Hey Birdgirl, it was almost 30 years since I rode one and had no problem regaining my balance. I bet you could do it if you gave yourself a chance?
This is the very 1st ride after almost 30 years.

I am going to get myself able to ride the thing around the block. That will be a while in the making but, it will happen. My legs hurt now as I have been riding it for about 10 or 15 minumtes every day since I had it and it is getting to be a longer distance already that I can ride. I have gone 250 feet in one shot so far and that is an accomplishement for me. I will be happy when I can go a mile on the thing because I used to ride it for miles when I was a kid with my dog in tow.
I used to be able to juggle and ride it but that was when I was 15 and very flexible, I am not as flexible as I once was nor do I have the same sized balls as I once had. Or maybe my brain actully grew a little? I can still juggle but I won't try it on the unicycle.
