  1. I never could have done it without you. I did 2 static freemounts in a
    row, and was able to ride the entire length of my driveway each time!
    (About 20 meters.) The only thing now keeping me from Level 1 is a
    longer space to ride in and dismounting gracefully with uni in front.

    You people (sniff) mean so much to me!! 😄

    i understand the inherent 'correctness' of KK's post
    i couldn't help but think that's he's wrong tho
    i suspect u become a unicyclist the first time u see a uni and u dont
    see a circus-prop
    the first time u think of a uni and u dont think 'that's impossible'
    the first time u see someone ride and u think 'that's kewl'
    that's when u become a unicyclist

    So technically speaking, you don't need to be able to ride to be a
    unicyclist?

    i wouldn't know
    i'm not very technical...

    but no, not really
    not in this zen kinda way i'm looking at this whole story now
    not learning to ride the unicycle that isn't there...
    😉

    u've met 'New Yorkers' that have never been close to New York?
    surfers that have never seen the ocean?
    poi swingers who can't even juggle?

    riding a unicycle is one thing
    being a unicyclist is something completely different

    it's a state of mind

    i think...

    You did it! Learning to ride can be hard work. Then fun really begins.

    Actually you're close to level 3 😉

  12. Congrats Digigal! You've just reached a very important plateau. Now
    you can practice anywhere you want, which means your skills should
    advance very rapidly now. We'll be waiting for you to make your
    "extreme" video... 😄
