>The fastest way I have ever seen people learn to ride a unicycle
>is the "2 Step Crash Course":
* STEP on one pedal
* STEP on the other pedal
* CRASH
* Repeat until convinced that it's not as easy as it looks.
Honestly, this is the procedure executed by every guy I ride past
on the street, who has to show his girlfriend/fellow frat boys that
"Hey, I can do that! You, mr., uh, tricycle guy, c'mere!"
>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).
Also remember: for the first 50 or so times you do this,
step on one pedal, step OVER the second pedal, and don't let yer butt
touch the seat. This teaches you to keep that second foot high enough
that you don't trip on the second pedal. It also teaches you not to
nestle yourself into the seat until you're safe from getting your
male anatomical unit squished (provided you have one).
This is the ego-building step, BTW. Once you start grabbing
the seat instinctively when you fall, it's no longer a fall - it's a
"dismount". You have to lose your balance pretty awkwardly to clue
to passers-by that you are falling instead of purposefully dismounting.
Thus, you don't have to worry about the whole world watching you screw
up as you learn.
>Happy landings...
