I used to do a paper round on a unicycle . . . true story!
It's like most things, practice practice practice etc. But u need to keep your balance forward, 1 so that you move forward and 2 so that you can bail out easily.
All the tips Ray put up are good. Just start by holding onto something solid and rocking back and forth until you are used to the wheel being directly underneath you.
Good luck! (say goodbye to your shins! . . . maybe thats where Ray got his forum name!! ;)
