I just got my new torker lx (first unicycle) and I am starting to learn to ride it. I have already put in about one and a half hours on it and can swiftly mount from a fence and ride about 8 feet (without support) I will post every time I achive someting on this thread.
If you have any tips for begginners please post them🙂

IMO progress is faster if you ride along a railing, fence, or wall, and grabbing on as nessesary, until you can ride the full length. It's faster than remounting and continuing to ride. Also I think it's more efficient to learn how to basically ride before learning to freemount (hard to believe there are no objects to use w/ an assisted mount where a learner lives).

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the time do it along the way.

Just a general guidline. Some things are easier for some people than others, for example I can ride a bit seat in front (SIF), seat in back (SIB), and backwards, but I can't freemount. The type of riding you want to do will also effect what you want to spend your time practicing.
