Learning to unicycle is very fun. Mostly though, I just posted to say those shorts kickass. LOOK at those things! 🙂 Also, I think there's some tips on turning at the tips and tutorials site of that one guys.... anybody got a link? I don't know it off the top of my head.
can anyone tell me how to go around turns without flailing my arms, or does it just take practise?
Mostly it just takes practice. Not only practice turning, but also practice riding without flailing arms helps. For practice, you could try holding a ball with both hands.

3rd of all, nice singing in the background of the video.
4th of all, try practicing riding with your hands clasped behind your back (once you get good enough). it will really smooth out your riding once you get used to turning without your arms

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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tennisgh22's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5771 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/33141
Great to see other rock climbers jumping on board here. I've been trying to encourage the climbing crowd to try the one-wheel thing but have had few takers so far.
Just keep that wheel going and everything will work out in time. If you can practice an hour a day you'll have the basics licked in no time.
You might tie your shoes and tuck the lace ends under the laces so you don't get road rash on your face. It never happened to me, although you could never tell by looking, but I found out about the possibility about a year into riding.
Turns: just gradually try to go around smaller diameter circles. Start huge, even just arcs in the street, weaving to the right and left. I wouldn't worry too much about it at the moment, distance is more important. Try to find a track to go around, or some long flat stretch of sidewalk where you can get up to a few miles a day. Maybe more important than circles is just the sharp 90.
