Nice! I used to think of trail riding as freemounting
practice -- ride 2 feet, fall off, spend 20 minutes trying
to remount; repeat until exhausted.

U-Turn is right in general (3 revolutions) but I have to add
that for level 1, the "freemount, ride 50 m and dismount
gracefully with the unicycle in front" is as a combination
regarded as one skill, so if you fall or step off before
having ridden 50 m it does not count for level 1.
But from what you say, digigal1, you are definitely
getting there!

VERY envious, just watched the matrix again today. you
should be able to just download the skills then i would look
cool riding my uni, plus i could get down my road twice as
fast and have an excuse for some new trainers. oh well look
like itll have to be good 'ol practice.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

you say that now, but i promise you the second you learn how
it will be replaced by a new, greater ambition. kinda the
same way there can be no uni to make you happy and never
want another.

When does a freemount count? I mount with wall assistance
and I can't ride more than a few feet anyway. Last night I
thought I'd try to freemount for the hell of it, as I was
getting tired of my regular practice routine. I completed
the action of freemounting, and a heartbeat later I was
holding the wall. So I got up onto the seat, but couldn't
ride away before swaying sideways.

A typical indication of success in a specific skill is the
ability to ride away at least 3 revs and dismount in
control. So keep trying, digigal, you'll be there soon!
