Hop direction and which hand you hold the seat with is all personal preference, but you should always hop the opposite direction from the hand you hold the seat with. ITMS easier just to switch hands than it is to switch directions though. Getting to tire is all about commitment. Start with something small, and work your way up. I started by static pallets up that way I could control the height.

@MrButler8up ront foot but either way is fine it's all about what feels better. Learn both ways and it will make you a much better rider.

@MrButler8up it's all personal preference and depends on which side you hop to. I personally hop to my left with my left foot back and my right hand holding the seat. This is a good stance but is less stable for accurate pedal grabs when jumping. If I was to switch my stance and hop to my right with my right foot forward and my left hand holding the seat I could pedal grab a little easier since I wouldn't have to swing up and back to get onto something. So generally it's better to hop to your f

@mrheidema if you're looking into getting into trials then get a 19" trials unicycle, if you're just wanting to do a lot of tricks get a 20" unicycle. You'll be able to find either kind by looking for a 20" unicycle but just an fyi a trials unicycle is actually a 19" wheel.

@LinusUnicycle the only way to fix the problem you have is to start on things that you aren't afraid of jumping up. Then slowly as you get really good at those you go to something a little higher and eventually you won't be afraid. It also helps to remember that you will almost always land on your feet.
