Those turns are coming along nicely! I've had plenty of slide-outs
myself from sandy roads, as well as:
- wet/damp pavement
- slick stone pavement (such as the pavement at Grant's Tomb, where the
New York Unicycle Club meets)
- leaves
- or simply too aggressive a turn on dry pavement
If the slide-out doesn't happen really quickly, you can often land on
your feet. I once took too aggressive a turn in the rain right in front
of my apartment (while carrying an umbrella in one hand and some grocery
bags in the other)... and the Coker came out from under me but I landed
on my feet. I think a nearby spectator though it was some sort of fancy
dismount!
Here's a pic that a NYUC club member shot of one of my turns at Grant's
Tomb last fall...
