How to Unispin

[unibeast009]

I’m sure many have asked this question before, but after looking through the forums for a while, I could not find one. I have watched tutorials on youtube. I understand how to do the movement, but I am having a major problem. I can’t seem to jump off the pedals and land back on (w/o spinning the uni.) Has anyone had this problem? I don’t know if it’s just a mental thing or not. I wear pads, so I can’t get hurt, but something is still holding me back…

The unispin tutorial to end all unispin questions

Title says it. I have come up with a method for learning unispins that is completely foolproof. I will write it on 180’s but the same exact tecnique can be used to learn 360’s, and 540’s I think. Ok, so I’m gonna break down unispins into each of it’s tiniest elements which will only take a couple tries to get, and then all you have to do is put them together. O yeah, something I forgot is that you should be very comforable with hopping SIF. Here is an outline of the components of a unispin: I.…

It’s called a no-footer. And it’s totally normal to have trouble with it. Just start small. Do it seat-in, and just barely leave the pedals. In time, you’ll get more comfortable jumping higher off the pedals and landing back on. It’s difficult to jump straight up - and to jump with exactly equal pressure on each pedal.

Post a brag when you’ve got it.
