  1. im just wondering how long it took everyone to learn to ride, not
    anything special, but just able to keep balance and ride pretty much as
    far as they wnted without falling. it took me about a week or less, i
    dont know

  2. Took me about a week and a half to mount & ride for extended distances.
    That probably ended up being the usual 10-15ish hours that most people
    report.

    I think I could have gone faster if I was just focussing on riding and
    not freemounting at the same time.

  4. Well it took me 39 years to discover unicycling, then about 5 weeks
    after that.

    Or my other answer is - I'm still very much learning after a fantastic
    year.

  6. It took me one juggling club meet until I could ride across the gym
    and thats about 3 hours.
    Then I just kept at it, I was hopping in about a week.

  14. I took me 16 years till I could ride. Then I took a couple weeks to
    learn. I just realized that March 2006 marked my 30th anniversary as a
    rider!

    You can do two things there:

    1. Assess your unicycling talent in a fun way.
    2. Send your data to me to be included in the 'definitive' study.

    it would be interesting to extend the study further: how fast are you
    progressing? the problem is how to measure that...
    I ,for instance, have been rolling for over three years and I am still
    unable to jump over a small tree root that happens to cross my way 🙁
    I am a _super-slow_ learner!
