One small step, for some, perhaps.

Congratulations!!!

Your first ride on a giraffe feels so amazing, like your just floating
effortlessly along. They are great fun to ride, and a great attention
grabber.

My first time riding a giraffe was in a friends front yard. Lots of
bumps kept me from getting too far, but on my 3 or 4th try I got past
the bumps and kept going, it felt so great! Then, when my friend tried
it, he got up, then spun around and hugged a giant bush so he wouldn't
fall, good times.

Keep up the great riding and progression.

Thas awsome Blake! I bet Bear was really proud!😄

Thanks Jerrick and Trials uni.

I'm afraid that Bear's a bit jaded. He's not so easily impressed with
mom any more. 🙄 He sets the bar pretty high.

Maybe you should lay him on the side walk and do the "body trials" thing
that Yoggi does in the Koxx One videos...That'll either scare the
daylights out of him or make himvery proud of his mommy.

Last summer I learned how to do regular spins on my 20" freestyle.

Over the winter I kind of lost the spins skill. So I was working on
them today. To my elation, I actually did a couple nice ones: 3-4
revolutions and did them successfully to the left (my more confident
turning direction) and one to the right. Bear responded in a bored
tone, "Come on, Mom. You can do better."

Aaargh. Then he proceded to the picnic table with his unicycle and
expected to be able to do the trials routine that ObieOne one had been
doing! He can tell Kevin is pretty cool. :p Bear wasn't happy when I
said no.

As a compromise, I promised him I would make him a mini trials set up
with a ramp and something he can ride along and hop onto/off of. I'll
post pics when it is done.

few more months i guess😄

In a few months...:p

He's a kid that really needs to find and follow his bliss (I think
that's a Robert Bly or a Joeseph Campbell usage of the term -bliss-).
If that's unicycling it'd be great. He's a complex little guy and I am
certain to be full of suprises with him!

I think I'll be a better rider for having him around, for sure!
