Happy Learning on my 24"

daretodream · October 18, 2007, 2:50am

Last time I posted I was looking for advice on what Uni to buy and what size it should be.Happily I went along to the Uninats in Sydney and was really lucky to buy a shop demo 24" XC Kris Holmes muni for a bargain price.Its awsome, I’m really happy with my purchase and would like to thank all the people who reassured me I would be able to learn on the 24".You were all right; it hasnt been a problem and I am riding as far as my legs can take right now.(thats a football field length;not far on all your standards I know but hey a person has to start somewhere.)Today I did full circles as well ;left and right and that was really good to do too.Ive been trying to freemount this week and am so,so close.I can get up and do 1 revolution with my right leg but just cant get the left leg going.(the left leg is the one I’m trying to keep my weight off and just balance the muni with and the right one is the one I’m jumping on with and trying to pedal with first.)If anyone has any ideas about what I need to do with my left leg Im happy to listen and learn.Having heaps of fun with just the little I can and I cant wait to be able to mount on my own!Bye for now.

That’s one more of us and one less of them.

Good work mate, welcome to the wonderful world of unicycling.
