A little over a week ago, I built a new frame for my MUni and all of a sudden had an inspiration to try new things.
Last week on Thursday I tried hopping in place for the first time. Friday I practiced hopping and riding around a curved 8" wide wall around a playground.
Sunday I landed a 16" drop on the second try, altough I didn’t ride it out.
This evening, I practiced hopping up onto a curb that starts at about 3" and rises up to about 12". I managed to consistently hop up onto it at the 9" point before running out of daylight.
I know these numbers aren’t very impressive and please don’t misinterpret this post as a boast. I just wanted to share my experiences over the past week with people that can relate to the enjoyment 
sweet man, props on doing new stuff. no matter how high it is, its always awesome learning new stuff, and getting new inspiration.

I can see it now…
If you ain’t crashin, you ain’t hopping high enough.
Good job on pushing forward! A toast to your achievements!

Thanks, I managed to hop up the 12" high part of the curb/sidewalk this evening and even hopped up a couple of stairs.
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks:D
jeenyus, thanks for the props:)
thanx for posting that kenny
i sometimes feel like i can’t just post to mention some new trick i managed because i don’t want to be seen to ‘brag’ about idling one-foot extended when there r people on the forum who can do backward-one-foot-wheel-walking-in-a-figure-of-eight
that might skew the view of the unicycling world (and this forum in particular) for new riders (or relatively new riders)
any rider who posts here should know that a mention of a new trick will be greeted with the respect due
irrespective of the difficulty level
the joy of ‘mastering’ a new skill is an intensely personal one
yet the opportunity to share that, with people who can actually understand ('cause let’s face it, non-riders hardly ever ‘gets it’) adds to the enjoyment
having said that, pardon me while i go start another

Now I’ll have proper place to post about my minor accomplishments 
I learned to mount a few weeks a go with my non-chocolate foot… It’s something I have been putting of for over a year now b/c it felt so alien. Well I forced myself to screw around with it for more than a few minutes and picked it up after about 30 minutes. Still feels VERY weird but it’s getting easier. That’s my minor uni accomplishment of the summer.
My 7 year old daughter just started to freemount after 6 months of riding. She freemounts with either foot. She just uses the pedal that is closest to the gorund and goes. I have not said anything to her about it. I’m just going to observe her and see if she how or if she develops a preferred foot.
For a while I did all my mounting with the “other” foot to get more comfortable with the either foot freemount. I still prefer using my right to mount, but the other foot is an option.
Stick with it, the versatility will pay off in the future.
