riding style.

Hi I am learning to ride a unicycle. I would like to know what is your riding style. Do you have both arms at wide, or do your have one hand on the sit and the other, out wide.

I like to have one hand on the sit, and one hand out wide.

Sometimes I ride on roads with some pretty funky slants, and I have to use equally funky arm positions to stay centered on them without holding my spine in positions it shouldn't be held in. But most of the time, I just keep my arms down at my sides and pick them up when I hit a bump or a twig and start to lose balance.

As above, I prefer to ride with arms relaxed at my side. On rough ground or steep hills, I'll tend to have one hand on the sit and one out wide, but that's only temporary, until the ground gets better again.
