[454unicycle454]

i cant 180 unispin no matter how much i try anyone have any helpful tips?

[unireed]

first learn the jump mount, then the 180 jump mount, then practice jumping off of the pedals.

You don't really need the 180 unispin mount, practice no footers, and then practice no footers with your hands in unispinning position (hands together in the middle of the seat), and once you can do big no footers like that you should be able to get the trick easily. If you want I can make a video to show all these steps.

- The higher you jump, the more time to adjust your landing.
- The faster you spin, the earlier you uni is in position.
- Don't jump too much.
- Countdown, and execute it on zero (even if you think you will fail from the position you have then).
- Don't push on the unicycle while landing.
- Bend a little over your seat before you jump.
Further, just see for yourself what you fine comfortable: SIF or landing on the seat.

Please don't be this negative; if things were easy, achievement would be no fun.

just [a] switch off your computer and [b] practise, and [c] evaluate your frequently mistakes. Then [d] eliminate your mistakes, and logically you will succeed.

But if you really want more help, film a couple attempts and post them.

that was covered in reply #74
and answered by you in reply #75

I'd like to repeat portions of reply #4

it will provide the space for your seat to turn PLUS will get your unicycle in vertical position (and thus prevent it from spinning away)
OR
(again repeat of portions of reply #4):

I think the most dificult part of 180 unispin is the no footer xD.

no footer tips?

You need to be able to hop seat in front. then you learn the 180 jump mount (although that can mess you up, depends on the rider). To do a 180 jump mount, jump up onto the unicycle and spin the unicycle 180 degrees at the same time and land on the cranks. Once you're consistent with this, go for a 180 unispin. Get on with the seat in front, holding the seat with one hand on the front and the other on the back (have your left hand in front if you hop left foot forward and your right hand in front if you hop right foot forward) and find your center of balance by hopping. When you're ready, jump up while keeping the unicycle on the ground. Don't let the unicycle come up with you. Spin the unicycle 180 degrees and land on the cranks. Don't take too long with this trick, it won't be fun if your trying it for months and aren't landing it, just do it. If you want, I could put a tutorial up for you.

I wonder, why would that be a problem or more difficult?
