Picking up juggling balls while unicycling?

Just wondering for anyone else who does both --- do you have some kind of stick/system for picking up the balls after you drop them, or you just dismount or asks someone else to toss them to you? Wish I could pick them up with my feet, but they don't reach ;)

freemounting a 24" vs a 16"

howdy, just picked up a 24 inch unicycle and im having a hard time freemounting it. i rode a 16 inch when i was younger and could freemount it all day long but for some reason i feel like with the larger wheel size I'm having a lot more trouble. Any reason why this might be/ any advice on being more consistent??

Unicycle for getting around town and transportation

I was looking at a 36 nimbus orical for getting around in style town and going places slightly further (8 miles or 12.8 kilometers.. I'm open to hearing recommendations for something that is better or slightly cheaper or also affirmation for if it is a good fit. have been riding a 20" for 2 Years and a 24" for 4 years. Also how are the larger wheel uni's on a occasional hill? Will I fit a orical with a leg measurement of 31"?

How old is too old ...?

We can both ride bikes, but we are in our 50s and have never uni'd. Are we too old to learn?

building my own unicycle, looking for advice

hey all, this summer as a project i aim to build my own unicycle from the ground up while keeping the cost as low as possible. i am a metal worker and have access to a local makerspace with a metal shop. i live in a big city and can get anything from local suppliers. i was thinking i would buy some tubing, either chromoly or aluminum. i would bend the pipe into a u shape, pinch the ends and add bearing cups to attach the axle mount, and then weld a piece of pipe on top for the seat post to slide into.

what metal should i build the frame out of? how would i go about making the bearing clamps? any other advice anyone can offer me?

What grease should I use for pedals?

Just installed new pedals, the previous once got stuck so hard that I literally had to pull with full force for quite sometime and when it finally got unstuck I genuinely thought that I just broke the tool.

What combination of shoes + pedals with spikes gives the most grip?

Also does it matter which shoes or is it just the pedals?

Benefits of Unicycling?

I have scoliosis. Will unicycling improve my balance and posture over time? Will it make me more effective in other sports and activities as a result of the balance and coordination gained...

Or is it mainly just a fun hobby that few people have attempted to experience?

I want to know before I buy my first unicycle. One is going for $20 where I live.

How to make it more comfortable as a dude

Hey yall, I’ve been riding unicycles of all kinds for about 5 years now, and the more I ride the more it hurts downstairs, particularly the spot right behind the family jewels. I hike them way up and out of the way of the seat but it still hurts quite a bit down there. To the guys, how do you remedy the pain situation on a unicycle?

I have my nice Kris Holm seat which is definitely the most comfy, my giraffe has a no name seat that is not very good and my 20” has a seat that makes me want to cry after a mile or two haha.

Edit: I do use chamois, and it does help a bit but the pressure is what’s really making it uncomfortable.

Seat question

My seat keeps twisting every time I dismount. Granted I’m not dismounting gracefully but gracefully enough. Haven’t ridden in 11 years and am getting back into it. I’m falling forward on both feet. Any tips to fix the seat or anything is appreciated
