  1. I only began unicycling on Wed, but now that I can sometimes free mount
    and ride 50ft without falling. I want to learn how to turn the proper
    way. I have gone in circles in my driveway that is about 20ft x 20ft
    and I usually sway back and forth lots when turning I also flail my
    arms to try and swing that way.

    Please help a nOOb

  3. Post questions here..Its the best chance you got of getting a good
    answer. To turn you have to learn to lean into the turn and point your
    body in the direction you want to go.

    Check www.unicycletips.com for tips on learning to ride and all the
    steps along the way tis a great site.

  4. I think when you're starting out, pretty much the only way to turn is
    through some serious arm-flailage. With time however, that generally
    corrects itself.

    Eventually, turning comes by just rotating the body and leaning the
    wheel in towards the center (centre) of the circle you want to
    describe.
