a few weeks ago I made a list for unispins http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p2QeroPmC4JiKCiA6jSwAJQ&gid=0
some words are german so.
ja = yes
nein = no
möglich = possible
von = from
nach = to
fahrer = rider
rad = wheel
and how stands for hop on wheel
I think now you will undestand it. I hope it helps
I think what he meant by this was…
What is the difference bewteen a grab and a stall?
I would also like to say thank you to Uni Tricks for asking the questions because that is a very good way of using this thread. For noobs to learn and for the more experienced to help out.
EDIT. Also, does anybody have a vid clip of someone doing an X-up on a uni? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.
None
I’ll just find a link…
Edit: in this video (he attempts one at 50 seconds… thats about it lol sadly).
I think skrobo probly has some in his videos? But there are definitely a few around..
Thanks for the quick reply jamessd. I always knew I could rely on a fellow Brit to help me out!
Are you sure that was the right clip? I didn’t see an x-up, or even an attempt at one.:-S
Krisz Kovacs does an x-up flip in this video:http://www.sinco.hu/data/vid/sinco_kriszshred.wmv .
Its at 1:09. Lots of other tricks as well. This is one of my favorite videos made so far.
When he jumps off the bench he tries to do one (but fails…).
Bad example… sorry.
That was so fast, I had to go back and watch it again! It’s the kind of trick where if you blink you will miss it! They must be pretty hard to do.
isn’t a tire grab where you stall, then reach down, grab your tire, and come back up, or is it more complicated than that?
I’ve just read a new page of info on wikipedia http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Unicyclopedia/Street (much more comprehensive than previous ones I’ve viewed) and it mentions something about pedal/crank grabs and stalls.
It suggests that a pedal stall is just stalling on an object then hopping off again whereas a pedal grab is the mid-stage of hopping up onto an object with your tire. So you would hop onto the object with a pedal grab, then onto rubber, thus concluding the full hop onto the object.
I hope that is helpful and isn’t wrong. Please correct me if it is wrong.
You guys are thinking to hard. its not computer scripting! just jump onto a bench and slam your left or right ride on there. procede to rubber or jump off. simple as that eh?
There’s nothing wrong with being interested in what distinguishes one trick/move from another, though - although I wouldn’t say that people would take care over saying stall/grab in the precisely correct way - I just say whatever I feel like saying! (it only really matters when you’re talking technically about technical tricks…)
Thats true but there just talking about stalls/pgrabs, there pretty much the same thing.
PETAL GRAB All a Petal grab is, is… when you jump up onto something and grab it with your petal because it would be to high to stall onto.
STALL All a stall is is getting on to a bench or high curb without having to use your pedal to get to the stall.
so generally people wouldnt freak out is you petal grabbed say. a 2 1/2 high curb. but they would be more impressed if you stalled the high curb without useing your petal to get upto it. see what im saying?
Nope, not at all.
Just forget it - Unicyclejuggler’s explanation was sufficient I was just discussing it.
PS I don’t know why you think it’s called a petal - but it makes you look a bit urm… simple when you write it like that repeatedly and especially when you don’t edit your post (just a tip).
Cheers, I thought it was too!
didnt realize i was spelling it like that. i saw it in a earlier post and i guess it stuck. :o
What’s an inflip?
I’ve tried lokking for it, but I can’t find an explanation of it.
that was a freaking amazing video!
What video?!
