HOWZITGOIN?
The fastest way I have ever seen people learn to ride a unicycle
is the "2 Step Crash Course":
STEP 1: Accept the fact that you will fall and learn how to do
it safely. Practice dismounting to your feet with the seat
caught by your hand (this keeps the seat from poking holes in
your feet and prolongs the life of the unicycle). It may help
to put a brick behind the wheel when you first try to mount
(get rid of the brick as soon as you can). Then purposely
dismount forward, backwards, and sideways each time catching the
seat as you step to the ground. If you know that you can
dismount without hurting yourself, you will have less fear about
actually riding.
STEP 2: Learn from your mistakes. Gravity does not lie, so
the direction you fall is the key information as to what you
need to correct. Which ever direction you fall, lean a little
more in the opposite direction next time (now don't ride until
you actually fall, remember to dismount as soon as you feel
yourself start to fall). This won't work if you are holding on
to a fence, people, poles, etc, you have to let go of everything
and just ride. By making the right corrections after each try,
you will be riding in no time at all.
Happy landings...
