  1. I just started unicylcing a lil over a week ago. When I first started Id
    just get in between 2 cars and get myslef on the unicycle, then justlet
    go of the cars and see how far I could go. I'd be able to stay on for
    about half a second. I eventually, throughout the next 2 days worked
    that up to being able to go 30 feet 1/10 times, then worked that to
    10/10 times. And one time I went 70 feet. But, the last couple days,
    I've been doing horrible. I can go maybe 3 feet, and either fall
    forward(this is right before i start going forward uncontrollably fast)
    or just unconrollably turn to the side and then fall off to the side.
    now this makes me extremely angry. I have no idea what the problem is.
    I just walk away from it for a while, and then come back with a clear
    head, not angry, and tell myself, I know i can do this, I mean, I
    already have. But after 20 tries I keep falling right back off after 3
    feet which leaves me violently mad, ready to throw my unicycle as far
    as I can. I know getting frustrated obviously doesn't help, but I can't
    help myself. I know i've already been able to go 70 feet, and falling
    after 3 feets inevitably leaves me [censored]. It's starting to make me
    think that I just can't unicycle, and I really wouldn't like that
    because the time I was improving was very fun, enjoyable and addictive.

    I know a week isn't long, but it has been over 15 hours of practice. I
    want to eventually be able to get a 36 inch one and ride all over town,
    and get a mountain unicycle. But, If i keep getting discouraged and
    frustrated, I know that won't happen.

    So...what exactly could my problem be?
