Well everybody, I had an awesome spring break at Disneyland and Tucson. It sucks that school has started again, but I've been pretty busy with theatre stuff, the show i am in is pretty physically demanding. If anyone is interested in the shows this semester, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown is April 1 through April 6 at 8:00 and matinees at 2:00 on saturday and sunday, but it might be sold out already, so if you want tickets you might want to get there earlier at 7 to get put on the waiting list.
In Uni news i went to the skate park this past Friday and it was FREAKING AWESOME! I even have pictures from that day as well as from earlier this year that i will

thoughts and activities
So this week me and my friend tried to get as much footage for our unicycle video. We got a lot of good stuff. A pretty cool shot we got was where I jumped onto the seat of a bench, then onto the top, and dropped off of it. Hopefully pretty soon, after we get back from spring break, I will have my first video finished and up so you all can watch it.
On a sad note, because of all the hardcore-ness of my unicycle skills, I have bent one of my cranks on my uni. So I now need to get new ones pretty soon, but they can cost up to $70. ugh :( But I'm going to ride it until it breaks, lets hope it doesn't end up too painful. Note to self, no more big drops for me... at least for a while. DAMMIT!!
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is over!! We had a huge cast party! I got pretty drunk, it was awesome! Now I only have one show left, The Miser, it's going to be freakin' amazing!
I also just started pledge week for Alpha Psi Omega, a national theatre fraternity, so if you see me dressed funky this next week, that's why. It is going to be a blast though, I have already had sooooo much fun with the couple of days we have been pledging for. I also have to wear a phallic screw around my neck, and when anyone asks me what it is, I have to recite a monologue which explains it. AWESOME!!!
I'm also going to Disneyland for spring break!! It's gonna be awesome!!

Videos!
In my, almost two, years of unicycling I've seen many videos which have made me interested in many types of unicycling. I know what your thinking, there is only one type of uni-ing. "Circus people are the only ones who ride, right?" Wrong! there are many different aspects to the sport of unicycling.
There is long distance racing in which you have a big diameter tire, such as a 36" wheel
Races where you have a regulation size 24" wheel, these can be speed racing or slow, wheel walking, or one footed.
Muni, which is mountain biking on a unicycle,and yes we can go over the same terrain that mountain bikes can.

Trials, where you try to get over obstacles ranging in heights, size, shape, and distance from each other.

Freestyle, which is basically ice skating type moves but on a unicycle. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ax8s40p6bRI&feature=related
Flatland, which consists of performing tricks and using the uni in ways other than what is "normal" it is basically the same as flatland on a bmx bike. http://youtube.com/watch?v=A4SLVS0pAFg
And finally,
Street, which is using urban areas to do stunts like jumping staircases, grinding rails, and pretty much using everything as your playground.

Me!
I just got a new unicycle a few weeks ago. It is made for jumping and taking lots of abuse. So i decided to put it to the test. This was the first time that i jumped a 4 stair, and up onto a bench. So i was pretty happy with my new uni. My roommate took the pictures with this new fish eye lens that he just got, so he was also pretty excited to shoot me. The pictures are pretty sweet and make me look like a bad ass!
