i thought of something thats pretty impossible but i thought of it anyways. go to this link and read the frame hopping one, now if someone did this and jumped high enough so the the seat is on the ground and the frame is straight up with the person standing on the cranks up there. its be pretty amazing and ide give them anything they wanted
Something pretty similar has been done, except instead of landing on the seat, the seat is flipped from in front of the unicycle to behind it. Sometimes they even jump over the seat so it’s in back, then immediately jump over it again so that it’s back in front. There’s a video somewhere. I believe the trick is generally called a seat whip, although there may be other names floating around. I think landing on the saddle that way would probably break it, especially if you did it more than a couple times.
thats nuts, i dont even 100% understand what your talking about but it sounds insane. if someone lands on it with a broken seat or not i dotn care, ill give them anything. but they have to balance for like 30 seconds atleast
I have sort of done it, not on purpose though. I have attempted the seat whip thing jsm was talking about and sometimes I don’t completely clear the seat as its swinging below me and land on it. It is definately not a controled balance up there and it usually ends with my on my back in alot of pain. I have a carbon fiber seat so it didn’t break.
I guess you’re talking about this vid… The guy who does that trick (Yohann) is one of the known “inventors” of that trick. Being a member of the ACUN Club, I can tell you it’s fake, just a loopback from the video (well edited indeed!). Sorry if I break your dream, but this doesn’t prevent you from trying the trick.
Damn, I always thought that was he did it front then back. Awwww, thats annoying.
