I made 15 feet today!! Unfortunately it was backwards!! What is up with that?
There are no fences or buildings that have sidewalk next to them near where I live; so I have been using the space between my truck and my wife’s car as a place to learn. I step up on to the Uni, at the front fenders then peddle down the space jumping hands as I go along, when I reach the end I do an UPD, (or a PD since I know it is coming). This time I was able to stop and started backpedaling as usual but this time I did not have to put either hand on the car or the truck I even went past the hood of the vehicles; then fell off.
Is it good or bad to squeeze the seat between your legs, during a dismount, planed or otherwise?
I bet you’re the first person to learn to ride backwards before you learn to ride forwards (:
its not necessarily good or bad to squeeze the seat with your legs, but if you’re going to catch it, catch the seat with your hands. however, when learning, you should probably just let it drop. the seat will get a little banged, but thats okay (:
