Moving House

Totally off track here.........moving to Corsham as soon as poss.....anyone out there know anyone with a house that has a large second bedroom, garden and do not mind two cats moving in also..........We want to rent long term, while daughter goes to Corsham School.....need to move by end of August at the latest!!!!

Nice little practice

Quick run around the cull-de-sac this morning, balance good and managed a few circuits of the driveway, still working too much to get regular practice but I suppose that is a double edged sword as I would be a sad man without work!

Back on track

Been busy the last few weeks with work and stuff.....but had a practice yesterday(Sat) and off again today in the hot sun!.....Still trying to 'free mount' but had little time to practice.....no excuse .....will MAKE time over the next few days and weeks to practice REALLY hard!

Quick Ride

Just had a quick burn up along the cul-de-sac to keep my hand in, first practice for about 2 weeks........still no joy with the free mount, must try a new method! Anyway, my balance is good at the moment, just need to build up the leg muscles to get some distance runs going.

Busy Busy

Been busy on the balloon launching lately.......now the weather is pants.......can't wait for a dry few hours to jump on and give it some!!!.....must keep practicing the free mount which I need to perfect before 'WOMAD'......or the next time we go to Pembrokeshire, so I can impress the nephews!

Bugger!

Fifty+ attempts at a' free mount' and not one success........this is the bit most people don't see/want to see.....practice, practice, practice, practice.....sometimes many hours to master a simple trick/manouvre. This is why unicycling is so good for concentration/balance/fitness....because if you lose one of those qualities, it has the same effect as the fire triangle, take out one element and its out!, or in my case, Off!!!....Anyway, coz my glass is normally half full, I will crack on and master the art of 'free mount' and 'hover'....

Frustration...........

Just done 40 minutes trying to 'free mount' with about as much success as someone who doesn't have much success, alot.......however, I shall not be defeated.....I can feel success coming along.....date to be announced!.....One thing I have learnt about riding a unicycle, it is soooooo easy to lose focus and.....fall off!!!
