I’m in the Metro Detroit area of Michigan, I was in a parade with my mountain bike and there was a group of Unicycles next to us who convinced a buddy and I to take a Beginner class. Long story short, I now own a Uni, I have no problems riding it in the gym we practiced in during the winter. I’m still learning on pavement it’s a huge difference from a gym floor, the thing just grips. I’m also still learning how to mount the thing without assistance. But I figure it’s good for your core to ride one. Anyways just wanted to say hello and glad to find such a site, I figure the more I look around the more tips I will learn.
Definately good for your core! I gained about 15 or 20 pounds from just unicycling. I remember when i first started really extending on jumps, man my core burned! Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay!
Have a video! A guy on that page (plthrouth) has a lot of good muni videos as well! Being a mountain biker i think you would like Muni.
Most of the initial problems you will encounter can be overcome by simple practise, but if you’re not sure, do post your questions here.
There’s a whole bunch of us who’ll be happy to help out with suggestions, hints and allegations.
I’m Dave, I’m a radio presenter from South Africa, and I occasionally ride a unicycle.
I may one day be a hobo, but certainly not a firefighter. Actually I just want to give away all my money pretty much, I’ll probably still have a home (not a very big one and probably there will be people besides me there).
Right now I suffer through school and wonder why I still put up with it.
