  1. I'd like to thank everyone for their replies to my thread. It seems my
    seat was too low about 6cm. Since I have raised it I seem to
    automatically have more weight on it, and my legs last longer. I do not
    seem to have the innate good balance to ride off into the sunset
    however, so I am going to continue using my ski poles for a while longer
    and hope I smooth out some more. I'm also going to start practicing
    trying to idle in my house, hoping this helps with balance while moving.
    Thanks Again

  2. I would try uni'ing outside in a bigger area. You have more freedom and
    don't have to worry about breaking anything. Unless you have a huge gym
    hidden somewhere in your house, just go to a tennis court, theres bound
    to be a local one near you. Well, dont hurt yourself, and have fun!

  3. Did more riding tonite, I made a real effort to position my hips forward
    and keep my back real straight. I also tried to keep as much weight as
    possible on the seat. Doing all of the above seemed to smooth me out and
    give me more control. Thanks to all for their advice, and to all the
    Brits out there, I'm having a glass of Bass in your honor.

    The pleasure is ours. Having a place like this to swap hints and find
    out how to do something which (when all is said and done) is a fairly
    odd thing to try to do, is wonderful.

    Anyway, we're Scottish - have a whisky instead 🙂

    The idle is pretty hard for a beginner. I would focus on riding and
    turning first.

    Just my opinion. Keep it up!
