WhoooHooo



Nice! I used to think of trail riding as freemounting practice -- ride
2 feet, fall off, spend 20 minutes trying to remount; repeat until
exhausted.

VERY envious, just watched the matrix again today. you should be able to
just download the skills then i would look cool riding my uni, plus i
could get down my road twice as fast and have an excuse for some new
trainers. oh well look like itll have to be good 'ol practice.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

you say that now, but i promise you the second you learn how it will be
replaced by a new, greater ambition. kinda the same way there can be no
uni to make you happy and never want another.

When does a freemount count? I mount with wall assistance and I can't
ride more than a few feet anyway. Last night I thought I'd try to
freemount for the hell of it, as I was getting tired of my regular
practice routine. I completed the action of freemounting, and a
heartbeat later I was holding the wall. So I got up onto the seat, but
couldn't ride away before swaying sideways.

A typical indication of success in a specific skill is the ability to
ride away at least 3 revs and dismount in control. So keep trying,
digigal, you'll be there soon!

U-Turn is right in general (3 revolutions) but I have to add that for
level 1, the "freemount, ride 50 m and dismount gracefully with the
unicycle in front" is as a combination regarded as one skill, so if
you fall or step off before having ridden 50 m it does not count for
level 1.

But from what you say, digigal1, you are definitely getting there!
