Street Skills

try jumping on things and overthings. like picnic tables, benches, learn
to ride down stairs then jump them... and learn the stuff above but
some of that stuff is pritty hard.

practice your standstills
they are very helpful

count the seconds that pass as you just 'stand' there - they will get
longer over time.

you should just make a video of what your riding is now, I'm sure it
will be just fine, I make vids and I can only hop like 1 foot on a
good, and besides after you get really good you can look back and see
how you progresed. and you should works on stairs and mayby ginds😉
and what not.

Learn skills from the standard 10 levels. I know, I know, they're not
EXTREME and AWESOME like street skills. But they provide a solid
foundation and will make you better all around.

Thanks guys! About what order should I try to do the things that mornish
listed? I've almost got one footed rideing down, and I'm working on
SIF, but I always wobble ant turn where I dont' want to turn. I can
almost land a unispin while holding on to a post or something. the
hardest part is lifting my feet out of the way.
Cool video, ivrinegr! Maybe I will make a video soon.
another question, After I trash my LX, what would be a good all around
uni for street, trials, and a little bit of MUni? Should I buy a trials
uni? would that work for street too? Thanks!

Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
doubt.

I'd say get a trials uni.

how much do you want to spend?

another thing you could do if you had enough money, is get a splined
freestyle uni(like spencer's) and get a 24" muni.

I want to spend a little more this time. With christmas, and some
saving, I hope to be able to spend a round 200, maybe 250. A splined
freestyle yould be good, and if my LX was still rolling at that time,
mybe I could sell that and get a 24 in LX and put a BMX tire on it,
just for every now and then.

talk to spencer and see how he likes his splined freestyle uni.
it's really cool. they aren't the best for jumping off and onto stuff,
but theyre great for flatland and technical tricks down sets.

I think your LX will last you for a while, until Christmas at LEAST.

Having trouble riding SIF? Practice.
Having trouble riding one-footed? Practice.
Having trouble hopping high? Practice SIF, and Practice.

Practice, practice, practice - It's what uni'ing is all about.

is he the BC'er?

It usually takes me only a couple of days to learn a skill. Like One
footed, I did ten revs a couple of times the first day, and I was
consitstantly landing ten revs the next. I think SIF will be my next
skill.

First, learn some crazy hard tricks. Think millions of seatwraps stand
up ww and unispins with varials. Whatever you feel like. Then take
everything and throw it together into a continous sting of uber
awesomeness. Or just throw a lot of cool tricks with combos. Or, just
listen to all the nice other people on this thread.

To answer your question about making your first video, it doesn't have
to be full of flashy moves and stuff like that...Matt and I's first
video ('unipwned'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/?g2_itemId=189701)) wasn't full of
flashy tricks, but we had a lot of fun planning, filming it, and
editing it, and in my opinion, that showed in the video. So just have
fun with it...you can make easy stuff look cool if you just put some
thought into it.

Thanks for the advice, Monkeyman. I Started shooting some footage today.
We have a pretty nice tripod, so I can do a lot of the stuff myself,
but there won't be a slot of panning shots because my little brother
doesn't have the steadiest hand! Maybey I'll get my dad or sister to
tape me. That's a decent video though; what you lacked (then) in skills
you made up for putting together a good video. We're going to the fair
grounds for a horse show next month, that should be some good riding!
Bleachers, benches, drops, stairs rails, all to myself! I'm gonna wait
untill I can get some footage of that to make the video.

computers acting really slow.
