Re: gliding

😕 na i don't think that's too cool, seems a bit intrusive to
have all his address and stuff there...

I can't glide (either) tho, seems fairly impossible to me but I'll
definitely be doin it relatively soon.

legitimate question i think, even from somebody who can glide verry
well.

learning how to do some skills is incredibly difficulkt and time
comsuming.
so teaching somebody how to do them becomes near impossible without a
realy concise description of how the trick works.

i'd love to hear everbodys thougfhts on how to learn gliding.
i can't realy glide, so it'd help me.

i'd like to hear about even simple stuff like how to free mount.
it makes me a better teacher if i can hear about otherpeoples teaching
methods.

Wait wait wait, I thought this was like from 1990, it's from 1999. You
telling me the best MUni and Trials rider in the world couldn't glide
only 5 years ago?

Five years ago is probably when he found out gliding existed. Remember
he never rode with other unicyclists until MUni Weekend 1998!

Yes, and since then we've learned not to put our address and email onto
public posts like these. Hopefully all that information is no longer
correct!

As long as no one quotes Kris' message from 1999 then his address and
contact info will not appear on R.S.U. on Usenet. The message is so old
that it will no longer be on any news servers.

So everyone be kind and don't quote Kris' contact info in any new posts.

Oh my god!! those "more than human people" from the discovery channel
have finally decided to take all the "super-humans" and clone them to
make a race of superior beings!!!

by the way, they also cloned me....cause they simply thought I was
amazing at stuff.....yeah.....stuff....

I'm learning how to glide too.....ride one footed with your foot on the
crown and apply some pressure to the tyre/tirethen remove your other
foot and glide away!...

(repeat this a bazillion times)

Oh, and make sure you stay straight.....

and it helps to make yourself comfortable without holding the handle
that way you can use two hands to balance...

I AM NOT A CLONE.

Gliding sure looks great. But with a job, and kids, a wife… I don’t
have time for a “bazillion practice sessions”. And, I’m over 40.

Any suggestions, or do I just dream of gliding (and coasting)?

I'm telling you, just take 15 minutes per day comming back from work to
chillax a little....as soon a syou start getting frustrated then just
call it a day.....

It's actually quite safe as long as your foot doesn't slip infront of
the moving pedal...you know what i mean right?😉
