I really want to teach my younger brother how to unicycle. Even thinking about buying him a small unicycle for his birthday. (which would means I wouldn't be able to buy a decent trials uni for myself for quite some time) But my mom is totally against it. It was hard to even convince her to let me buy a unicycle for myself. My brother is 6 going to be 7, in my thinking, the earlier the better. Because of his head start he'll be awesome by the time he's my age and hooked for life. Plus I'll have somebody to ride with. 😄
What do you think is a good age for me to start teaching him to ride?

I think that is a pretty good age to start. My youngest student, Oliver, was 5 years old and he got a 12" for his 6th birthday and can ride it with the seat all the way down. I teach heaps of 7 year olds how to ride on 16" unicycles. It's awesome to be able to ride with and share your skills with your brother- my little brother has been riding since not long after I started in 1996.
My mom said that I can teach him! 😄 He said he wants to learn, hopefully he really enjoys it. Can't wait to buy him a uni for his birthday! 😄 Thanks for your comments
I would ask him if he wants to ride and if he does, get him a cheap Ebay uni and see how he goes that way he might not like it and its not going to scar your wallet.
