"As I’m sure many of you are aware of, over the past year I have really started to take a liking to the sport of unicycling. So how did I get into this strange sport you might ask and how am I doing at it? Well here we go…"

"How did you get into the sport of unicycling? Okay well, I'm a piano tuner by trade. So I own my business and I wanted to get into an exercise program that would get me in shape and keep me there [in shape]. I thought about mountain biking, running, swimming, even rock climbing came to mind, but still I wanted to do something that was not only challenging, but fun and exhilarating. Something that would put me in the best shape of my life! So at age 50, I bought a very inexpensive unicycle online and as soon as it arrived to my surprise, I was able to get right on it and ride...after 36 years since my last ride! (Terry learned how to ride a unicycle when he was a child.)"If Terry can do it, I can do it - he's older than me and there was a bigger gap between when he rode as a youngster and now! :)

If I can achieve in one year what Ezra achieved in tricks 2 and 3 (beginning @ 2:47 and going to 3:10) I'll be more than pleased.

"After retiring from a busy university department in Newcastle upon Tyne, and with the time and the need for more than the usual consultancies, I was able follow some of my more extreme inclinations. As a cyclist, I had occasionally thought of using more or fewer wheels, but it was only when choosing a grandson’s gift that I got seriously lost in contemplation of a gleaming chrome unicycle. My wife said "buy the bloody" thing, which I did on the whim of the moment. After months of practice at home, I graduated to back streets, a small paved park, and finally town roads. I couldn’t avoid being noticed; in turn, I couldn’t avoid observing the form that notice took. Because at the time there were no other unicyclists in the area, such sightings would have been exceptional, yet I soon found that the responses to them were stereotyped and predictable. I realised that this indicated an underlying biological phenomenon and set about its study."
