Ok so i said i was going to be learning to unicycle. I made some good progress today. It was my second "lesson." My first lesson was sort of a refresher of what i did a year ago when i got the uni. I took 45 minutes and just jacked around on it. That was thursday, the 25th, i think. Today though, i took merely 30 minutes and got much farther. I think it was a beer that helped. I was less tense that way. I did about 3 full revolutions a few times, and i got the "feel" of riding independent. In no way consistently, but i know what it feels like. Most of the time i was going 1-2 revolutions at a time, falling off every 1/3 of the way down the tennis court. I called it done when i made it all the way down the tennis court without falling. Slowly, choppy-like, and not yet comfortably, but it is progress. I can FEEL it in my legs and core, so that's enough for me. I LOVE IT.
oh... i lowered my seat, all the way. i may try chopping the post down and dropping it a bit more, just to get an idea how it feels. But yeah, it helped tremendously. I will be getting video of myself sometime soon just cuz. I'm also noticing where my feet like to be, and that my pants and shoes are causing issues. I'll wear shorts and a different pair of shoes next time, which is probably tomorrow after work again. Weather permitting.
