Hold up! Are you just trying to offend as many people as
possible in one sentence or what?
Anyways, if you have time, you can do a search on the forums
for stuff like "new to unicycling", and you'll come up with
more info than you can handle. If you don't have time, it
can pretty much be summed up to keep your weight on the seat
(no matter how much you concentrate on it, you won't be able
to do it fully yet, but don't worry. There's a period of
about 5 hours when you can ride, but you haven't yet put all
your weight on the seat. Your thighs get really sore after
about 200', and you just can't go farther. Don't worry,
this'll change with time in the saddle). Try to slow down
your pedalling. Less distance in control is better than long
distance out of control. Also, try to take "steps" along a
fence. Each "step) starts in the pedal lateral position
(pedals at 3o'clock, and 6o'clock), and does a half turn of
the wheel before going to the opposite pedal lateral
position. Go in 1 step sets, and once you're comfortable, go
to two, then three. If you get tired of it, just go for a
normal riding attempt. You'll get it soon enough.
I'm curious, are you riding in steel-toed boots? That must
make things a bit harder because I imagine they're rather
heavy and slip off the pedals pretty quickly.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?
