This was one of the first truly hard and fully unintuitive "physical" things I taught myself over the course of about a month in 2019.
At the time I was living in New York City and youtube kept showing me cool videos of EUC's and I was curious given how solid an option for transportation they were. More range than an e-bike or scooter, small enough to wheel into elevators / buildings easily and safer than scooters (large wheel and surprisingly more stability).
For the first few days I was barely able to go 2-3 feet, every day I added a bit more. Then turning, then bike lanes, then the ability to stop quickly / recover from large bumps.
It was incredibly hard and I almost broke my wrist learning, but it was cool even at 26 to realize I could still learn something seemingly completely impossible.
