Unicycle Noob Help

I learned in probably less than 6 hours of actually trying to ride,
within one day.

Learned to ride a BC Wheel in about 15 minutes.

If you're determined, you'll pick it up fairly quickly.

I could ride across a small basketball court after 2 or 3 hours of
trying on a 20" wheel. The more determined you are the quicker you
will learn.

A good idea is to find a fence with two gates some distance apart that
you can keep riding around.

What I did was ride around this fence as fast as I could (fairly slow)
till I learned how to pedal the unicycle, then I started to let go and
ride on my own. Eventually I rode around in a big open space to learn
how to turn.

I rode within 2-3 hours but that was 100% determination and commitment.
More you put in, the more you get out.

1) Put all your weight on the seat. Try to keep your legs relaxed and
weight off the pedals.
2) Adjust the seatpost such that your leg is slightly bent when the
pedal is at the bottom of its travel.
3) Find a flat smooth surface to practice on like a gymnasium or vinyl
floor. Concrete and asphalt are harder to ride on for a beginner.
4) It will feel impossible for what seems a long time, but keep trying.
Figure on at least 1-2 weeks before you start making significant
progress.
5) Find somebody local who already rides to help teach you and give you
inspiration.

If you follow these steps, you stand an excellent chance of learning
how to ride.
