  2. I use my front foot to do the plant. ๐Ÿ™ Sorry Brutha.

    If you do figure out how to do it with the back, Id consider that a
    harder trick. Like fakie in skating. (is that right? i dont skate
    ahha)

    Even let it rotate so the pedals are 180 degrees diff when you land.
    Thatd be cool. But im sure you wanna crawl before you walk.

    Good Luck man. Im sure you can do it. ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. I do it with my back foot and when i do a normal footplant, i push the
    wheel 180 like a 1 footed rev (not on purpose but it happens every time)
    then when i jump off the ledge, i pull it back so i land like i normally
    hop. So its like a 180 rev back then another one forwards.๐Ÿ˜„

  4. hmmm, with the backfoot.... you could try something like right when you
    hop pull the unicycle back a little bit so the wheel starts to move
    backwards, like what they do in a crankflip to get the wheel to spin
    backwards. but don't take your front foot off the pedal, so the wheel
    can't spin. that might work, otherwise.... I'm outta ideas. If I did
    crankflips, I would also use my backfoot because that how I do
    pedalgrabs, so I'm gonna try it on my next ride and see if I can give
    you better advice. good luck!
