Learning to Unicycle

I've been learning to unicycle for the last week, and I'm finally to the point where I don't need the stick I've been using to aid me! I've put in about 6 hours now. I started out using a shopping cart, then I used a walking stick in each hand as I rode, and now I'm only using the stick to steady me as I get on. Getting on the thing is the hardest part :) (I realize this video won't have general appeal, but I needed someplace to upload a video to link to my blog.)

Great job, but why are you practicing in that suburb?

[MathewC1]

Thanks. I practice in the suburbs, because I'm trying to impress the soccer moms :) Just kidding - I'm practicing out in front of my house :)

Man, thats a good idea to have a stick in each hand. I wish I would have thought of that when I started learning.
