Getting Better

Had a good hour or so on Friday morning ....balance coming good again after such erratic practice sessions over the last 12 months. Confidence building up.....strange how a relatively cheap hobby can pay such dividends in the form of self belief and sense of achievement. Just an hour focused on staying upright can improve my day beyond recognition!

Lovely Morning

Got an hours practice in this morning...so warm, I was sweating!!

Warm Weather for the time of year!

Bloody warm this morning whilst on the practice grounds trying to hover...badly! Hey ho ...must remember practice makes perfect!!!!!

Practice, practice, practice.....

Signed up as a film 'extra' this week......put on my registration that I can unicycle......must keep practicing in case they ask me to do some stunt unicycling work on Holby or Casualty!... :-D

Long Break

Many moons since my last post due to lots of stuff going on.........back practicing on my one wheel wonder!

It amazed me that after 6 months I was able to stay on after a couple of hours intense re-balancing!!

This summer, all being good, I HOPE to master 'free mounting' completely and 'hovering' is my secondary target. I may then have the confidence to start using my skills to raise money for charity.

Spring is here!!

Hello there.......just come out of hibernation.......spent an hour on Saturday morning on the 'uni'....very unbalanced after nearly six months without a practice but managed to get going within 10 - 15 attempts!!! Great feeling knowing I can still do it but do need to practice more regularly!!!.

Autumn Already??????

Have just been for a practice on my uni, without the trauma of having to get back the balance! I always have a fear that I will lose the 'knack' of it if I have not been on for a while!.

This morning before I went out, I was feeling a little 'down', the combined thoughts of winter coming(I HATE LONG DARK NIGHTS AND SHORT DAYS), the realisation that chasing balloons will come to an end within the next month and the idea of working in a workshop with oil and noise and dust for 5 months!!. Don't get me wrong, I love the people I work with at English Wirework and really appreciate the fact that my winter commute to work is only a 2 minute bike ride but boy o boy do I miss the summer, crap as the British one can be at times!!!! However.......after half an hour messing around on one wheel, doing something many people would not even attempt, my feeling of well being and self confidence is now through the roof!!! Bloody good therapy for the cost of a night in the pub!.
