That makes me happy, Ravenkeep!
I was hoping you would make that decision.
Now, I can pass along one piece of advice/wisdom that was given to me by my 16-year old son on a day when I kept bailing after 20 feet. I felt like I just wasn’t ever going to “get it”.
He let me know that I wasn’t allowing myself to get it. He said, “You are the one keeping yourself from learning. You’re just scared.” (This cut deeper than I think he realized.). “You can do it! But, you need to want to!”
Then, he walked away, picked up his unicycle, mounted and rode down the street to the stop sign, turned right, and didn’t stop.
He left me to figure it out on my own, after he had given me every pointer he had.
The next day, I rode 100 yards for the first time.
That is why my profile name is Uni2ONE2. (Say it out loud, with the emphasis on the ONE).
I’m looking forward to reading your post in the “Today I Brag” thread.
By the way, I learned to ride a unicycle in 2018 in my late 40’s, after a spinal cord injury and two spine surgeries that required me to go to physical therapy to learn to walk correctly again, and gain back my proprioception (your brain knows where your body parts are, and can adjust accordingly).
I realize I don’t know your history, so I am really hoping I didn’t step over the line too far and do the “If I can learn, then everyone can.” thing.
I, and many others on this site I am sure, am hoping to hear successful updates from you in the future!
