    Hey there everybody,

    I have just bought my first unicycle ( a 24" from eBay, don't know the
    brand) and started teaching myself (at the ripe age of 25) yesterday.
    It was an impulse buy, which I don't care about, becuase as a learner,
    the prospect of trashing a more expensive one is not favourable😄 .

    I have read this site avidly for a few weeks now, and really feel like
    this is the kind of sport that I would fit right into, crazy enough for
    the norm, but normal enough for the crazies!!

    I think that once I have sort of mastered riding without slamming into
    the wall, I might start saving for a good unicycle.

    Thanks for listening,

    Al.

    Very cool!!!
    As far as I can gather their are some wicked things happening in regards
    to unicyling in brisbane area. They held a muni weekend only a few
    weeks ago and there is a couple of serious riders (check out
    www.unicycles.com.au, it is based in brisbane)
    Invest in a good unicycle at some stage but work out what you want it
    for first (freestyle, muni etc)

    This is true, we've formed a great little group in the last couple of
    years and now we regularly go for group rides. We do lots of muni on Mt
    Cootha. You should move to Brisbane Liz, join in the fun. 🙂 Mark, a
    really good mountain and trials unicyclist from Bathurst, is moving to
    Brisbane too! It's all happening.

    Al, you should come out for a muni ride with us soon, it's easier than
    you might think, even for beginners. You'll soon realise how lucky we
    are to have Mt Cootha so close.
