down the road with an umbrella watching the bicyclists get wet... ;-)

I learnt to ride in the comfort of my lounge. When I first went
to a juggling club people were kinda confused that I could idle for
ages but was useless at riding forwards. :-)

Lots of people at our club got shiny new unis off Santa. I think we
counted eight. Considering that, up to a few months ago, I was *the*
unicyclist of the club we've now got enough for a couple of hockey
teams. Wahay. So, two questions:
1. Is this sudden interest in unicycling local to Birmingham (UK) or
has the juggling craze of the last couple of years finally found
out where it's at?
2. What's the best kind of (relatively cheap) stick for playing
unicycle hockey? I've got an ice hockey stick but that cost
UKP23. If the club's going to splash out for (say) six sticks, we'd
want to keep the price a fair bit lower. What about street hockey
sticks? Are they OK for tournaments or are they frowned upon?

Welcome to the world of unicycling. You're gonna love it.

Mark.
