I finally went from a crank grab to tire!! ๐ It actually isnt very hard if you just try it.. I found that what really helps is to tilt your unicycle kinda sideways to the way you're jumping. I know people explained this.. but I found it hard to understand, so i drew everyone a picture!!!!!! ๐
I know that it _is_ the greatest picture ever, but we arent here so discuss my beautiful art.. so no need to tell me how awesome it is ๐
