like 2 tries.
Darn. My prev msg got erased. Ok let me repeat.
Know what? He's right. It IS easier than you think. I managed to get it
with a success rate of 30-40% in about 30 min of learning (it could be
higher but I'm dead tired so if you've got stamina, it's way easier).
Here's some tips and how I learnt in chronological order.
I can jump mount sif to begin with almost perfectly with the
occassional slip. I started bracing myself for this by holding the uni
a few inches off the ground then jumping and landing the pedals. I did
this for about 5-10 minutes and ended up with a success rate of about
70%.
Next, I went through the motions of holding the uni horizontal, letting
go, jumping, then landing my weight on the seat. I practised by not
landing on the pedals at all so I can get a feel and build my guts.
When I'm comfortable, which really takes about 5 minutes as well, I
went for it. Of course, I bailed a couple of times before I finally got
brave enough to land a rough version of it.
I'm still not as smooth as the guy in the video but I guess that comes
with practice. The trick really looks a lot more intimidating than it
is so just go for it! For the record, I can't suicide on my 20" (I had
landed a few before on my 24" ironically) because I've no guts and I
can't unispin so neither are requirements.
