Qweld said:I've taught?? a number of people. The question mark is because they
teach themselves. MOst have trouble getting on. They usually try to
put thier foot on the peddle out in front not the one towards the back
so the cycle rolls away before they even get on. I had to kids learn
in one day. They could go where they wanted and turn where they
wanted. by the end of the day. They learned on a slight slope going
down hill. I think this helps. Iv'e also had older types learn in a
day too but it took lots longer (hours) and lots a beer. Course the
beer could have been the problem, but they learned. I think counting
cranks works for a goal. A parking lot is really good place to learn.
Try to get more and more cranks don't worry about where your going
Cranks count!!! Steering will come later and you will learn it much
faster than learning how to stay on. YOu also need a good unicycle.
somthing with good bearings that will not wobble out like the unicycles
with tricycle bearings sold by sears years ago. And a good seat that
wont rub you raw. Other than that keep trying count cranks and go go
go.
I am 50 years old and just starting to ride a unicycle. I don't have a
lot of time but try to get out at least for an hour each day. I can
start from a curb but not always. I mounted using a rock once, but just
once. I can ride over 50 meters easily but I get very tired. My legs
start burning. Maybe I am not sitting on that seat. I can turn to the
left without falling and can circle around the full length of a tennis
court. However, I don't feel like some people feel when they say once
you ride 30 meters you can ride as far as you want. Can anyone give me
any advice? Will it just click all of a sudden one day?
Thanks in advance
