    I have had some limited success in learning to ride, but would benefit
    greatly from a few days of coaching. I have not been successful at
    finding anybody close to me (South of Seattle about 15 miles) who can
    ride, let alone who can help me learn! If you know of somebody, please
    let me know (some compensation would be available). I also need a bit
    of help freemounting - I have not had any success with that. It would
    be nice to accomplish both before the rainy season sets in.

    What does limited success mean? How long have you been trying? Have you
    searched the fora here for tips on learning to ride? I don't know how
    beneficial coaching would be.

    Remember to keep all of your weight on the seat, not the pedals. Repeat
    that to yourself every time you get on. Look into the distance, not at
    the tire. Pedal in round, smooth strokes. Breathe and relax. Try to
    stay on until you fall, not until you chicken out. This will help you
    learn to make corrections.

    We have a group that rides in Seattle. Let us know if you want to get
    on the mailing list. If we have a trials ride we will stay in one place
    and several folks can coach you. There are also two, large local clubs,
    'The Uniques' (http://www.uniquesunicycleclub.org/) in Lynnwood and
    'Panther Pride' (http://www.nbeschool.com/unicycle/) in North Bend.
    Attending a couple of their meetings might be instructional.

    Yea the e-mail group is good.

    I live in the Downtown area of seattle, I've got a few unicycles. I'm
    totally down with teaching people how to ride. I find that the thing
    that works the best with the various techniques I've used in teaching
    others is a tennis court. Nice flat surface and a chain link fence.

    Feel free to get ahold of me via the e-mail group or contact my
    e-mail.

    [email hidden]

    I'm as well on myspace under same name,

    Even better when it starts resulting in some successful riding
    arrangements...makes all the chatter traffic worthwhile. We've been in
    a bit of a dry spell lately, which hopefully will change this weekend
    with a large and well-balanced turnout for the International Harper Day
    festivities.
