hi you seem to no alot about unicycling! i got 1 for xmas and i can go forwards but were do i go from here? where do i start to learn to go backwards? and staying in the same place like entertainers do?
After i got a good grasp on riding forward i started practicing on idling. This helps train your mind to take a half pedal backwards. From there i just would hold on to the back of my car and give it a try. At first it will seem like your making no progress, but you'll learn it much faster than you did going forward. At least i did. As far as standing still like the entertainers it just takes practice practice practice. Get your feet in a position that feels comfortable and just stick with it.
