  1. Hi,

    I have been Muniing about 5 months now. I have been doing 5k to 10k
    cross country rides on rocky mountain and farm trails at least twice a
    week. Now I am working on learning how to ride backwards and off the
    seat so that I can get some crouch and height when I jump. I am no
    Kris Holm or Dan Heaton but am a pretty decent coordinated rider.

    Recenty (the past week) I have been twisting my torso, bringing my left
    shoulder way forward while riding in order to keep going in a strait
    line. Everything looks ok on both of my munis Kris Holm 29 and Onza 24.
    this happens while I ride on both Unicycles. So I know that it is not a
    seat that is not on strait or some other broblem with a muni. It is
    quite anoying because I used to cuise along in a very relaxed strait
    posture and now I am always struggling to go strait. This has had no
    effect on my riding capabilities I am still jumping over bigger rocks
    and turning better every day. It is just anoying because it does not
    let me ride in a relaxed way when there are no obstacles.

    Has anyone else experienced such a problem? Does anyone know what could
    be causing this recently developed need to twist my torso while
    riding?

    I appreciate everyones help.

  2. I also had the same problem. I think my seat was a bit misaligned. After
    I aligned it very precisely I still had the same problem, so I just
    tried to bring my other shoulder out. After a while it disappeared, I
    think. Now I can ride pretty relaxed most of the time.
