterprise Management are concepts that readily respond to Unicycle arguments.
I hope to be able to post some of the stuff in our Forums. Any advice would be appreciated.
Meanwhile Happy Unicycling and stay safe wherever you are.
Regards and good luck

This is REALLY nitpicky… but for goodness’ sake, the unicycles are called KH unicycles… it’s Kris Holm… I’m sorry, but wrong first letters really bother me
Anyways, I don’t think he means that unicycling puts you in a higher station than other people.
For instance, I once used it when explaining a math concept. “It’s hard to learn,” I said, “but once you have it it’s really easy, just like unicycling - so don’t get discouraged!”
Take whatever meaning you want from the sport, but saying something does not detract from the purity of the sport itself, but is a good analogy for many things (such as how an insane person functions: try, fail, try, fail, try, fail, try, fail, try, fail, try, fail, continuing on, always expecting a different result )
That’s hilarious I actually knew there wasn’t an S, and when I wrote that I thought “here we go again, someone’s gonna point out that’s wrong” but I posted it anyways for some reason
Anyways, last letters influence a name much less than first letters (to address your point, though I know it wasn’t a serious question).
Hey @slamdance! I think you were fooled by the new forum software. lokilet posted that on May 31 and hasn’t logged in since. But I did see this thread pop up in a “suggested topics” in another topic, and I thought for a moment that it was a new thread. I guess you did too.
It’s given rise to a interesting discussion anyway!
Namely, which is worse: wrong first letters, or wrong last letters? Maybe we should steer clear of that though, it might be a bit of a contentious topic.
Not the most major problem in the world by any stretch of the imagination, however, if you are going to write a post to correct someone’s spelling, make sure you spell it correctly yourself, otherwise, it’s the pot calling the kettle black.
And yes, Kris Holm gets his name spelt wrongly all the time.
The good thing about this forum is you have time to re-read your posts and correct them.
