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. You remember riding and learning in the backyard. You just ride away and see how far you can ride. If you're actually learning with a circus school or any kind of teacher, you want to practice rocking. We've done 100 right rocks, we've done 100 left rocks, and we've done our 100 right rocks with the foot on the frame. Of course, you can figure it out now. 100 left rocks with the foot on the frame. Once you've mastered those, you can move a little bit further along like rocking with the foot in the air like that and rocking with the foot behind you. You can probably guess how many of these you have to do. Let's use that number 100 again. Of course, you would have to do it on the left side of course. You're back rocking with the foot in front of you and back rocking with the foot behind you. It's going to take months and months before you can actually ride. If you do this every time you get up, by the time you do learn, it'll happen very quickly.
