That's cool, I was able to do 180 unispins for about a year before I learned 360s, 1 week between learning a 180 and 360 is really fast.

Learn no footers first, they are really easy. Just jump off the pedals and land back on them.

I start on the padals and land on the cranks, sorry bout the bad video quality. Try to do it with the seat facing backwars so you get a better grip.

A no-footer is basically a 180 unispin, without spinning your uni You jump up from your pedals, and land back on. In order to do a 360 unispin, wouldn't you have to learn a nothing first though?
