Back in january I had my bed on one side and acoustic foam panels on the other, I knew I wouldn't get hurt if I fell, and so it took an hour and two falls to learn to ride them.
Now I can mount without a step, ride one handed, no handed (only just tried that) and out of the saddle. I've been doing revouts with a 69" gear and tyres pumped up to 140psi, proper speed and stability work. They are easier to ride with a bigger gear and slightly softer (not too soft) tyres.
I just wish they weren't so damn noisy
