Right Handed unicyclist
Right foot back
Jump to the left
Spin better Counterclockwise (freestyle spin)
I don’t do unispins

Can play a level 5 on TV
Riding since January 1980, Riding muni since 1997

I learned to ride in 1980 but didn’t learn to do anything more than just mount, ride around, and idle. I didn’t ride much back then other than to goof around.
Got a Pashley MUni in 1997 and from there got much more interested in unicycling again. Started learning more skills. It takes more time to learn riding skills when you’re over 30. Enjoy the quick learning progression while you’re young cause it won’t last forever. :slight_smile:
Mostly I enjoy muni and climbing and then riding back down on a bumpy trail.
