I'm no professional at no footers, but what helped me learn them a lot is concentrate on putting no weight on the unicycle when you're in the air. if you do, it will start rolling and the pedals won't be level and stuff. so just jump, and take your feet off a little bit, and keep one hand on the seat, but don't put any weight on it.

No footers aren't required but to me it makes sense to be able to jump off and land back on your uni really comfortably before you start spinning it.

but wouldnt you want to do no footers seat in front.. becuase you 180 unispins seat in front and land on them seat in front.. and another thing.. when you do a no footer.. does the uni genrally come off the ground or stay on the ground?

It's easier to learn no footers with the uni staying on the ground because if you are rolling into the no footer and you pick up the uni it will tend to want to crankflip and you will land with the cranks in the wrong positions.

I learned 180 unispins, 180 unispins off drops, 360 unispins, rolling 360 unispins, but I suck at no-footers. In fact I learned unispins waaay before no-footers. They are in no way similair.

ya thats pretty much how i learned except after 180 unispins off drops i learned 180/180 and i can almost 360 unispin. I didnt learn no-footers until after all those. Rolling no-footers helped me learn crankflips.

Hi! I think that i am quite good at no-footers and hopping sif, but i can't do jup mounts. I don't find them difficult, but scary... Do u think that without learning jump mount and doing good no-footers, with some practice, i will land a 180 unispin?

yeah, but sooner or later it will just be better to get over the fear.
