Unicycle – training for all levels
Our trainer is a world class unicyclist with more than 5 world titles in her carriere, and she has experience running unicycle courses for every level.
This beginner’s course is designed and led by experts and is accredited by the Sofia Unicycle Club, so you can be sure you’ll get the best training available.
Unicycle Skill #1: LEARN TO RIDE
A unicycle works the calf muscles. Developing your calf muscles is a big bonus when you’re trying to build strength and bulk. As you strive and develop balance on your unicycle, you are also toning your core muscles. Proper strengthening of core muscles often improves overall health.
Great exercise, unicycling can make you a better cyclist and it’s great fun. We have a warm up and stretch in every class. You will learn how to climb and freeride, gain a good knowledge of slalom, figure 8, circles/spins and turns.
Skill #2: LEARN TRICKS, TAKE IUF SKILL LEVELS, DISTANCE AND MOUNTAIN RIDING AND MUCH MORE
So, you have successfully mastered the art of unicycle riding and now you can ride freely. Now the fun really begins!
Learn your first tricks on your unicycle, giving you a solid foundation from which to expand into many different unicycle disciplines. You will be introduced to the 10 skill levels of the IUF (International Unicycle Federation) and at the end of each month your level will be tested.
You will be introduced to jumping on pallets, riding in pairs and in group formations.
