  1. Not vids of tricks or anything, I just want some videos of unicyclists
    riding around on streets. . . stopping, idling, turning, etc. I guess
    I mostly want ssomething to shoot for as far as balance goes; should I
    just take the arm waving as a fact of unicycling, or try to gain enough
    balance to hold on to the handle when riding? Is it hard to get to that
    point?

    I just recently got good enough to go over 150 feet. I've been riding
    for five days or so. I can mount against an obstacle 100%, and havent
    tried freemounting yet. I'm wobbly and wavy. so, yes, I just started
    :-D I went about 500 feet today without a UPD

  4. If you can wait until tomorrow, I can make a video of some basics like
    riding around,turning,idling and things like that.

    that would be great. any others from other people would be awesome, I
    really appreciate it!
    A plus for you is: in a year, you can make another video and compare
    the two to measure your progress :-D

    Accept the wavy-arms thing for now. After you unicycle for a while
    (several weeks/months or so) that goes away. I can ride with my hands
    in my pockets. 😎

    haha... riding with your hands in your pockets isn't that hard if you
    just don't think about it while doing it... and I learned that after
    like 3 months of riding ... i didn't ride that much either

  13. Don't get too frustrated. Accept the waving arms thing. It'll go away.
    I've never been very athletic and am quite 'balance challenged' and it
    took me 8 months (yes months) before I could ride 150 yards without a
    UPD. And months more before the wavey arms thing went away.
