I'm hopeless at juggling and have yet to master one ball.

I was making progress on unicycling. I made a trainer from a walker. Then, my seat broke. I need to replace the seat and seat post.

A walker! What a great idea! I'm also trying to learn how to unicycle and have just been grabbing onto my car-top carrier with one hand. It's slow-going--and I still have a seat! I've also brought the unicycle into the house and grabbed the back of the couch. Wiping out feels less painful when it's on carpet.

I have tried a few times inside. But, the bike got away from me one time and I was afraid I was going to break something. It might not feel as bad falling on carpet or the couch, but it may hurt the wallet having to replace an expensive window or hole in a wall.

Welcome to the Forum, you Silly Man, you.

I like that walker idea too.

We got my sister a unicycle for her b-day when she turned 13. She started out holding onto the fence in the back yard, then we opened the driveway gate to lengthen the fence. After about a week and a half she was going non-stop around the block. Another week or 2 and she was juggling clubs down the block as she rode.
