  1. 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.

    😄

  2. Even after being a TCUC member for a couple of years now I
    am still in awe of what a lot of these people can do. I
    suspect some of them to really be genetically engineered
    unicycling organisms who escaped from some secret government
    project. Jumping onto a unicycle without PICKING IT UP FIRST
    just seems kind of... I don't know... unrealistic, for
    normal humans.

    You didn't see me doing any of that, though. The basic
    rollback mount is the only one that I can do reliably. I
    fell off going over a teetertotter Saturday afternoon and
    bruised/sprained/twisted/abraded a number of my moving
    parts, so I was done riding after that.
