Hi, I'm bay.
I've had my 24" Torker LX for about three weeks. The first two weeks
were kind of a waste. My friend (who is also learning) and I were not
very educated on how to ride. We spent hours attempting to freemount
and pedal. The thing was, we never learned to pedal and stay on like
that. I'm coming to the conclusion that we can freemount, and we just
have no idea how to pedal. The most we make is about 3-4 rotations and
then we fall.
I am spending four days at my mom's office to help her with some work
and earn an extra 100 bucks. She has a big warehouse in back, and it's
great for uni practice. I currently have my uni down in a 30 foot
hallway which has shelving on one side I am using for balance. I
continue to switch directions, because I am coming dependant on my
support. I haven't counted, but it's probably a minimum of 10 grabs to
the wall. When I do get going, I weave and wobble all over the place.
Is that normal? How should I fix it?
I keep in mind the fact that I'm 'catching' myself with each new pedal,
just like you do when you walk.
I also tried to get a dolly and push it infront of me while I pedaled,
but I was even more out of control, and the dolly was a little short.
Do you think what I am doing is good? I continue to try to keep my
momentum up and decrease my touches to the shelf.
I'll appreciate advice, and a cookie to anyone who read the entire
thing. Danke.
