  1. hi I can't figure out how to do a no footer🙁 my feet get like 1/4 of
    an inch off the pedals and then my uni rolls out from under me. can
    someone post a clip of them doing one?

  2. you need to hold the tire really well to do a no footer...it will come
    with practice!

  4. there are steps i learned them by.

    1: just start by jumping off the cranks. land off the unicycle.
    2: Jump off cranks/pedals, land on cranks.
    3: Jump off cranks/pedals, throw legs out a wee bit, bring back in,
    land on cranks
    4: Jump off cranks/pedals, throw legs WAY out, pull back in, land on
    cranks.

    Be sure to have each progession down relatively solid before mowing up
    and onward. they aren't really too hard... if you practice for about an
    hour or two just doing those, you'll surprise yourself.

    edit: when jumping off cranks, try to have the tire NOT leave the
    ground. a little is ok, but you don't want to bring the uni too far up
    into the air with you.

  5. I'm not understanding what the heck a "no footer" is....I thought he
    meant coasting at first...

  6. no.
    a no footer is where you hop off the pedals, throw your feet out, and
    land back ON the cranks or pedals. kindo f like a unispin with no
    spinning of the uni.

  7. A no footer is when you jump and take both feet off the pedals and land
    back on the pedals.

    Are you doing them rolling or static?

    I really need help with rolling no footers, whenether i do them the
    wheel keeps turning in the air so i cant land back on.

  8. if your doing it static (standing still not rolling or anything) then:
    you have to hold the seat with like an invisible arm, just dont put any
    pressure on it, jump an inch or two the first time and keep going
    higher and higher, as you get higher its harder to keep the unicycle in
    the same place, it just takes practice

  10. WEll if its shootin away from you then You might be putting weight on
    the uni with your hand...jump off and dont push down on the uni with
    your hands.., Yeah I see how peopele can get confused, there is the no
    footers that Mornish is aksing about, there are the no footers lie Adam
    Ryznar did in UNiverse, and there is COasting and gliding...But no
    footers are a great way of learning to unispin, so keep it up and try
    to get em high..

  13. Some people jump straight up and some do more of an extention with their
    legs, I think an extention looks alot better. As for it shooting out,
    everything that Cody said is what I would tell you, it will only slip
    out if you push it down, just jump off it and land back on with no
    force on the uni inbetween.

    Xavier Collos does a rolling no footer down some stairs in his vener
    video. When he extends his legs he reaches down and holds the tire.
