  1. Well, not really. According to the International Unicycle Federation
    rules you have to be certified by one of thier people, so I'm not
    -officialy- a level one rider, but I consider myself one.
    I have just mastered standered mounting, and it's pretty cool to start
    without having to hold onto anything. the fifty meters was a challenge.
    Since I'm not up on the metric system, I converted fifty meters into
    feet, and it turned out to be 164 point somthing. I began looking for
    places to mesure my distance, and I mesure a sidewalk block. they
    turned out to be 4 feet each. 164 divided by 4 equals 41. so I had to
    ride aproximatly 41 sidewalk blocks. It took me a couple of tries, but
    I finally got it! it feels so good! dismounting gracefully with the uni
    in front of me is a little hard, since I seem to grabe the seat from
    the back (it's a cheap uni; it doesn't have handles) so I'm not sure if
    it's what you would call gracefull, but it's not exactly ungracefull!😄
    😄
    It's so cool to be able to ride a unicycle!!😄 😎

    Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

    It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
    your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
    doubt.

  2. Congratulations! Now you need to learn to mount with either foot, and
    turn. (if I remember right)

    I believe that buildering should be legal as long as I'm not falling on
    anybody. 🙂

  4. Well, once in awhile I can mount with the other foot, and I can sort of
    turn. Imagine a zigzagging line, going in a strait line. then the
    zigzagging line gradualy turns while still zigzagging.😄 How I turn, I
    don't know, but I can! sort of. But I think I have to do a figure eight
    or something for level 2.
    Now I have a rash on my legs; I need boxer breifs!😄 😄

    There's the snag. It's not enough if you can sometimes do each of the
    three (mount, ride, dismount). The standard mount, riding 50 m and
    graceful dismount all have to be done in one go. You are allowed three
    tries to have them all in one go.

  6. Congrats!! It's such a great feeling once you really 'get it.' My first
    50 meter ride is one that I'll never forget.😄 😄
