It depends really, do you want to do street, trials, freestyle or muni?
That can influence what you learn next a lot, with trials it would be
hopping higher, and further. Freestyle and street would probably be
basic tricks, and muni would be going fast down hills and technical
stuff.

A lot of people start with things like wheel walking and 1 foot riding.
Theres also the 'IUF skill levels'
(http://www.unicycling.org/IUF/levels/) which puts tricks into levels
and you work your way up to level 10.

Learn whatever you want.

Seriously. Check the video section here and start wtching them so you
can get a good feel of what is involved for each style of riding, and
just start learning whatever you want.

Like, for me, im minaly a trials rider, so SI and SIF are what I work
on a lot, gaps, going up ledges, riding on skinnys, handleing drops,
but I also like street and learned how to do crankflips and unispins. I
also like freestyle stuff so thts why I learned how to do basic
freestyle moves like wheel walking.

Just keep riding and try out everything.

Welcome:)

For newbs:
SI=Seat In
SIF = Seat In Front

Watch some vids, work on the IUF and Street skills (in my signature).

I'd start w/ tight figure 8's, static mount, riding backwards, riding
w/ one foot (both sides), and hopping up stairs.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
