How long have you been riding?

[orthman]

I'm just a few days into my new Torker LX 20" and new to this site. I am wondering as I watch the videos and read posts, how long have you been riding? That would give me a gage as to how much I might be able to expect I could improve and accomplish over time. You guys (and gals) are amazing!

I've been riding for 6 months. Today I set my high-hop record to 54cm(on the fourth try).

Keep on practicing and welcome to the forums!

2 years.

I'm a slow learner.

Greatest achievment (as regards riding) is riding my 36er 23 miles just before christmas.

I have a great talent for buying unicycles though. Both buying and riding are adictive. You have been warned. :D

I learned to ride about 4 1/2 years ago. But I've only been riding seriously for the past 2- 2 1/2 years.

Wow it does not seem like that long...

Well, you are 13 years old. Also, my hopping height literally doubled during the last month. Keep on practicing.

[tobbogonist]

[Borgschulze]

Been riding since September 15th 2006.

So a little over 4 months.

[dudewithasock]

I've been riding for about a year, but my hop height is only about 20 cm...oh well.

Your hop height is way more than that...you're not very good with inch > centimeter conversions.

I've been riding 1 year and ~2 months, and all I can do are very basic skills and jump 7-8 inches. Don't worry about others people's progressions (unless you ride with them).

[Catboy]

Since August 2001. So 5+ years now.

[Bottle]

About 6 months (since July 10th), I can almost go backwards, I can gap 61 cm (2 ft.) and my jump height is 74cm (2 ft. 5')

[James_Potter]

At first I thought the title of this thread was, how long have you been hiding? And it was funny.

[monkeyman]

Your hop height is way more than that...you're not very good with inch > centimeter conversions.

Heh. I meant to say inches...and I broke my record today, and got 21 inches, so that's about 53 cm.

[mawesome]

I've been riding about a year. I can hop up 30" on a good try and gap almost 6'.

[torkerdx]

11 and 1/2 months. and I can tire about 91cm or 36in.

[MuniAddict]

Started riding in...let's see...1965. I remember 'cause that's the year the Beatle's "Rubber Soul" Album came out. In case you haven't seen it, here's me riding from 1967: http://youtube.com/watch?v=I3h6mqcGwG8

Only rode off & on and quit riding about 1972. Started again in jan. '06 after a 34 year layoff. Pretty much had to COMPLETELY start from scratch.

[Danni]

Been riding for a year and half
I can side hop 27" (69cm) and gap exactly 6ft.
Welcome the forum!

[Jerrick]

Hmm, been riding for about 3, 4ish years. More towards 4.

First year was riding point A to B. 2nd year I popped my tire and ruined my cranks, and took a break for a year. Still was able to uni on my friends uni every now and then. Still just going point A to B.

For the last 8-9months I have seriously been riding. I looked up video, bought a Torker DX, and started to do more than just ride.

Seeing how people are posting gaping length, I can gap 7 feet, 84 inches, or 213.36 cm. Whichever one seems more impressive.

[mawesome]

Wow, 7 feet. Is that rolling or static?

[Jerrick]

Wow, 7 feet. Is that rolling or static?

Thats rolling. I haven't measure my static yet. That probably around 5.5 feet.

Ill get two pallets and measure between them and keep going until I cant anymore.
