Method requires 2 helpers. Useful info
I just taught myself to unicycle and bought this book to get some tips and learn what I could have done better or different. This book's technique is based on having 2 helpers every time you practice. While this may be the "best" method, most people will not have 2 people that can invest the hours to month he suggests. I did pick up some good conceptual information an pointers that would have helped me while learning by leaning against a wall at 7-Eleven. In addition, he has some good tips on turning, learning to mount, and riding backwards. I still recommend the book, but don't expect to necessarily use its main method of learning.

Informative
Good book for beginners it helped and confirmed some of the things I was doing right knowledgable author . For me idling really seemed to help as an middle aged man I want to catch myself with the bike as I fall. Riding more than 5 ft at a time came later.

Okay
this book is okay since it tells you how to ride a unicycle and it is easy but you have to have two people or it will take you a very very long time to learn if you are a beginner.

Still the best book on learning how to unicycle - I read it 37 years ago!!
This is seriously the best book on learning how to unicycle, build different unicycles, and have fun with it. I read this at my local library over 37 years ago. Following the book's guidance, I learned to ride in 3 hours and it set me off on a lifetime of unicycling. I have been trying to find Jack's contact info to write him a personal thank you note, but it's not online, so I can only hope he reads this review! Get yourself a copy of this book - yes, it's super old, but the info is still relevant and well organized.
