new rider tips

Most importantly, keep most of your weight on the saddle not on the
pedals😄

Seat height adjusted properly - at bottom of pedal stroke with foot
horizontal, leg should be straight (knee will remain slightly bent at
bottom of normal pedal stroke)

No dangling shoelaces - can tangle in pedals and lead to much
unpleasantness

Balls of the feet on the pedals - not arches or heels

Sit up straight

As much of your weight on the seat as possible - put enough on the
pedals to control them, but don't stand on them

Don't look down

Don't hold the seat, yet - keep hands free for balancing

If you are going down, abandon the unicycle and save yourself

The two steps of learning the unicycle:
1) Get on the unicycle.
2) Fall off the unicycle.
Repeat 1) and 2) ad infinitum. The interval between them will gradually
increase.

There is no more.

I disagree with that one - when I learnt I held my seat and it made me
feel more comfortable, as soon as I learnt I let go but I think it
benifited me holding the seat.
