  • My good friend Carl was the first person to inspire me to ride a unicycle and one of the coolest things he did was ride uphill - which I thought was impossible.
    But it's not and you can, too.
    Riding uphill and downhill on a unicycle is pretty rough but if you can adhere to three tips, you'll be able to master it in (hopefully) no time.

    Another great tutorial. Of all the sports I've done, riding a unicycle up a long hill has got to be one of the most physically demanding exercises. Always like how you break things down so others can learn some tips. Thanks again.

      Thank you! I agree. It's hard to ride up a steep hill on one wheel and I actually was humbled recently by some other individuals who really could get up steep skinnies with relatively low effort. I was taking notes :D

    Unicycle with handelbar is more difficult riding unicycle balance. Is that right?

    • @HoboDan
      @HoboDan  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’ll be honest I’m actually not sure. I can imagine it would be since you don’t have use of your arms to help balance. So I’d agree with you on that

      Yes, because it "handcuffs" you from using your upper body for balance compensation.
      However, if you are an advanced rider you don't need that anymore. Balance is in the pedaling skill and slight upper body motions.
      The advantage of using hands on the saddle is to "resist" the twisting action that is a result of either pedaling fast or generating power pumps.
