How to Ride a Unicycle: Basics

it’s just like riding a bike except with
only one wheel hi I’m Rebecca Braden and
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning the basics of how to ride a
unicycle hi there this is my friend that
Hill is a bit and she’s gonna be trying
the unicycle for the first time and my
name is Benoit I’m gonna try to show how
the best unicycle to start with is the
20 inch unicycle because it’s a lot less
high so you’re gonna be a lot less
scared when you’re going to ride it and
it’s really stable so really the best
ways to go for a 20 inch unicycle
don’t forget the helmet and the
protection if you need first of all is
how you go on the unicycle so if you’re
riding you’re going to start with the
right pedal at the bottom you’re gonna
put yourself on the unicycle and put
your right foot on the right pedal so
don’t start with the right pedal up or
in front so really like at the bottom
leaning backward like this so like
you’ve seen I went backward or you could
have went forward to put both of my
pedals horizontal then your Olding the
fence or holding the wall let go of the
seat really put your hand like this or
like this and don’t old a seat because
if you oldest eed you’re going to tend
to just go forward it’s gonna put
momentum and you’re gonna fall
so really put your back straight look
forward put your hand like this and
you’ll be ready
so now we’re gonna try to get her on the
unicycle for the first time are you
ready you can do it alright so one of
your feet on the pedal the right feet
there you go and you’re gonna try to
push yourself over the unicycle not too
strongly there you’re perfect then
you’re gonna try to make a backward
rotation or forward rotation here you go
to have both of your perfect she’s good
back really straight you’re gonna look
for it and what I’m gonna do is I’m
gonna old your your arm and we’re gonna
try to go forward so if the person needs
he’ll the best way to old somebody and
teach them how to unicycle is to take
the elbow like this and the end like
this and really be firm so if the person
goes backward or fall forward you’re
gonna be really able to retain her from
falling are you ready
we’re gonna go one two three here you go
and hops you go
all right so now that you have practiced
how to mount on the unicycle I have to
feel comfortable and right a bit what
you should be trying at least 20 times
30 times really make sure you’re
comfortable it’s getting some speed and
momentum so like riding a bike it’s with
speeds that you’re going to be working
your balance so you’re going to send
like this always remember the back
straight look forward and you’re just
going to be pedaling like this trying to
turn and get some speed and try to let
go of the fence like this at some point
and just practice your feeling on the
unicycle so once you have tried with the
fence you can go for a wall or rail and
just put your hand like this and follow
the rail or the wall and get some speed
and momentum once you’re used to the
fence and you want to let go of the
fence just choose an object close your
back straight just look at the object
and reconsent rate on pedaling forward
and just go way like this
you
