360 Unispins

the main tip I give people is hand positioning...The noob hand
positioning is puting one hand on the handle and another near the
bumper...The best way is to keep them both on one side and more toward
the middle, I tried takin a pic on my phone this might help..Hold the
seat like this...

That is really really crazy how you took the picture with both your
hands in it.
But anyway.
I agree with what you're saying, you need your hands as in the first
picture so that you can really spin it (mostly using the hand in the
middle of the seat) instead of just rotating it.
Try just spinning your unicycle 360 degrees in one spot.

Well then it seems you are a lil new to it but learning fast! Well hay
dude try doing it with the different hand posotioning next time you
ride, jsut for laughs, its actually a lot better..youl find you can
land tricks more often like that. Its how I, Spencer, Shaun Johanneson,
Jacinto Ayuso, Dan Heaton, Sabin Arditty, Keaton Miller...bout 50 more
riders with experience do it. Its actually a much nicer way dude give
it a shot :-D

That's a bummer, your eyes seem to be pretty low resolution and grainy.
But handy! 🙂 Could you show a shot of your hand position/location
when the seat is about halfway around? *Blink*

John, from the position that cody has given us, I would then use my
right hand, the one closest to the handle, to spin the uni. The other
hand I would really only use to balance the uni before and after the
spin, So basically, jump and spin the uni with your right hand.
Obviously this changes depending on what hands you use and what way you
spin, if you hold the uni like Cody it would be the left hand I would
be spinning with.

Hope that was clear and hope it helps.

Ohh im sorry I forgot to tell which way I spin lol. I unispin to the
left and I use that same hand possitioning for 180, 270, 360, and 540
unispins 😄. I kinda use both hands to spin and my left hand guides it
through the spin.....Here watch a 540...

Okay thanks for the tips.

I just went out and practiced a bit but everythings all wet and slushy
so i didnt get too far.

Do you have to kick your legs out alot farther then when doing 180's?
