Moscow have decided that they don't like it anymore. sigh.... so I don't

'Here' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/JSM) is my first and so far only
video, from several months ago. I really should make another one, but I
always think "If I just waited another month or so, I should be able to
include that cool trick I'm learning," and then by the time I do learn
the trick, I'm already working on another cool one which should be ready
in a month or so. The video is extremely poor quality, since I hadn't
learned to use iMovie properly at the time, but it is a pretty small
file, too.

jsm - you just gave me something to work up to.
I believe I shall be finding a good wall to practice ww footwork next to
soon.

I only wish that it was clearer for some of the far-away shots, I can't
quite make out what you're doing. I'd like to see more though 🙂

I've been riding since October of 2003, and I've improved a lot since I
made the video. If and when I make another video, it will definitely be
clearer. At the time I made that one, I hadn't figured out that I could
change the quality settings when I export movies.

From my faithful archives at the Unicyclopedia: "When you first start
learning backward wheel walk, I recommend doing it barefoot and in a
open room with a ceiling against which you can brace yourself. The
advantage of working with a ceiling is that you can get a feel for the
motion while still being able to steer normally, whereas with a wall you
will be unable to go off in the direction of the wall. If you are
uncomfortable with barefoot riding, use some flexible shoes that are not
very bulky. When you are working on backward wheel walk, your feet get
tangled up very easily and it's hard to get a good grip on the wheel.
Doing it barefoot helps solve this problem.
The posture for backward wheel walk is a lot more forward than regular
wheel walk. I try to lean my upper body forward, but lean my lower body
and the seatpost back, so that I will have more room for my feet. For
backward wheel walk, you generally hold your arms straight out to the
side. Its hard to say why this helps, but it does.
Backward wheel walk is even slower than forward wheel walk. Try to move
your feet in small circles, closely following each other, and push the
wheel mostly with your heels. Use your whole foot if you can, but you
might find that if you try to use more than the heel, your feet will get
tangled up.
If you are having trouble getting into backward wheel walk from idling,
concentrate on making the idling smooth and as straight as possible. On
the last stroke before moving your feet to the wheel, idle out faster
and farther than normal. When the wheel rolls back, it will have some
backward momentum which is very useful when getting started. You can
also get into this skill from forward wheel walk by coming to a stop,
leaning back slightly and holding still for a minute, then reversing
direction. Getting out of this skill is pretty straightforward."

i've just watched dave's movies. they are very good. i am impressed with
the gliding, that is something i've been learning for a long time and
i'm still not that good.

for some reason i can't download brockfisher05's video. i will try to
get it to work.

lol, I know the owner of that domain (Marcel Kraan). He use to be owner
of a large hosting provider. Last time I saw him -outside in front of
his datacenter in Hoofddorp- he was amazed that I dare to ride my
unicycle while carrieng an expensive internet server in my hands.
