The start of a new month brings another monthly challenge: learning to ride a unicycle.
This is by far the most difficult challenge of the year, I wasn't too confident of success, and after viewing various YouTube video clips I was even less so. Even the 'experts' look as though they will fall off at any minute. Unicycle was ordered from Amazon for the bargain price of £45.
The first 5 mins of the challenge didn't go very well with various heavy falls, including ankle and elbow injuries. I was actually having trouble even getting on the bloody thing. So back to YouTube for some advice, and thanks to 'Coach Bob' I found a successful way to get on the unicycle. After another 10 mins I had discovered how to avoid hitting the deck, even if it meant letting the unicycle go flying through the air.
So with a new found confidence AND 2 hours of practice I am happy to report some success. The video below may not actually show said success but I'm feeling a lot more confident that this challenge is actually possible.
Although the video doesn't show it I was able to complete around four full pedals before stacking it.
I'm actually quite looking forward to day 2!

You’re nuts! Loved it, more power to your elbow and indeed, other parts of your anatomy that need it!
Wowee! You’re getting good already…..! I’m impressed! X
You are getting good at it already…I loved watching the video 🙂 That last fall looked like it may have hurt just a little though 🙂
