try, try again

practiced unicycling for an hour tonight. fell flat on my bum just once. dropped the poor one-wheeled victim of my abuse more times than i could count. scratched my inner thigh on the exposed metal on the seat. no bleeding, but nice and red. i promised i won't post pictures. no cameras around, but plenty of people drove by and took a second look. one guy even stopped and tried talking with me. i told him to go away. not really, but he was breaking my concentration. the best part was the two or three or four times i actually was sort of riding the crazy thing. i pedaled four or five strokes more than once. still don't know how to react properly when i start falling, but i'll get it. gravity will not win.
