After a break of 10 years, I decided to get another unicycle (previous one was stolen 10 years ago). I got a cheap chinese 24" off eBay, figuring I will probably trash it while learning again.
After two days (30 minutes each day) I can free mount sometimes and ride erratically up to 10 metres. Sometimes I turn corners but not on purpose :-)
I am pretty happy with my progress and look forward to going further than the driveway some day soon.
Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the time do it along the way. Bob Burnquist on how to improve significantly.

it's all about balls. i lose them often and then get em back.
I plan to spend some time rebuilding the basic skills first. I used to do a bit of muni riding last time round and that still interests me. Nothing too extreme though, at least at first.
I will probably also do trips to the shops (4km each way) on the uni rather than the mountain bike.
I also juggle (working on a 5 ball cascade) so this time round I mean to master riding / idling while juggling. Never could do this before, I always ended up dropping either the juggling props or the cycle.
