Default Need unicycle tips.


I've gotten alrite at unicycling the past week. i can ride about 1km (
approx) without falling off. i want to try and improve my balance and
consistance with pedaling. i keep going fast then slowing down and it
doesn't flow. Any Tips?? should i just keep practising riding and it
should just come to me??

Keep a straight back and keep the pedalling consistant. Apart from that
just practice. Smoothness will come with time.

Well, these tips may help you somewhat my friend.
*1) *Keep your weight on the seat, not the pedals.
*2) *Like 1wheelwonder said. Keep a straight back.
*3) *Perseverance and a lot of patience.
*4) *Repeat these steps in your head and you will soon be riding like
its 2nd nature.

Practice And as soon as you feel comfortable, try different
terrain... dirt roads/gravel, grass, transitions in between,
uphill/downhill. You'll fall off a lot (grass is tricky, it hides the
bumps), but the more kinds of terrain you ride on, the better you'll get

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

I do, just ride a tire full of wet sand and wear a lead belt so you
don't float too badly
