Young new rider learns fast

There seem to be a lot of people like that out there. A freind of mine
learned in maybe 2-3 days. I thought that was good. He has a uni now,
too. Another convert! There are now 8 people who can ride in my town,
when there were maybe 0 before we started!

I think it depends on how active the person is before they start
unicycling. a lot of my friends who are now unicyclists rode bikes a lot
before, and they learned quickly, as in a few days. But I barely ever
ride bikes, now or before I learned to uni, and it took me weeks before
I could ride well.
and skaters learn fast too. I think you need a good sense of balance to
be able to skateboard well.

A while back a random mountain biker stopped by at our juggling club and
asked if he could try to unicycle as he had seen me on the trail a few
times and was interested. I showed him the normal way we teach beginers
and he just laughted and started to try to free mount on his own with
horrible failure. He frantically continued and with a few tips was able
to freemount a little while later but then was only able to get a few
inches of riding. This guy keept pushing himself to get it and in under
15 min he was freemounting and riding 500 feet unassisted. In another
half hour of pratice he was already better than some people in the club
who had been riding for 3 months.

Some people just are amazing learners.

I met a BMX biker who wanted to try my uni. He freemounted successfully
on the second try, and made it about 20'. Then he used a pole and did a
figbure eight. Within 15 minutes he was making it down curbs. All of
this was done on my ONza with mad low air pressure and a very short
seat.

my friend wanted to learn to uni so i went over yesterday with my old
uni. He had the free-mount down within minutes and was going about 10
meters, i couldn't believe it he did what took my a week in about 10
min.
then we went out on to the road for some more practise and he free
mounted and went all the way around a roundabout.

after 5 hours he is now level 3, that took me like a month, he will
probably become better then me soon but i don't care

My mate learnt in a couple of days, and learnt by doing a running mount
which certainly takes some guts. It also resulted in him getting a fair
few cuts on his legs from my metal pedals!

Having some to 'show' you is a big factor.

I learned on my own, in about 2 weeks I was going up and down a high
grade hill I lived on.

When I was in college, the gurls tutored did rather well.
