Just curious, how long would you say it takes to get to that level? I realize it all depends on how much practice you're willing to put into it, and how effective practice is. For me, I learned WWing in some time, then got to 1-foot WW for 10m with about 3 weeks of practice, averaging an hour a day. Gliding probably came in another month, with less practice on average. If I were to spend 1 hour a day diligently working on a specific skill set (organized routine), how long would you guess it would take me to learn stand-up 1-foot gliding? -- tron - -= J.

She probably learned to ride in elementary school, so figure a maximum of about 10 years. Less than most people would think! *If I were to spend 1 hour a day diligently working on a specific skill set (organized routine), how long would you guess it would take me to learn stand-up 1-foot gliding? * Do you mean with your other foot waay up in the air, and your arms in a ballet pose? It's impossible to say. People learn at incredibly different rates, and the biggest factor is motivation, followed by innate ability. If you really, really wanted to do that move, you should have it down in less than a year. -- johnfoss - On the Cutting Edge John Foss the Uni-Cyclone jfoss [at] unicycling [.] com www.unicycling.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/26748 |

i saw the video for the unicon in japan, which had all of the freestyle competition on- utterly amazing! i saw a japaneese man stand-up glide into a pirruette then back to pedals again, it was crazy. there was one 12 year old japaneese boy who had reached level ten and only started to ride at age 10!!!! apparently the youngest level 10 rider! iain -- gingerfreek - unicyclist of mass destruction.
