Someone on another thread mentioned that they can't wait for summer and that brought the following to my mind. It's midsummer where I am and I'm still no good, but at least I have enough daylight to find dry level parking lots on which to practice. But winter in the great northeast comes early and hits hard. In addition to the abundant snowfall, the sun doesn't rise until I'm on the way to work and goes down before I get home. I thought I could uni during lunch break once the winter comes, but I tried that today on a whim, and it took me an hour from start to finish (what with applying all my padding, walking out to the parking lot, unpadding myself afterwards, walking back to work...) I only get a half-hour for lunch; I can't do that all winter long. My basement is way too small to uni in. Am I doomed to 5 - 6 months of unicycling only on weekends? Do school administrators allow people to uni in their gymnasiums after hours? Should I sneak into the mall and risk arrest?? HELP!!
It's amzing how much you can learn in a driveway 20 feet long covered in snow. I get an hour for lunch, so I can uni around our parking lot. Even just riding weekends you can improve lots. I don't know about the gyms, but I'm guessing you'd have to use a tire that is non-skid-marking... I assume freestyle tires would be nonskid, but I dunno for sure... My campus gym isn't even happy about black souled sneakers 🙁 Don't worry about winter, it's very doable 🙂

Never kick a unicyclist in the groin... it will only make them grow stronger...
