Don’t give up. It’s a bit of a challenge at first, but you have to keep with it.

I haven’t seriously hurt myself, but when I was learning I would fall off and get scraped up.

Yeah, there are three general types. They make normal (unicycles), which I ride, tall (unicycles) which can be 6 feet tall or more, and extreme (unicycles). The extreme ones are fitted with a bigger tire so that you can go off-road riding.

What is the most difficult thing you’ve ever done while riding a unicycle?
In the sixth grade I did the Carmel Middle School talent show. I started by putting my ramp and box on the stage and I rode up and finally hit it for the first time. Then, I rode around for a bit before I picked up a jump rope. For the record, I can’t actually jump rope on a unicycle, but I can throw it under the tire and ride forward.
