Book Reviews of Unicycling: First Steps - First Tricks
Book Review: Good all around guide and best for anything beyond beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not find this book until I had already mastered the basics of unicycling but its depth and detail are great at all levels. I would recommend it as the best "all-in-one" guide to unicycling.
At the beginner level, it explains many different ways of supporting yourself while learning the basics of balance and movement, addressing both solo and group approaches. The concept of supported mounting doesn't seem exactly clear though and indeed seems to be complicated beyond what's necessary.
Where this books shines, I think, is in everything you need to know once you've learned how to ride 10 meters in a straight line. It comments on speed control, turning and basic free mounting in very helpful ways. And once you have those skills down, it gives detailed practical advice on tackling more advanced skills. That's where it really shines.
I've been riding daily for nearly a year now (weather permitting) and this is the one book I come back to regularly because of the guidance it offers on all the skills involved in doing anything more than a ride around the block.
