The boys

The boys (Habeeb and Sly/Uniana Jones) took the unicycles to the laundromat the other day, and got some practice in riding in the parking lot. From all reports, they did quite well. I'm excited to see Sly excited about riding--I wasn't sure he was going to continue to pursue it.

Last night they were at it again out in the driveway and cul-de-sac. Both are doing very well. Habeeb is working diligently on free-mounting and pulls it off sometimes. Sly is working on distance from an assisted mount. He also pulled off a couple sideways hops while holding on last night too. He was very excited. However, the best thing he did last night was ride a good 500'. That was awesome!

Sly and Habeeb really need a longer seat post for the Nimbus II. We got a 200mm seat post hoping Jman would try riding too, but he doesn't seem very interested, or at least not nearly as interested as Habeeb and Sly, and they really need a 300mm seat post. However, when we get back home and fix up my old 24" unis, I think Sly may prefer that anyway. Then we can keep the Nimbus II set up for Jman to be able to try it when he wants.

Anyway, the boys are doing great!!
