Sly/Uniana Jones can now ride and ride and ride and ride, including turning street corners, and just keep on going. He does still have to learn how to free mount, though.
Habeeb is closer to free mounting, and can ride a fair ways, but not nearly so far as Sly. But then again, he spends a lot of time trying to ride from a free mount, instead of starting by holding on. Different approaches. Both work, but the one has Habeeb looking slower at progressing.
Habeeb kept his 20" Nimbus II with him on the ship. He's going to ride it when they make some port calls. He said as he was walking down the pier to carry it on board he heard someone say, "Now that's got to be the strangest thing I've ever seen anyone bring onto the ship!" He also got some comments from the watch standers on the quarterdeck.
Within a few hours the CMC saw him in the p-way and commented that he heard he'd brought a unicycle on board. Habeeb replied that indeed he had, and offered to show it to him, since they were very near his stateroom anyway. When they walked in, the CMC said, "Oh, you have a 20" wheel." Habeeb looked at him, and CMC explained that he used to ride too--unicycle basketball and unicycle polo! How cool is that?!? He's gonna maybe ride with Habeeb at their next port call. I said they need to start a unicycle club on the ship! lol!
As for me, I just put out feelers with the local homeschool groups to try to start a uni club. :)
