Yeah, yeah, this is supposed to be a post for young guys, but I'm a
young guy at heart I am only into muni, though I have a 29er for road
riding, but it never gets used. My son Alex is 13, he started when I did
and he's at about the same level, but rides a lot less. Apparently the
younger you are the faster you learn

So far we have focused almost entirely on muni, so single track riding
is our strength. Alex is more interested in tricks, so he's worked on
hopping, crank flips, uni spinds, pedal grinds, backwards riding, etc...
We have progressed to fairly advanced single track in six months, still
working on developing rhythm for longer rides before UPD's, esp riding
over larger obstacles and developing endurance.

Our biggest problem is we don't have any riding partners, so starting
this Spring we're going to be sponsoring a unicycle club at my son's
middle school. Already we have two local teens riding unis, hoping to
make that number grow in the new year!
