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

    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

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

    yeah exactly :/
    now I do them w/ the uni sideways and its actually kinda challenging
    you also land on the uni before you hit the ground...

  14. Hallo,

    skilewis74 said:

    en.wikipedia.orgStreet unicycling"

    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!

  15. 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.
