Newbie would like some advice
I owned a unicycle several years ago but was never able to ride it.
Unicycles have always fascinated me and I'm considering getting another one to have another go. Can anybody advise me on how to learn to ride. Thanks |

-sit up straight -look forward -weight on seat, not pedals -pedal in a circular motion, not alternate pushing like on bike -start off holding onto something on both sides of you, so you don't start crooked -tilt forward, let go and pedal really fast, and stay on top of the wheel -fall. -repeat. (x100) That's how I did it. Have fun. -- onelesscar mmm...i love my qu-ax... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onelesscar's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11127 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51297 |
