  1. I would like to give the uni a try.

    All the FAQs suggest that the best way to learn is with help
    from others for balance, etc.

    It will be pretty hard for me to find that in my
    remote area.

    My question:

    Is it possible to (or likely) that I could learn all
    by myself?

    What would be a suggested method?

    Thanks. New to Uni BFE, Texas
    🙂

  2. I had absolutely no help what so ever, internet,
    others, nothing.

    It only took 10 hours, but with all the help that is
    available, it'll probably take you even less.

    Simple trial and error, you soon to realize why you fell
    off, if not neccassarily how to prevent it. But it all comes
    together nicely.

    Give yourself about an hour or so each time, enough to get
    on a roll, but not really enough time to become frustrated.

    Try to learn without the assistance of leaning on anything,
    you will become a much better rider much faster than if you
    lean on something to get you going.

    Keep at it, and post back here with your progress, or to ask
    any specific advice.

    We've all been there!

    Sure it is possible, it just takes a little longer. See
    <www.xs4all.nl/~klaasbil/agelearn_short.htm>.

    See my tips for beginners (that were put online just
    yesterday) at <www.xs4all.nl/~klaasbil/uni_beginners.htm>.
    It includes a link to the Word document that Andrew Carter
    mentioned.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of uni!

    I have a feeling you might need two points of contact with
    the ground for such a thing to work? Or at least training
    wheels on the front and rear. - John Foss commenting on a
    picture of a one-wheeled vehicle he saw on RSU.

  4. I also learned 110% on my own...... Just try it for a good
    15 hours and the next thing you know you'll be riding.....
