jumping roap on a uni.

Dear one wheelers and dealers,

  How do you jump roap on a unicycle. Do you jump once and idle once and
  jump once and idle once? Maybe you just jump and jump and jump. In that
  case I will be distraught because that is very difficult. I can jump once
  and idle once and repeat that but jumping many times in a row illudes me.
  Also, how do you get your husband to ride a unicycle. I bought him one
  for valentines day and he hasn't used it much. No stupid obvious sex
  jokes please.

A couple more hints on hopping and learning to jump rope on uni… When learning
to hop, remember to stand up, and lock your knees straight. The anlkes do just a
little of motion up and down, but the knees do not flex at all. I can’t say that
I’d recommend putting your feet in the spokes - this could be a nasty fall if
you cannot get the feet out in time :frowning: Once you have the hopping down a little,
try buying a bungee strap/tie down strap. You hook one end around the post of
the uni, go thru your legs, around your lower back, back thru your legs and hook
again on the post. This allows better contact between you and the uni without
chafing the inner thighs too much.
