Footplant tutorial

I searched both “Footplant” and “foot plant” in this section of the forum and found nothing. If this is indeed a clone thread do me a favor and link me to the original and let this thread die peacefully.

Now that that’s done with, can someone write up a tutorial that is a bit better than the one on unicycletips(with maybe even a video)?

I’m not even talking about the crankflip ones, I’ve seen videos but when I go out and try them it just doesn’t work.

Ride up to a ledge, jump up like you’re doing a no-footer, but place one of your feet on the ledge, jump back on the uni, ride away. As simple as that. What may cause problems is aligning crank position with the ledge or wheel spinning when you jump. If your wheel spins, practice put a tad more pressure on the pedal that’s opposite of the direction it spins in.

All you need is love. It’s easy.

me and some other guys are working on a 180 footplant and stuff like that. im gonna go try some soon but its too hot atm.

for the record, dont get your foot jammed in between the spokes and the crank when your landing. you go on your face. happened yesterday whilst trying to do a wallplant.

Faceplant then? :slight_smile:

when footplanting, do it like your going to slide a ledge. So jump into it and not on to it if that makes sense…

i prefer using the opposite foot to my grinding foot, but i can use both, cos im soo cool and shit lol jokes
