“toofeno”, read backwards, “onefoot”. That’s that.

Yep, that’s all I do anyway, besides unicycle
I was hoping it would enforce the rules, kindly.
What does Static mean ?
Static when used as an adjective, means standing still, and having no motion. It can be used to describe a Unicyclist who is stationary. A static hop is done with no forwards or backwards momentum in contrast to a rolling hop which is done while riding.

Moan, moan, moan! It was a cock up, I asked various people, over a
period of time. No one showed much interest. You never make mistakes,
right? Actually, forget I asked, I don’t think you do.

I had one. Count 'em. ONE <raises middle finger>!
Can I also offer “The Dobbie”? The act of arranging to meet someone for
a ride the next morning, and immediately going out and getting slaughtered,
only to meekly phone up LATE and say you are hung over.

Re: Re: Unicycling Vocab Change
I think a rolling uni-spin is a uni-spin in the air during a rolling hop.
There isn’t really a problem with the way stuff is named at traditional unicycling competitions, but nowadays a lot of people are just out there riding as opposed to riding around in gyms and hence are meeting up with non-unicyclists a lot more.
Personally I’ve never heard anyone use the term static hop, everyone I’ve met just says side-hop, forwards hop, back hop. Maybe it’d be different in the US, where a lot of people do standard skill and freestyle and stuff like that.

hi,
i just remembered a term i heard a few months ago. an “ET” it means revolving the wheel whilst doing a rolling hop, just like et on the bycycle. i really like this term and im using it with my mates at my club i hope it catches on. Theres one more trick with an original name!

Hmm, déja vu!
No, I think the Dobbie should be the act of flying up a hill on a Coker with 125s and overtaking another rider on (or even off of and pushing) his coker with 150s.
Sorry about that Arnold

Does anybody else use the term “Manual” or “Manualing” to describe gliding or
coasting?

I actually use the phrase “In my dreams” to refer to them. Come to think of it, I use that phrase for a lot of things.

I’m all for having the “accord” trick named after me. I think any crashes resulting in neck/head traumas should be referred to as accords.
Examples:
“I came out of those steps and almost accorded”
“He went over the hill and got a nasty accord”
