On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus and we are in Hollywood, Florida, and I'd like to show you some things about unicycles. Let's say you went to a circus school instead of learning in your backyard. Do you see where the pedal is right there? Let's call that 6 o'clock and we'll call that 12 o'clock. Of course, that would be 3 o'clock and that will be 9 o'clock. You put your pedal about 7 o'clock. Most people are right footed, so I will show you a right foot mount. I put the seat in the right place, jump up, and hold on. Now, my right foot is on the bottom here. You see that? I'm holding on. This is called rocking. You count your rocks. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. I'm doing a right foot rock because my foot is on the bottom. Now, before I even try to ride in a circus school, I'm going to do 100 of the right foot rocks. 1, 2, 3, 4, and I'm holding on the whole time. Normally, I show this facing the walls. I'm holding to a bar like that and rocking. 100 . Okay.
