540 UNIspin Competition

O.K. I’ve seen quite a few trick competitions lately (who can land what trick first) and I did a search and couldn’t find one on 540 unispins…SO, I really want to learn them but have no motivation. If anyone wants to try…here is the place I guess. You cannot have landed them before. Also a little information would be nice…I.E.

Name: Levi
Unicycling for: 6 months
Other tricks: Crankflip, 360
Ice Cream: Vanilla

Got to post footage to when you land it, (btw I don’t know if I am doing this right if I am not please correct me. I am not sure if they should be rolling or not…can figure that out later I guess.

Im in, although I dont feel I will be very competative seeing as I havnt tried them and I have almost no free time now (I seem to get a huge amount of work for my A-levels and it takes up near enough all my time)

Name: Marcus
Unicycling for: about 11 months I think
Other tricks: too many to list
Ice Cream: Vanilla

Is there going to be a start date or like shal we just start as soon as we sign up?

I was going to start as soon as a few ppl signed up so how about monday the 19th? That should be enough time right?

I dont mind. I doubt I will be able to ride (for more than about 30 mins) untill our christmas break :frowning: I have way too much work to do, even at christmas its asumed that I will be revising most of the time seeing as I have a series of exams straight after I get back. I fear its going to be like this untill the finish of my two years doing A-levels :frowning: pretty depressing.

I’m sick right now so I can’t practice but I 'll try when I can.

540s are tough…toughest trick i’ve ever landed. good luck with landing it. it’s all about balls. i lose them often and then get em back.

I don’t have a video camera so it may take a while for me to get footage on it.

Man too often I am one step ahead of thes comps. Good luck kids, this trick beat me up pretty good.

Unicycling for: almost 2 years
Other tricks: 360 unispin,flip variations…
Ice cream: Crunchie:D

Haha, I forgot this was only a 540 comp! I was just reading the stuff each person was listing; name, how long unicycling, other tricks and fav ice cream. :slight_smile: , so I chimed in. But I actually barely landed a 360 on my torker lx 20.

So a 540 just requires a somewhat faster spin and a higher/wider jump off the pedals than a 360? Me thinks it’s prolly at least 50% mental to nail it…could this be true?:o

no, i’m thinking its 100 percent mental to LEARN it, the one time i have kicked down and caught the pedals… i barely landed it… the sketchiest thing i have ever done

i’ve never committed to learning it though, i’m in… that one was just a super lucky fluke.

other tricks: some freestyle, 360 unispin, no flips, jumping over a truck?
icecream… chocolate chip cookie dough FTW

Name: Matt
Unicycling for: A bit over a year
Other tricks: 360 unispin
Ice Cream: mint chocolate chip

I have wanted to land this trick for a long time and I was thinking about a comp for it to. I’ve tried them a bit and I was getting pretty close about a month ago (see one of the last clips in my vid that’s linked in my sig) but Ive barely ridden since then and I pretty much lost it all.

Hopefully this works out well.

I might practice it tonight seeing as how my plans for the evening just got wrecked.

I would say definitely not. There is a lot of technique and timing involved.

Good luck! I really want to get this trick but its really hard. I almost have the spin but the landing is impossible for me right now. Id rather just work on my flips.
