I'll start by opologising (sp) because I'm sure you get millions of these sort of posts but anyhoooo. As you may have already relised, I'm new. I decided to buy myself a unicycle 3 days ago because I've always been interested in the idea of riding a 'one wheeler' and so I raided ebay in search of a unicycle. On the advise of a few a random websites I bought a 20inch cycle as that fitted my height and waited.... So a bit about myself, my names Lee, I'm 16 and live in Newcastle, UK. My other hobbies include parkour (google it if you don't know what it is) and 2 wheeled trials riding (which gives my a certain level of experience of being on on one wheel, although I don't no whether that should help me or not) Within the past 3 days I've just about mastered what I deem to be the basics of riding a unicycle ie riding in a straight line, turning and the ability to ride a straight line, and I can hop it around like a pogo stick for ever(don't no if that has a special name or not) and now I'm appealing to you s to see where I should go next, is it just a case of just messing around and practising and should it slowly just come to me, or can you advise anything in particular bearing in mind at the moment I think I'm heading in the dirrection of street/trials unicycleing. THanks for your help in advance/hope.

You should go to 'NUTS' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57285). It's being held in Newcastle this month. It's a street/trials ride so would probably give you an idea of what to be trying out. Sounds like you are already pretty good. especially, hopping and riding all within just 3 days. also, welcome to the forum! Amanda
