  6. it was kinda hit and miss with me...i could mount with the assistance of
    a pole and ride until i was tired out most times. but sometimes it just
    wouldnt go...but dont guage yourself by how we were doing...everyone
    learns at their own pace.

  11. after 2 weeks I could ride about 100 nyards
    it was so sweeeeeet!
    sometimes, the learning process, i think, was the best part of riding
    the unicycle.
    still can do hops, or any tricks, but that is not the reason I ride. i
    ride to ride around my neighborhood, like others ride bikes.

  12. I could ride for about 6 blocks before having to get off, could turn
    easily either way, go off curbs, do very light muni, and self mount
    everytime

    I'd have to second that. I look back fondly at the initial stages of
    learning to ride. That continued persistance of falling off and
    getting back on for hours on end was amazingly fun. Then it was
    completely -awesome- when I could finally ride across the parking lot.

    Now it's still fun, but it's not as new and fresh as it was in the
    beginning.

    And to answer the actual question, after two weeks I was able to
    freemount, ride for a couple of blocks, shakily turn, do some tiny
    little hops, and maybe go off a smaller curb on a good day.

  15. Ride down my street, probably 20-30% freemounting success, turn, drop
    off curbs.
