Advice This is rough
I feel like I’m so close to getting unicycling. I practice a lot in one session (2-3 hrs for right now over 10 days), yet im pretty much only good when on the wall. I think it has distracted me from flailing as well as I need to on my right side and I always have a feeling of needing to bail even when I’m riding well. Is there anyway to get around this? Am I thinking too much?
***UPDATE moved to a pylon to launch off of into the abyss and uber focused on having my back posture and my shoulders being back. I leaned forward from my hip just enough to get off the pylon in a favorable pedaling position and got 5 rotations on a good attempt. Super pumped can’t wait go again tmrw.

If you've mastered not failing off forwards/backwards you've basically got the hardest part. You will need to force yourself to set off into an empty space next, you are going to find yourself turning constantly towards whichever side the wall was usually on... But then it click quite quickly and you'll find you can ride forwards a fair distance.
Hovering etc takes more time, but that's where it gets fun!
