Are there any videos of just riding around?

Not vids of tricks or anything, I just want some videos of unicyclists
riding around on streets. . . stopping, idling, turning, etc. I guess
I mostly want ssomething to shoot for as far as balance goes; should I
just take the arm waving as a fact of unicycling, or try to gain enough
balance to hold on to the handle when riding? Is it hard to get to that
point?

I just recently got good enough to go over 150 feet. I've been riding
for five days or so. I can mount against an obstacle 100%, and havent
tried freemounting yet. I'm wobbly and wavy. so, yes, I just started
:-D I went about 500 feet today without a UPD

If you can wait until tomorrow, I can make a video of some basics like
riding around,turning,idling and things like that.

that would be great. any others from other people would be awesome, I
really appreciate it!
A plus for you is: in a year, you can make another video and compare
the two to measure your progress :-D

Accept the wavy-arms thing for now. After you unicycle for a while
(several weeks/months or so) that goes away. I can ride with my hands
in my pockets.
