getting an idea of skill level

New to site, 53 and been riding since 1st grade. Looking at a skills test, I fall into a level 2-3. Ride all day, on or off road, but for what ever reason never really learned any tricks. I’m the same on the 2 wheeled thing. So am I alone,
or do others on here fall into my catagory? thanks

Hi jona and welcome to the forum. :slight_smile:

I have had a unicycle for 2 years now.
I can freemount most of the time and ride forward. Not always in a straight line though LOL.
I am practicing idling and hopping, but not doing very well. I start out with good intentions, but it seems more fun to just ride away.
I am a bit creaky and doddery so I kinda guess I wouldn’t be able to do tricks without coming a cropper.

( ps If BTM is reading this, I’m not too old to pole dance :wink: )

Jona, I’m 51 and have been riding on and off since I was 16. I mostly ride on the streets and have never devoted much time to learning tricks. I’ve tried at times, but just don’t have much interest and/or motivation. Perhaps if I hung out with other riders more it would be different. But for now I’m just content to go for 4 to 15 mile rides around the neighborhood.

I’ve been riding for upwards of four years, and I haven’t bothered to learn any tricks. It just doesn’t interest me. Immediately after I became proficient at NOT nearly killing myself on it, I only wanted to go faster and farther. I upgraded to a 26" Sun unicycle (it wasn’t particularly good) and eventually my Coker, which I ride exclusively now. I don’t even own a bike anymore; gave it to my sister’s boyfriend.

There are several riding styles, not all of them involving tricks. It’s ok to not know tricks. If you enjoy doing something else, why not do it instead?
