one useful link you will always be coming back to is this one.
also, a website thats very good for beginners is http://marsht.tripod.com
and http://unicycletips.com
oh, and as for the chafing thing, it’ll go away the better you get at riding. just give it time.
welcome!
with the chaffing it may be because of your seat if it is not smooth
some cool dvds are universe 1 and 2 aswell as defect some neat tricks you can learn are hoptwists riding seat in front and hopping seat in front…those are all pretty simple to learn
not to toot my own horn…or more accurately, to toot my own horn, the DVD I released is very inspirational to new riders.
Also, keeping a baggie of cornstarch with you to throw in your shorts once you start getting chaffed works wonders!
(you get used to saddle time and chaffing becomes less and less of an issue)
here’s an ebay link for TWNR on the cheap:
put some antibiotic ointment on your legs after your chaffed, that helps a lot.
the cornstartch (cheap equivelant to baby powder) prevents the chaffing (not to mention ‘cools down everything’ during the ride)
