Step 1: Buy Coker. It arrives 3/16/2.
Step 2: Buy videos and Dancey book and flail around aimlessly roughly 2.5
months without learning how to unicycle.
Step 3: Buy Halpern’s Anyone Can Ride A Unicycle…
3 days (6 half-hour lessons later (with one spotter instead of the
recommended two - thanks Christa!)) I rode almost a hundred feet!
The 6x6x12 block I bought to stabilize the Coker was basically useless - I
didn’t even try to use it after the first 5 minutes of my first practice
session. The first couple of lessons were really interesting: they went
from ‘this is impossible’ to ‘this is easy’ in about ten minutes each.
The pamphlet is a couple of dozen pages, rather less than half text. If Mr.
Halpern were to post his advice at www.unicycling.org, it could save clumsy
oafs like me a lot of time, compared to, say, the unicycling faq or the
advice on the JIS.
Learning on a Coker was supposedly harder than learning on a 20", but Cokers
rawk.

I must say, the corker (while i have never ridden one) is a really really
ballsey step. I can tell you it was a large learning prossess going from the
20 to the 24 when i first got it. I think i would have some trouble going
100 ft on a corker if it arrived in my hands tomarow.

No. Because Jack Halpern hasn’t gotten around to writing it yet.
