Progress and questions!
Hi,
This sport is great! Everyday, new (usually tiny) progress, but unfortunetely no one around to share the enthousiasm... Well, if you care, here is a little progress report. My goal for this summer we -Being confortable riding long distance: Aside for saddle soreness, I would say this is achieved. I need a Coker! Question: my work is about 5-7 miles away with a large hill, all in city traffic. Is it realistic to think about commuting on a unicycle? -Better mounting: I can now mount 4 different ways, all on same side. Other side feels just like I never did this at all. Side note, even though I am becoming quite solid, succes rate is probably still well below 50% and also often result in 90deg turns. -Up and down curbs: down is no problem. Up is another story. I am trying the non hopping method, sofar without success. -Hopping: After getting the UNiVeRSe video, I was convinced about the usefulness of hopping. Well, tonight I realised I was able to do it for several seconds, without prior practice! This was absolutely unexpected and I am still in shock. -Idling: Several months of complete, absolute inability to even start to practice this skill. Somehow, last week I managed to do one backward "step" and continue forward, kind of by chance, while I was not thinking about it too much. Tonight, I can do this consistently and even managed up to 3 or 4 "rocking". Future looks bright from here. One trick I found is that it is more efficient to practice this directly from the mount. That's about it. This is turning into an obsession... If things continue this way, I might have to find some new goals soon... Jocelyn |
