summer goals (for unicycling)

sorry if this has been posted already. what is everybodys goalfor the summer this year. I have alot of them and it would take forever to post but just post a few of them if it would take a really long time like me.

here is a few of mine:
have a trials uni
have a trials course
unispins
pedals grabs to tire
hopping higher
sif trials
hopping forwards

thats a few of mine

heres most of mine-

hopping higher sif and seat in
gliding more than 50 feet(right now my record is about 25)
unispins
learning how to BC/ getting a BC
stand up WW
hopping down/riding down stairs backwards
clearing a 7 stair rolling hop forwards
learning how to freemount my giraffe
grinding a rail down at least 4 stairs
doing a 6 foot drop or higher
riding a hand rail for more than 5 feet
crankflip
rolling no footer
going from pedal to rubber

and a lot more I can’t think of…

Ive only got a few:

  1. Build my Muni
  2. Start to ride some Muni
  3. Increase my SIF hop hight to 1.5-2ft
  4. Learn unispins

My goal is to not get hurt … you know how us old people are.

A recent goal, which I have not been working on, is to ride one-footed.

the goal about not getting hurt is a good goal but I don’t think it would last with me

No pain no gain…

heres a cuple of mine:
-higher sif hops
-higher rolling hops
-360 unispin
-crank grab (peadal to rubber)
-step around thing

thats why not getting hurt was a goal of mine because i figured i would get hurt

Umm, let me see…

-smooth transition to sideways ww
-180 backcranks
-increase sif hopping height to 30 in. (currently approx. 25)
-hand ww
-new trick: sideways glide
-donkey kicks
-crank idle
-variations on all the tricks I have down

The list could go on forever. I might attempt the backflip dismount. Is Trevor the only one who can do it?

muni:
–improve my technique and/or fitness so that I can pass up the mountain bikers when climbing the local trail.
–practice some natural trials and rolling hops to better my muni ability

freestyle:
–sideways WW
–longer glides
–variations, combos, smoother transitions
–solidify seat drag
–etc.

I really only have one.

Frontflips!

Only problem is that the place I can practice these at, is really far away, but its worth it.

Mine are axactly the same as lucky’s, except not forward hopping.

Hopping sif and seat in
one footing
coasting
Get a Coker
gliding
backwards riding
rolling hops
riding a stair set larger than 8 successfully
learning to BC/ get a BC
wheel walking

and many more

for the sideways glide are you talking about gliding in a position like a sideways ww? if you are, these arent new. Daike Izumeda and Simon Wells both do one in thier unicon 12 routines.

For the hand ww, if your not already, learn them sitting on the seat. harder at first but there much more comfortable then on your stomach.


Anyways here a few things i would like to get soon:

-smiley walk (seat in back wheel walk)
-tre flips (360 unispin crankflip)
-inward unispins (seat in to seat in)
-backward spins
-pirouettes
-get better at side ride
-bwd ww and bwd 1ft ww
-backwards 1 foot seat on side
-180 backcrankflips/fakie 180 backcrankflips
-sideways ww sitting on the seat
-sideways ww with the seat behind you
-bwd hand ww
-100 meter coast (so far my best is around 40 meters)
-the rest of things i need to learn for levels 8-10

Probably some more stuff but thats all i can think of now

summer goals:

  • relax while freemounting big-wheels (I am stiff and miss often)
  • use Coker with shorter cranks
  • be able to withstand 10km ride without pain in-between the legs (and U.P.Ds because my brain thinks I am going too quickly)
  • learn simple hops

those are over-ambitious goals :smiley: but I am like that: I am happy when succeeding 5% of my goals.

hows everyone improved on theyre goal list?

I can now hop higher,
glide about 100 feet,
do 180 unispins,
no BC yet:(,
stand up WW for about 10 feet:p,
hop down 2 stairs backwards and roll down 3,
clear a 6 set rolling hop(can’t find a 7),
very close to freemounting my giraffe :roll_eyes: ,
grind a low rail down a curb:),
I think I’ve done 5.5’ drop(I didn’t measure, I was muniing),
I’ve ridden on top of a rail for about 2 revs,
almost did a crankflip, I’ll stick one tommorow for sure,
can rolling no footer,
can almot go from pedal to rubber.

I think I’ve done pretty well,

hows everyone else improved?

its winter here but i wanna learn to glide. ive been trying for about 3 weeks now and cant quite get there.

but so far ive learnt how to grank grab to rubber, hop higger sif, ride down 5 stairs backwards, ride a huni, hop on a BC wheel and not stack it, one foot wheel walk for more than 10 metres.

i can second the ‘its winter here’ i have been seen riding with a jumper which is wooly. My goals are, as follows, to find another unicycler in Tasmania! to pull of a crankflip without bruising my shins and to rolling hop a set of six stairs. i could go on about all the other things i cant but want to do but that will be blog wasting <----- did i just create some new web/nerd terminology? or has it been said before?

I got 2 of mine…I built my Muni and started riding alot more. I still want to get a better hop though…Oh well still 3 weeks to go before school.

I think I have 4 weeks. still time to land a crankflip and jump off something really really high:)

I’m trying to convince my6 dad to let me buy a BC this week. :roll_eyes:
