Hi everyone. I haven’t posted here in AGES, mostly because I haven’t been riding much. Time, fitness level, my back. . . several things have conspired against me since my wife bought me my unicycle for Christmas back in 2005. But I had a tiny breakthrough today, so I thought I’d stop by and say. . .
I finally freemounted!!
It was a lot of work, and I’ve got the scrapes on my elbow and shin to prove it. But it was worth it. I wrote it up on my blog (which I also haven’t posted to in AGES) if anyone’s interested, the URL’s in my signature.
Gild, you were the second person to reply to my first post. To this day, I still remember Harper’s advice, which you echoed, almost every time I get up and moving: keep your weight in the seat!
It may take another couple of years due to my inability to ride regularly, but I’m just as determined as I ever was to be able to ride freely. So I will!
