so recently my favorite trick to do has been tire grabs off of drops and stairs and stuff. i have been doing front and back tire grabs, front grabs are easy. but grabbing the back is hard because i have to bend funny to reach the tire. anyways, i was thinking and i have never really seen anyone else do back tire grabs and was just wondering who else does them. and have you found any ways to make it easier?
i do them sometimes 🙂 i don't know exaclty how i do them, but i think i do bend funny ... like a sideways V and i grab it just behind the frame... but i might reach btw my legs :/ ill pay attention next time i do one and get back to you

*><> Unicycle For Christ <>< PM me if you would like to join!!!* ok i have been riding for 3 years, doing tricks for 6 months and being sorta hardcore for 3 months (before that the only trick i did was a hop-180 to backwards riding or a spin off of a wall or something
yea, im kinda tall (aabout 6ft 1in) so i think that is making it feel even more awkward. the way i do it sounds kinda like you skrobo, i usually grab with my right hand, so i throw my right shoulder back so that my upper body is twisted to the right. at the same time i am lifting my legs and the uni backwards towards my back so that i can then make the grab. (i dont know if that explanation made any sense to you guys at all, it sounds better in my head)
im thinking of trying it seat out once i am a little more proficient at seat out riding.
thats pretty sick, i wanna try that now. i have never seen it done...but i dont really ever ride with anyone else. so im not really the authority on what has been done haha
thats how i want to try it seat out, except grabbing behind my leg.
I learnt off a curb.. I just like to hop high when I do them it makes it look way better.. thts my fav tire grab even tho i did em over bigger stairs.. just cauz I hoped so high for that one..
