I just can't seem to go further than 15 ft without falling off. I'm
looking for others local to help me. I have a lot of determination and
desire to ride. I'd like to get into making videos with local friends,
too. It's tough finding others that ride.

I've been riding for 7 days after not having ridden for 25 years.

Yesterday, after not being able to go more than 100 feet, I went at
least 7 times that distance

I found that once I put myself in a forward leaning position, as if I
was going to fall forward, riding and balancing became much easier.
It's easier to balance when you are not having to make gross
corrections.

I have to push myself forward, and let my body make the balance
corrections.

I'm probably making little sense here. Stay with it.

Do a search in the forum for "Basics for riding".

I used to have the Virginia tag "MUNI", but no more. I'd be more than
happy to make the trip up to Fredericksburg some weekend. If you're
into off-roading, you should consider coming to pdc's 'muni weekend'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48501), this
weekend.
