Just for interests sake....

one_wheely · April 30, 2006, 12:17am

I was just wondering what sorts of things people are currently doing with your unicycle?

eg: building a special unicycle, learning to hop better, learning to ride on
dirt, grind… whatever i just thought it would be interesting

to start off

im learning to idle
i’m trying to hop
i’ve been practising down some dirt tracks
i’m buiding a bunch of wooden ramps just to improve riding up and down steep slopes
i’ve also been setting up a small slalom course to practise my sharp turns and stuff

What things have you been doing recently??

Jerrick · April 30, 2006, 12:24am

These are in a random order, cause I’m learning each one but not prioritizing them, so I’m not gonna learn one, then go to two, these are the things I’m working on.

180 uni-spins
Wheel Walking
higher hop height regular, SIF, and rolling
seat drag
seat push
Coasting
grinding (need a plate cause my pins are not coming out, i tried for 2 hours)

Thats all that comes to mind, there might be one or two more things im working on.

max_pfeifer · April 30, 2006, 3:33am

I am working on (in no particular order):
-360 unispins
-Cleaner crankflips
-Handrail grinds
-Technical grinds (leg around, one foot, 180 out etc.)
-1/no footers
-360s down stairs
-Wraps
-Seat drag/push

I think thats about it.

Currently working on:

High accuracy SIF hops (onto small poles)
Railriding
Hopping from skinny to skinny (and soforth)
Gaps

So, basically, the more fine points of unitrial.

I’m also working on finishing off this custom muni of mine.

I’m mostly just working on BC, but also wheelwalking a bit.

Erant · May 4, 2006, 3:41am

Yup! Nothing quite like hopping from a 10cm wide pole to a ledge, then riding along it, gapping to a bench, and hopping up the backrest

On this theme can anyone suggest what a beginner should try first after mastering the basics (and I mean the very basics). I can manage to steer and ascend/descent gentle inclines. Would hopping off a moderately high curb or small step be a good next move? Any other suggestions about the next sort of thing to attempt? (I am trying to freemount just now).
Cheers
Tet

freddy · May 4, 2006, 4:37am

working on:

Controlled 450 unispins
Controlled crankflips
Better stand-up wheelwalk
Different unispins down curbs.
Trialing (higher hops, longer gaps)

Erant · May 9, 2006, 11:39am

I’d say freemounting is a good thing to try next.
