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!

How did you learn?
I learned in my basement. At the time we just took some cabinets out of our kitchen and I had a little strip in between them that I rode in. I was actually supposed to be helping my dad with the electrical for the kitchen and I didn't want to work so I was down in the basement and picked it up. -- Pdougherty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pdougherty's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16060 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 started to learn against a building and didn't get to far. When I bought my own a couple years later I studded the tire and and learnt on a cleared section of the lake as it was the only flat area around. -- saskatchewanian The Coker isn't elegant, it's majestic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 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 by riding along a chain link fence next to a sidewalk. When I lost my balance, I could grab through the fence and prevent a fall, this was pretty bad for my fingers though, even with gloves. When I started going several consecutive revolutions, I could brush my palm along the fence for balance, kind of like riding Braille. The tennis court was good too, that's where I learned how to turn.

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. -- One on one "That's going to end up in somebody's sig." - rob.northcott "one on one is happy, so am I!...." -CKCrowe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ One on one's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5740 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 |
