A static hop is a hop while not moving. A rolling hop is a hop while
you are rolling (moving).

Hey, im hearing about all these new tricks, wondering if people could
tell me an example of wht they are, small spin?

One footer no footer?

I can prolly do all these, idk, but im not informed on wht their actual
names are?

skate mount

acid drop mount

then wht does static mean like static hop?

half flip?

super wrap?

well hope i can get some info bout it. thx😕

one footed riding-riding w/ one foot

no footer- an airborn trick where your feet are taken off the pedals

skate mount-pushing a BC wheel w/ one foot and jumping on and riding

acid drop-my trick- hold the unicycle sideways in front of you, jump
and land on the unicycle

static is still ... not rolling

half flip is 1/2 of a crankflip

i have never heard of a super wrap, but a seat wrap is when you wrap
your leg around the seat

A super wrap is something like wrapping both legs around the seat,
twice...it looks more like wrapping the seat around your legs actually.
Dan Heaton does it in his section of Defect.
I think that's what it is anyway.

nope, that's a leg wrap. A seat wrap is where you wrap the seat around
you, while you are standing on the cranks (well, this is actually two
leg wraps, but whatever).

a One Footer is a No Footer with one Foot resting on the pedal during
air time.

Hey we had a discussion on wraps and leg arounds in this thread:
http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55627

These are the correct/standard names:

Blegas78 said:

Fair enough. Then how does everybody like this revision:

*Leg Around* - Standing on one crank or pedal, bring the other foot
around the seat back to the starting pedal.

'Leg around on the Standard Skill List (video)'
(http://www.unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=w320240legaround) (he does
it as an idle as opposed to hopping on the cranks)

*Seat Wrap* - Bring the seat all the way around your body, essentially
a Leg Wrap with one foot, then pass the seat behind your back, then
perform another Leg wrap in the opposite direction as your other foot.

'Here is me (skate4flip) doing a Wrap (seatwrap) from Feb 06'
(http://tinyurl.com/yel3po)

*Super Wrap* - Basically a seat wrap but with wrapping each foot around
the seat one more time. In other words, a Leg Wrap straight into a
Seat Wrap straight into another Leg wrap with the other foot.

I did edit the post a bit, from the orignal thread (adding in video
links and what not)

Don't mean to be mean but is the only thing that differentiates your
trick from others previously done (by kevin mc mullin, myself and
probably others) the fact that you hold the unicycle sideways? Because
that seem pretty pointless.

naw, it makes a big difference, because in your trick you could hold it
1" off the ground and jump on and it would be the same trick, but w/
the acid drop...it has to be sideways, then the uni has to travel from
your chest area to your feet.

and yes, that does mean that some of the "acid drops" I did were not
acid drops at all, but cavemans.

Not really, you seem to drop the uni before you jump so most of them
are just jump mounts.
Here is a frame I took from one of your 180 acid drops right before you
jumped off the ground.

you also land on the uni before you hit the ground...

Hallo,

skilewis74 said:

en.wikipedia.orgStreet unicycling"Open ↗

This is a good beginning. (someone should translate it for german
wikipedia.😄 )

But i missed one.
For the last weeks i spend much time in static tricks.
The day, Amanda posted her girlsvideo, we lerned the trick, you can see
in Celine's part, where she blocks the tire with her hand and lift her
body to the other side of the uni.
But what's the correct name of this trick?

Hope somebody can understand my terrible english and this silly
description... :o

Thanks!
Uli

Acids are kinda lame. Cool for one year riders and such, because to
those guys it will be hard to learn. But after 2 years I say, don't do
them anymore. Show your skill from what you can do on the uni, not to
get on the uni.
