Brought back memories. Back in the 1970s I was a very good unicycle rider. Lived in Miami, where it is flat. I rode that thing everywhere and was easily recognized. Taught some people and had several good tricks. Best that I recall was travelling 1/2 mile using just one foot on a pedal. You are getting it back quickly. Keep it up!!

@timothyw8883 3 жыл бұрын

I have been unicycling for a couple of years now...both forwards, backwards and idling; I love it...and it is really GREAT exercise for the leg muscles since it is all leg power (no chain like on bicycles) driving the wheel. Once you get more comfortable with it you will find that more of your weight will be on the seat of the unicycle and not on the pedals...thus, your legs won’t get so tired. Anyway, love your juggling videos and your enthusiasm!!

I learnt unyciling when I was 50 years old, but I'm only able to go forward for 100 meters or so. I'm now 55 and I haven't practice in 4 years. After watching you I think I'll try again. You're so courageous! 😍😍 Thanks for all your videos and for sharing your skills.

It's way easier to get on it by holding onto something sturdy like a tree or lamppost. Tbh I'm surprised she went straight into free-mounting after not unicycling for so long. I learned to ride a unicycle (forwards) around the same time she did, and I've only successfully free-mounted once or twice.

@greyhnd001 3 жыл бұрын

Yea when you start you should use a wall or car or bar or something else. I started in a tennis court. That made it so much easier. I can now just launch without anything and ride for a bit. I do need to work on my endurance.

@bigcitybuslines3872 2 жыл бұрын

This is my third year of unicycling and I've noticed, from trying to go as slow as possible, that I can let the pedal push itself around, from like 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock, and it takes less energy. I believe this would also the case for highwheels. So, now I should go and try to unicycling backwards. "It sounds so scary", for three years.

@@TaylorTries juggling on a unicycle isn't actually that hard and i think you dont even need to practice. When after i learned to ride the unicycle i almost directly could juggle on it. The main question is if your balance is good enough already. If it is you will pass it with ease. If it isn't it could become difficult maybe.

Giraffe unicycles are fun, but they're hard to mount, and once you're up, they don't feel significantly different from a regular unicycle... a unicycle with a giant wheel -- 36" or larger -- those I find a lot more fun. It's like free-mounting a three speed bike in high gear. You do have to be careful, however, because it's possible to ride faster than you can run, which makes falling off the unicycle significantly more hazardous.

You're making a really dramatic transition between forwards and backwards, throwing your unicycle way in front of you. That's why you're getting too much backwards momentum too quickly. Try slowing that down. Or start against a wall or pole and gently push yourself backwards. Lastly, try not to hunch forwards. It took me over a month of short daily practice to consistently get several backwards revolutions, but the hardest part was getting the first two.
