Not often because I've learnt to avoid it from experience where possible. Maybe twice a year :D

Hi there and thanks. High Jump: Just like normal track and field high jump, unicycle high jump is setup and run in a similar fashion. A bar is setupand starts at a height of 30cm usually. Competitors are split into their age categories. Its basically a knockout event. You get 3 attempts to clear the set height, if you fail you get knocked out and others continue as the height gets raised.In terms of actually jumping over the bar,there are two common techniques. 1 is to be perpendicular to the bar and rideup really fast and pull up on the seat. The second technique is to be parallel and do a sidehop. I prefer the first method, I broke the national record with a height of 90cm, now aiming for a metre. Long jump, again, its similar to high jump, except its long jump :D Trials involves urban natural obstacles (eg stairs, tree stumps, rocks..) and the aim is to get from point A to B on the unicycle without falling off! Usually about 30+ obstacles are setup with different difficulties. Max Schulze is considered one of the best trials unicyclists in the world (2011 world champion).

Yes, getting them jokes is a very frequent thing. I've heard sooooo many but none have really stood out. I never really know how to respond to the ol' "Do a wheely!" I sort of just fake-laugh now :P and keep riding.
