-ummm can juggle 3 and 4 balls
-learning to ride sif

I found unicyclist forums by, well heres how lol...

after it had months before i got back into unicycling I was searching
for stuff about uniccyling randomly oneday and found the iuf skill
levels then click that then whent into a list of mounts. i was
surpirsed how many there were which lead me to watching youtube videos
and finding out what type of unicycling stuff there is. then i just
came across unicycling forums and thought that would be pretty
interesting. and i love this site the most!

Introduce ourselves here, on this thread? Or is there some better
spot?

Anyway, I'm Stephen. I'm a 47-year-old engineer in the Dallas area. I
got a Torker LX 20" the day after Thanksgiving and have been slowly but
surely learning to ride it. Basically, I can ride around, but still
working on free-mounting, and just started trying to idle. I have no
desire to go down stairs or jump off picnic tables with the thing. I
probably spend 2 or 3 hours a week riding or practicing. I have yet to
make it around the block without falling off, but I'm not too far from
it, either. I've got a cruiser-type bike and I've been putting some
miles on that thing as well.

Meanwhile, my 20-year-old son Mark is also learning to ride on the same
unicycle. He's better at it than I am- maybe because he's lighter,
younger, and has spent more time on it.

And we just got a CX in a few days ago for my daughter Sarah. (The LX
is too tall for her). So give her a few months and maybe she'll be
riding around too. Not too likely that we'll ever get my wife on one,
though.

Thanks for using my thread🙂
Good to start seeing some stories of peoples skill levels etc. So how
long ago did you start riding? You seem like your not a bad rider!

Yep, on here is the place😉
When i started i never thought of doing stairs or anything apart from
learning to ride, as even that was a challenge at first!
After reading on here and looking on youtube i became interested in
doing extra things... i dont reckon it'll be long before you want to
either!!!
Keep at it😉

I might as well post a thread here too.

I own 4 unicycles
KH 20
a 36er
torker lx
a giraffe (torker tx)

I can

jump up maybe two and a half feet si
rolling hop up a 3 set
rolling hop down a 5 set
side hop up a 3 set
wheel walk 4 revs
180 unispin
almost 360 unispin
ride sif
ride one footed
rolling 180 unispin
crank grab
drop off high stuff etc.

Anyways enough boasting about stuff

I'm not really newbie in the sense that i have unicycled for 1 year now
and I would casually read the forums every once in a while, but never
really felt a need to join the forum until 2 months ago.

Yeehah! Made it around the block this afternoon! Without falling off,
that is.

Sounds simple enough, but there's some uphill, some downhill, some bad
parts of the sidewalk, etc- nothing y'all wouldn't zip right over, but
an accomplishment for me!
