Any of you beginers that have never been to a unicycle event may be
interestede in the folowing report.
First thing THANK YOU GUS AND SUE for all the help.
I walked in the door and there were all these unis with big comfortable
seats. I was promptly advised as to what kind of seat I should get to
replace my little torker seat and a higher post to suit my size. I was
realy riding low.
I went there to see how to freemount. There are many ways. The
simplest, I will soon learn. The other extreme; One guy would walk up,
step over the cycle, laying on the floor, with one foot, give the crank
a kick and up- come the uni and he rode off.
They went forward, backward and sideways. Yess; hopped sideways.
Let the seat part fall and rode off on the wheel with the seat draging
behind. Then, without stoping, picked up the seat and rode normal.
They rode using their feet on the wheel, hands on the wheel, standing on
the fork, on one pedal only , etc. Things, if I had not seen, I would
not have imagined.
Everybody was friendly and gave me many tips, help, and advice.
Thanks to all of you. Now I am ready to go practice.
I had a throughly enjoyable visit. Any of you have not been to such a
get together should go at the first oportunity.
