Today I borrowed a Torker 24'' from a friend, brand new. I rode on it
for about 3 hours and can now go about 6 ft. Is that pretty good for 3
hours of learning?

Yes, IMHO.
Took me that long to be able to get on and pedal slightly and
immediately fall forward.

sounds about right. unicycling is a very fair sport in that you get out
of it exactly what you put into it. if you practice another 10 hours, i
can personally guarantee that you will be able to go 500 feet without
stopping. if you practice another 10 hours after that on going
backwards, i can guarantee you will be able to go backwards for a
reasonable distance. this is part of the reason why i like unicycling.
tell us when u get past the magic 15 foot barrier. you'll get further
and further and further up until 15 or 20 feet when suddenly you'll have
a breakthrough and go 50 or 60!!
keep us updated
