This is quite possibly the best new thing I've ever learned how to do in
my life!
I've had my uni (Torker LX 24) since February with nowhere to ride it
(too much snow and too small apartment) But the weather is nice now and
I've started to learn. Today was my second practice session and I can
make it a couple hundred feet without bailing at this point... I'm tired
and sunburnt, but I have a permagrin on that was previously only induced
by those ever-so-rare eastern ski powder days!
Anyway, my question- I seem to be bailing out at the end of my runs
right now mostly from leg fatigue and the resultant loss of fine motor
control- I have the impression that I'm not getting my weight down on
the seat enough or that even if I'm starting out that way, maybe I'm
coming up off the seat a bit as I get going. This might be causing the
premature fatigue.
Also- it is so cool to have something like unicycling in the back of
your mind for a couple of years, then finally decide to get a uni, then
discover that there is this huge group of people out there already doing
it and taking it so far so fast. I've enjoyed checking out all the
photos and videos over the last few months. You have a new convert!
