A group of us went to celebrate Independence Day (and a couple of looming birthdays) with a MUni ride in Berkeley. We hit the steam trains first, which was fun; I haven’t been there in years. Great ride; I tried a drop and a chute I’d never worked up the nerve to do before (I made the drop, biffed on the chute)
Edit to add: Nathan also shot some nice video of the riding and a biff or two. Great day out there!
Dear Unicyclyist,
I need help! I just learned to unicycle one month back and I feel I am making very slow progress. I can ride for long distances but I still cannot bunny hop, idle and ride backwards. Please advise if my progress is slow and please tell me I can do it! I need you! You guys are the greatest people I have known!

It took me a month just to learn to ride, so your progress is fine. Idling is fairly difficult to learn; I would start with hopping, which is a simpler skill. It’s a little like a pogo stick, if you’ve hopped on one of those; think about flexing your ankles.
Keep it up!
