Can anyone Unispin on a Muni? I have a Qu-ax 24" and i am rather envious of my friend who can unispin his trials uni. I want to know if anyone can actually do it, whether it is worth trying to learn or is just far too hard, as i suspect, cheers.

I haven't actually done it on a 24", but I imagine you just have to jump higher off of it and kick your legs out a little farther as to allow the wheel to spin between them.

I learned (sort of) on a uni just like your's. It is possible but more difficult. I didn't really practice very much, but I've done a few.

Riding a muni off-road is all about how practical you can make it over obstacles. Skills such as hopping, dropping and even log riding in some cases, can help when it comes to conquering the terrain.
For that reason a unispin wouldn't be worth learning to do on a muni. But then to me it doesn't seem to have much point on a trials or a freestyle uni either...

Perhaps for the enjoyment/thrill you generally get from doing tricks?
