    IMO progress is faster if you ride along a railing, fence, or wall, and
    grabbing on as nessesary, until you can ride the full length. It's
    faster than remounting and continuing to ride. Also I think it's more
    efficient to learn how to basically ride before learning to freemount
    (hard to believe there are no objects to use w/ an assisted mount where
    a learner lives).

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

    Street skills:
    http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Unicyclopedia/Street
    also links for freestyle and trials

    http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/levels/http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/levels/
    click on an underlined skill for a description.

    Just a general guidline. Some things are easier for some people than
    others, for example I can ride a bit seat in front (SIF), seat in back
    (SIB), and backwards, but I can't freemount. The type of riding you
    want to do will also effect what you want to spend your time
    practicing.

  5. Jump mount - it's much easier than it looks, and it looks pretty cool.
