How did you learn?
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. -- cathwood Cathy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cathwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9425 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65428 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

How did you learn?
Similar to Cathwood, but in a tennis court holding the chainlink fence. Started cutting the corner, first in small distances, then greater and greater as time went on. Eventually I could ride the length of the court. Set yourself small goals. -- Into the blue ok you primitive screwheads, listen up! you see this? this... is my boomstick! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oagr6ydjzdw http://tinyurl.com/yrt9x7 http://www.hello-kitty.co.uk/?p=home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yau4lpzbqae ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Into the blue's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12084 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65428 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

How did you learn?
I learned partly down the street from me on a wall. I got my first good goes in the winter near my mothers house. It was at the elementary school I once went too. (against the side of the building/ using a beam once I got better) She sat there for 3 hours in the car as I practiced. I think she knew I really wanted to learn, I can't thank her enough for that day. Ever since that first 35ft ride I was addicted like crazy. At the end of the day I got to about 100ft or soo. -- wickedbob R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG 'Add wickedbob to your ignore list' (http://tinyurl.com/3dfrko). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wickedbob's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14353 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65428 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

How did you learn?
For me it was mainly in my back garden, which was, luckily, mainly concrete. I had a wheelie bin that I used to prop myself up with to start off, but never had anything to hold on to whilst riding. I think that's a good thing though, as it meant I *had *to keep pedalling once I started. That was about 10 years ago now.

How did you learn?
I learned one summer when I was playing trombone in the Shenandoah Summer Music Theatre pit orchestra. We lived on campus in dorms. Initially, I used a brick wall. I later used one of those long movable dumpsters that was in front of the dorm building. I would start holding the dumpster, then see how far I could go without falling, as my friends drank beers and dangled their legs off the roof. Man that was a fun summer. I still don't even know what possessed me to learn to unicycle. I one day I just decided to learn, bought a book by Jack Wiley, saved some money, and then finally bought a Sun 20" uni. -- SqueakyOnion I put the *emo* in h*emo*globin.

How did you learn?
I learned in Michigan also. Don't remember what time of year I started, but it was in the weather-proof basement. My unicycle was a P.O.S. so progress was incredibly slow and I gave up many times. But after about six weeks I could ride further than the basement would allow. I took it outside and it fell apart. It was three years before I had access to another unicycle to "finish" learning on. That was a Schwinn Giraffe.

One on one wrote: 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. Hey give me a break! I was 12 at the time! Now I do I agree I am old now... in fact a year younger than?????
