  2. Learning the other foot took me only about 5-10 minutes to get down
    after I could do the other foot. Good luck to you, and congrats. You
    should have it in no time.

    by the Brillo of ridicule.

  4. Awesome. I still have trouble readjusting a foot if it gets a little
    out of position. I think one foot is still quite a ways off for me.

  7. Gliding is riding the unicycle while maintaining balance using only the
    breaking action of one foot. Coasting is riding with both feet on the
    fork (like in my avatar) or one foot on the fork and one extended, and
    without touching the wheel in any way. You keep balance by leaning back
    and forth. Coasting is about ten times as hard as gliding.
