also consider a miyata if you're doing more freestyle at first. the kh
fusion is what i use but is more of a muni or trials seat.

Actually, the KH saddle, if that's what you have, is really great
compared to a lot of saddles. There may be slightly better ones, but at
this point, you probably don't need to invest in a new saddle.

If you are looking for advice on trials techniques, freestyle skills, or
other unicycle-related issues, check out 'The Unicyclopedia'
(ttp://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicycling). There's lots of useful
information there.

i am also at a stage where i dont seem to be getting better at
all...and even seem to be getting worse.. is this normal?

also (one last thing!) whats the best rider to learn things is (i want
to do trials) i can ride, (not too great) and hop. but only one at a
time. what should i concentrate on?*

Rob,

You may not think you're getting any better but be assured that you are.
Everytime you are in the saddle, your body continues to develop the
muscle memory needed to ride and improve.

As with so many other endeavors, you should concentrate on the basics.
Start at the beginning, the rest will come at just the right time.
Concentrate on improving your riding distance. When that's sufficiently
in hand, concentrate on smooth turning, hopping or idling, all good
basic stuff for moving toward more advanced stuff like trials. In my
opinion, smooth turning is probably the more important issue. Start
big and gradually tighten up the turning radius to both the left and
right. You can really monitor your riding ability by how smoothly you
can control the uni.

Some kids in our club want to learn to freemount or hop before they can
ride more than a few feet. I ask them what good is a freemount if you
are unable to complete the move by riding after the mount. So, start at
the beginning.

Most importantly, always feel the joy of unicycling. Unicyclist are
some of the best people on earth and are set apart and above others
simply by the ability to balance on one wheel.

Thanks for the advice guys, i will be ordering a KH saddle when i wake
up tomorrow morning.
I'm fairly used to being in a saddle ( i used to do a lot of
mountainbiking) but my current saddle is definatly very bad for blokes
(not just my opinion!)

and thanks Bruce for the riding tips, i'll keep working on the
distance!

Cheers, Rob.

Thanks, as i said before, i used to mountain bike, so i dont think my
hopping is too bad... i'm working on the free-mounting at the moment (i
get to the back pedal part, then fall off, but i expect i'll get it
eventually..) this is why i want a better saddle, because i cant adjust
my seat position while freemounting.
