At school, we have very broad stairs that lead down into a large
courtyard. Each step must be at least a foot wide; there are about 10-15
steps from top to bottom. It's pretty good to learn on because if you're
not comfortable riding strait down, their is about 200 feet of length to
each step, so a unic can regain balance before riding down the next
step. Even though it's not very difficult, I've managed to get a miriad
of responses from local passers-by: everything from gasps to a comment
on my unicycle prowess (at lest, that's how I decided to recieve it).
