Fix These 5 Common Issues When Learning to Unicycle in 5 Minutes - How to Unicycle

[@leopardmuni]

Always amazed by the way you explain. It’s so easy to understand. I wish I had known this channel when I just started unicycling. Two thumbs up, man! Keep it up.

You’re the man Leopard! ❤️❤️❤️

[@GrillChefSteve]

Very helpful, thanks man! 😀 also, it seems you have tons of cool tricks to do at parties

[@HoboDan]

Thank you! I do like to do tricks but no one typically cares to watch haha

2:53 Not push "down". Shift/slide the pedal forwards. Not too much. Just to 1 o'clock, and keep negative pressure on the down foot (now at 7 o'clock). Then 2'oclock....so on and so forth. Got it. It's not about cranking down on the pedal to make it go forwards. It will go forwards just by slowly rotating the pedals. Speed does not equal balance. It's about slow controlled "turning" of the wheel shaft, and keep back/negative pressure to "not speed up". Later when you get advanced and try idling or backwards riding, you will understand. Again, you don't "pump/press down" this is not a bicycle. Keep on.

Maybe one day I'll try idling...

Ive had interest in EUC recently, but have heard even for those who've had very good experience with skateboarding & scooters it still requires a bunch of weeks to get the skill on a EUC (Electric Unicycle).And in that it dissuades most from continuing the process. Id imagne though learning to ride a manual unicycle would not only translate to EUC, but make EUC easy in comparison. Do you have experience in both, and is this true?

[@HoboDan]

Hey Jason! I unfortunately do not have experience with electric unicycles (although with any luck I’ll purchase one sometime). I can imagine there is *some* translation between manual unicycles and electric but the best way to learn a new skill is to learn that new skill (as obvious as it sounds 🤣). If you spent some time learning something in the hopes that it’ll translate to an electric unicycle, any skill that you tried would be less optimal than just learning the electric unicycle. Even though different balance devices may be harder to learn than others, they all deserve some sort of devoted adjustment time. So even if manuals unicycles were harder and electric would be easy in comparison, I’d probably still recommend taking your time and picking up the nuances of an electric unicycle for a good amount of time before going all in - which I think you’d do anyway. All this coming from someone who doesn’t have experience with electric but I do have over a decade of teaching people skills like this so I’ll take my recommendations with a healthy grain of salt. Let me know your thoughts! Either way I bet you can get the hang of it with devoted and intentional practice if you aren’t proficient in it already!

I practiced no handed wheelies on my mountainbike because i thought it might make riding a uni cycle easier!............NOPE! although i can ride one now and working on playing guitar whilst ridding

[@HoboDan]

Haha! That’s a fair thought! No handed wheelies are pretty dope though. Good for you. I would LOVE to see riding while playing guitar

@@HoboDan May take 6 months of practice!
