yeah just keep practicing after a weekend I could go for as far as I wanted.  Also one tip if you are having trouble if to do it along a wall so you can brace yourself against it with one hand

Did anyone ever play that old school Unicycle game? It was on the computer at the library when I was little, and was pretty much the highlight of my childhood. It was so nice...

practice. 10 feet is a solid start. Just keep trying and you should be able to make progress.

There's no real trick to it other than practice. you are essentially just leaning the direction that you want to go, and then move the wheel underneath yourself so you don't fall.

ski poles seems like a good idea though, never thought of that.

i just practiced a lot using ski poles but one day i lost balance and tried to correct and the front of the seat hit me in the nuts harder than i've ever been hit before, i threw up a little and couldn't move for 3 hours let alone the fact that my nuts hurt and were hella tender for like 2 weeks
