Default How did you learn?


Was reading another thread and saw people veering to this conversation
and thought I'd start a thread to hear where some of you started
unicycling. I started in the snow in michigan on a christmas morning by
hanging on to a fire hydrant. I got much better once I shoveled the
sidewalk! Ha!

The neighbors must have thought that you really lost it. Old guy, 1
wheeled bike, snow on the ground. Definitely crackers.

I learned on the back deck of my house. Has a nice railing at just the
right height. I'd come home at midnight from my job and would try to
ride it. Lots of banging noise as the uni kept hitting the deck.

I learned in an old school hall. I put my chair (that I was holding on
to) just far enough away from the stage so that one rev could get to it
then set off from my chair. The better I got, the further away from the
stage I moved my chair. Eventually I turned my chair around and rode
right across the room.
