This is a really good intro for learning to ride the unicycle. It clearly explains the huge first step of "getting on and going." And once you can do that, the balance and natural reaction portions of your brain help you to learn everything else. There is also a chapter that explains what to do after learning to get on and go, namely how to ride circles and figure eights. Once you can do those, being able to perform sharper turns comes naturally. And, if you prefer pictures over text, don't worry - the book contains many photos that make it really easy to see exactly what to do when learning the basics. I definitely give my thanks to this book and its author.
