ok ive been practicing unispins for at least a total of 15 hours and
still havent landed a single one. ive been practicing everyday for a
month now and cant even land a 180. so how long did it some of you?

A unispin is when you turn while hopping, right? I went from 90 to 180
in about a month, trying it 2 or 3 times a day. It's more leg strength
than anything else, as far as I can tell.

no, its where you jump off the unicycle and spin it under you. With a
180 you land with the unicycle backwards

i tried this, and it just made it harder for me. What i did was
practiced spining the uni fast just standing near it. Once i had that
down i got on and tried
and tried and tried. make sure you kick your legs out and spin quick.
Good Luck
