unicycle demo

A few weeks ago Campbell’s Bay school visited our school to show us how to ride unicycle.
They went on a ramp. It was exciting.
They were catching the ball and throwing the ball and they went jumping. They showed a big wheel bike and small wheel bike and tall bike. Somebody rode a tall bike. Everyone clapped. But I don’t want to do it, because I can hurt myself!
