golden chicken and mucRider are right there with us
Harper bought his first uni when he was 11, I think that was about 70-80 years ago:D :wink:

I do not consider myself to be ā€œreally goodā€ yet. Iā€™m only level seven right now. I have been unicycling since late October of 2003, so itā€™s about sixteen months now. If I am somewhat good at freestyle (questionable), itā€™s mostly because I often practice two hours or more a day. If you practice enough, you can learn almost anything.

63

I was 12.

64

well man, i consider anyone with a stand up wheel walk to be really good. probably because i cant even stand like that if im clinging to a wall.

65

I was fourteen when i bought a Norco 20", im sixteen now and planning to buy a KH29

66

I was 10

67

I lost my unicycle buying virginity when i was 13. I am 13

68

69

i was 14 and I am 14

70

38, last year.
I bought my second one this year and hopefully will be getting my 3rd soon.
This seems to be a bit of a trend.

I was given my first uni for my 42nd birthday (a Pashley 20" Muni) and it
took me two and a half years to get around to buying my Onza 24".

Unless (I would say) the money was given with the explicit objective
to buy a unicycle for it. Then itā€™s rather as if the unicycle was
given to you, but you could have your say in what color etc.

Looks remarkably similar to the second plot from the bottom of
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~klaasbil/agelearn.htm>, ā€œAge distribution of
respondentsā€.

Evidence (not proof) that most people either learn on their
first-bought uni, or start buying unis as soon as they can ride.
