Has everyone here seen the unicycling instructional video put out by Sem and  
Teresa Abrams? It shows all the 10 skill levels of the Unicycling Society of  
America, with different riders for all the tricks. I found it very useful to  
play certain moves over and over, then go out and try them. You can order the  
tape from the USA. If anyone wants, I’ll post their address.

It costs US$20 but isn’t available in PAL format…

They have it on DVD, but then again because you’re from 1993, you wouldn’t be able to play it. This is cool, the first post ever!

Tyler, get out of the wayback machine! According to your avatar you’re still falling down a lot. How about you go out and ride some more?

As long as we’re on this resurrected thread, I’ll point out that the subject line does not accurately fit the video. It’s mostly a _demonstrational_ video of the skill levels, so people can see what the skills look like. After each level there is a bit of advice from the riders, but the tape is not intended to teach you the skills it shows.

I’m not a level 9, but I play one on TV – that was in 1989, folks!

And it isn’t the first post either.

@ManiusTerentiusPullus : the link to the digitized version of this video was shared on this forum (can’t remember if it is a YouTube or Vimeo link). It is impressive to see him ride in small boulders fields with his torker uni 🤠
