  1. I've noticed that I am almost constantly fighting a left turn. This is
    much more noticeable when I try to ride a 24". Any suggestions?

    "Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the
    basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is
    more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of
    the universe." Frank Zappa

  2. I don't think that is it, neither of my brothers have this problem.

  3. maybe that's because we've unicycled for a year longer than you and you
    started about a week ago?
    does that sound right?

  5. I'm feeling the same way. Perhaps it's just that your right side is
    taller then your left? This is not out of the ordinary.Your muscles can
    pull unevenly at your skeletal system, causing everything to be mis
    aligned. a mesuese(sp) told me this. Makes sense as your body is like a
    suspension bridge. Your muscles are the wires. The bones are the
    structure. Think about it...

  7. Everyones body is uneven naturally. We all have one hip that is higher
    than the other and one shoulder thats is more forward. My left hip is
    higher, but my right hip and shoulder go forwards more. Chances are,
    that your left shoulder sits a bit farther forwards and makes you want
    to turn(It happens to me almost every time I wheelwalk, I lean with my
    right and fall/turn right eventually).

    Try to press both of your shoulders down while riding and just swing
    your lower arms for balance. or try pushing your left shoulder back and
    see if it helps.
