Took me 5 hours to land my first one, had them consistent a while after that. It’s fine to land on the cranks, it’s probably easier to land on the cranks when you’re learning. Once you get better you land on the pedals every time.
I started learning last night and could 180 mount quite confidently before i took a fall and had my hand spasming for a while from a hard knock on my elbow
I was just out there again now and with my 180s, i noticed i was landing seat in? should i be landing SIF?
in a tutorial i watched the seat was so low it was half SI half SIF
Im holding off practicing, just incase i’m doing it wrong so a quick reply would be great
cheers
45 minutes?! thats pretty heeps extremely good. but did you master it? or could do it 50 % of the time? im learning to wheel walk fast and i dont know why, i seem to just be natural.
Yeah, Unispins are mental like that in the early numbers… I haven’t conquered them but in the last 2 hours I’ve gotten pretty close. 
After I got some leg protection the jumping off and spinning became so much easier. Hooray me 
Having some discrepancy with hand position… Does anyone have any tips on hand position or does it matter? (If the saddle were a clock I would have my right hand at 11 o’clock and my left at 7ish… And sometimes I keep my left hand on the saddle the entire time…) Is there a right way to do this or is this ok until I improve?
yeah, but does hand position matter if you still land it?
Landing it is landing it, as far as I’m concerned.
I assume you’re spinning clockwise? I found it easiest if I didn’t leave my back hand on the whole way. So front hand stays on the whole time. Back hand helps start the rotation then comes off and helps stop the rotation at the back of the seat - in the same place it started. Finish with both hands on the seat - say at 4 and 8 o’clock.
Is it a big problem learning with beefy unis?
I have the Quax muni which is around 6.5 kilos
Also, when learning 180s, is it best to start with the uni backwards for a “safer” landing? or is it better to get the clean natural take-off?
Nah just start it the regular way, I’ve done tons and never have I “hit myself” in such a way with the front handle… Also I find it easier to start it the regular way.
Hello guys, i’ ve been off unicycling for several months but now i’ m back having a try at unispin 180. I know to jump mount (180 jump mount feels like scary) and i am trying to have a proper no-footer to have a go for the actual thing. I ‘ve been trying it for sth like 2 days, and my progress is really slow! Well, i’’ l just continue and hope i will get better soon! Do you think knee guards like 661’s are necessairy for such a trick? I have metal pedals and don’t have any problems with pedal bites yet. However, won’ t they help me to get rid of the fear? Any suugestions and tips are welcomed!
Sry for my english guys, i’m from Greece!
Hi, when i first started them i coul barely do them after seeing the thread on pedal bites:( But after i got 661’s i felt much more comfortable and it will also take different amounts of time do different people. Some people get it in a week some in a few months but for me it has taken 3 weeks and im at the ending stage where i land on the pedals and i got the seat but i then fall off and i cant ride on 
By the way your english is good:D
hehe, thanx! I am trying to do no-footer, i can jump quite high, but just cannot snap my feet in, maybe it’ s out of fear, but i just can’ t and i land on the ground! Anyway, i’ ll keep at it (try to do a 180 jump mount) and if i make any progress i’ ll purphase the 611’s to gain some confidence!
yer well what i also found for the 180 jump mount find some kind of low platform thats higher than the ground but not ultra high preferably in your backgarden but otherwise anywere then stand on the top with uni on the ground. Jump as high as you can using the seat as a vault then spin the uni(cause you are higher from the platformer you can jump higher:D) Then look down and while your in the air position your feet so they will land on the pedals(Some people say land on the cranks but i find that i bash the bone on the side of my foot on the forks of the frame) So do wichever one you prefer then try to land on pedals. For the first few trys i landed it then jumped off because otherwise balancing then trying to ride off is another 2 things to remember so first master getting on the pedals then master cycling off
Hey guys just wondering when landing back on the pedals should the uni still be n the air or can the uni land on the ground then me on pedals/cranks?
Thanks
I agree
I think this helps more than it hinders. Sure it drags it out a bit more, but it is easier to understand each step.
Hey guys, I’d like to ask if this is do-able with a 26" tyre? I’ve been riding for about 6 months now and started off thinking that a big Muni tyre would be best for riding round, but now I feel like I want to at least know how to unispin or something so I’ve got something to show when a passer by yells “do a trick!”.
26" might seem a huge size to do a unispin but I am 6’8", if that’s going to help more than the tyre is a hindrance. I think the biggest thing is that I’ve not yet properly attempted the trick as £45 for a pair of unicyclist shin guards is quite deer.
26" Unispin
Watch this ad:
by the time you’ve gone 14 miles on a uni, it will probably be sunset on the next day
I’ve been trying to land 3spins for like 3 months and I still can get them. I’m landing with my feet parallel so my back foot lands on the pedal and my front foot misses. Any help would be appreciated.
