They say "it takes a big man to admit his mistakes". Well, I am a very big man in this episode because I admit to so many mistakes. #1 is getting one of the largest and heaviest Electric Unicycles (EUC), the Veteran Sherman, as my first EUC to learn on. ...
As a new EUC (Veteran Sherman) rider, I assume I will fall down. Maybe a lot. So I plan to wear a lot of safety gear. How much is enough? Here is what I plan to wear and it is a good thing the cold weather is here because it is a lot.
Safety Gear I re...
