Let this post serve as an accountability tool for my newest endeavor: learning to ride a unicycle! When you check in with me next, inquire about how my self-teaching lessons are going, and ask what my current struggles are!
My end goal isn't to join a circus, although the thought hasn't entirely left my mind.

Here's my first unicycle: a 20" wheel, road tire, CyclePro brand. Picked up off Craigslist, sans one part, for $50, up and running for $65.
In the 1 week that I've been riding, I've done 5 lessons, roughly 30 minutes each, and I'm just now starting to let go of the wall that I ride near, for very short distances (less than 5 feet).
(Sorry for the terrible sound. I'm just saying I ride roughly 30 minutes a day for the past week.)
If I get a bit o' feedback, I'll continue posting (better) videos of my progress.
