  1. How do you hop no-handed? I'm real good at hopping as long as one hand
    is holding the seat. I'm the only one that can hop in my unicycle club
    and they always try to get me to do it without holding the seat. It
    seems impossible because I can't grip the seat tight enough with my
    inner thighs to do a controlled hop. I've heard of people jumping rope
    on unicycles so it is possible, isn't it?

  2. It is possable, i do it a lot when im just messing around =p

    But sometimes the seat height has affect on, cause i have my seat set
    so when im standing up, the seat is somewhat below the middle of my
    theighs, and then just practice gripping and jumping =p

  4. you don't have to grip the seat that tightly, the real trick is getting
    the uni up from the bouncing of the tire, when i do it I usually do a
    little bounce/prehop thingy to bounce the tire

  5. Ok im bored so I made a movie of me hopping no handed, its hard to see
    with my crappy camera, but any ways, when you watch you will see that i
    compress the tire before i hop making it so i don't have to squeez as
    hard with my legs, hop it helps🙂 'MOVIE RIGHT HERE'
