Hey, I’m kinda new here and I don’t quite understand all the abbreviations of words like SIF and CF seat base and things like that post others if you can think of them. Thx.
SIF is seat in front, where you ride with the seat out in front of your legs,
SI in seat in, normal riding
CF seat base is carbon fiber seat base, its a stronger piece to upgrade your saddle
KH is kris holm, one of the best unicycle manufacturers and an awesome rider himself
RSU is rec.sport.unicycling which is the unicycling section of the forum
JC is just conversation, the random section of the forum

haha a hick flip is a 180unispin and crankflip together .
trey- treyflip (360 unispin + crankflip)
fifth- fifthflip (540 unispin + crankflip)
sej- sejflip (720 unispin + crankflip)
There are variations on these like fakie-trey (backwards treyflip), blind-trey (spinning the unicycle the opposite way as you would normally), trey-back (treyflip with a backflip or reverse crankflip).
