How to Get On a Unicycle

Video Transcript

Okay, now that you know that you're right or left-footed, now we're ready to get on the unicycle, all right. Now the unicycle, think of it as a clock, okay. We have, this is twelve o'clock, and this is six o'clock, three o'clock, and nine o'clock, all right. That's going to determine where on the clock your pedal's going to be, all right. Now, I like to start out at six o'clock, okay. So I have my pedal all the way at the ground. Now the reason for this is, when I step onto it, the tire's not going to move very far. Do you see that? If you have it up at, let's say, nine o'clock, when you push down, your tire's going to go back. This is going to make it very hard to actually get started riding the unicycle. So, I'm going to start at six o'clock right here. Now my post, that'll lean back, and I'm getting ready to sit on it, all right. I have my foot on the bottom right here; this is where we're going to start to get up. Now I recommend that you actually use a chair, friend, a wall, something like that to get up your first time because you're not going to be able to. I was in my backyard using my staircase of my porch for this. So, you've got your pedal all the way down, you're going to lift yourself up, and put your, put your left foot right on top there too, all right. Now you're up on the unicycle. Let's go on to the next clip now.
