Tutorial Requests

I think one thing that a lot of beginner riders are looking for is a
nice solid unispin tutorial. Namely 180 and 360 unispins. Hand
placement and focus on commitment is what they really need. Thats cool
that you are doing this.

This is tricky... I'm guessing the tutorials would be view mostly by the
general public? A simple tutorial on how to ride would probably be best
I guess...

+1.

If it's going to be for the general public doing tutorials on 360
unispins might look cool, but when some kid goes out there on his brand
new sun 20" and realizes he can't even ride 1 foot ahead of him, he
might not want to continue with the sport. In an arena like that,
attract people to the sport giving them something that looks possible
and is more bennificial to them. 360 unispons are for unicyclists.
People that view that site probably aren't unicyclists.

If you just want to make uni'ing look cool while giving a "life
message" then just do a trick video and record some message over it or
something.....

I agree with what the above posters (forgot their names) have said.

If you want to make a tutorial for fellow unicyclists, like you did the
7spin tutorial, then maybe something more simple, but cool looking
would be appropriate for a site like that. Maybe a full varial or
something like that would be cool to keep a viewer's attention, and
might get more people involved in this sport.

It was your doubleflip in defect that got me riding, and even though I
couldn't do it from the start, I still kept with it..

Anybody who quits unicycling after realizing how hard a 3spin really is
at the start, obviously isn't serious about the sport anyway.

I would mainly like a 360 unispin tutorial because I've seen how great
your 720 one was I want to learn how to 3 spin. This is also just a
pretty important and popular trick for street riding.

Also a grinding one would be cool and for the more advanced riders
maybe trey flip or something. Or maybe one about body varials or tricks
that have these. I'm not good enough to attempt anything like that yet
though :P

I don't think you should waste your skills on just a "how to unicycle"
tutorial as there are already plenty of those and it doesn't take the
worlds best street rider to make one.

Anyway I think you're an awesome rider and look forward to whatever you
come up with.

I think something that goes from the first simple steps of explaining
how to ride, to some moderate but not too deeply detailed explanation
of some of the simple tricks. Like after you tell them how to ride you
tell them you can do trick too, and here is a couple tips on where to
srart. What brian said for unispin is good. and maybe something with
flipping and tips to reach these goals. Of course you will have to show
what its like at the end adding these spins a and flips together just
to show the limitless possibilities of the sport.

You have a medium that could reach a lot of people, and could find it's
way into schools.. Great demographic. Sure there are a lot of other
sources of instructional material out there, but it would be cool to
have a cohesive package that does include everything from beginning to
advanced tricks.. I don't think you would be wasting your time teaching
intro stuff because it shows that a top uni rider doesn't think he's
wasting his time dealing with beginners.

I have a lot of respect for you because you are spending a lot of
energy being a positive role model and are doing your best to increase
the number of riders. Aside from this endeavor, it seems like the
manufacturers would organize a tour of schools and have their sponsored
riders do demonstrations for school assemblies... With music,
choreographed as it were.. Full events to really make street, freestyle
or trials something everyone would want to get into. Of course, Muni
and the others disciplines would benefit.

With so much negative stuff out there I gotta believe there would be a
lot of schools out there that would be receptive to hosting events like
this.

I think you should put in something about flow, style, and just what
makes up a good well rounded street ride.

you should get some people, for the start of your video to shout "wheres
your other wheel", and then go up and talk about uni'ing and explain it
(have it be soomone who can ride) "teach" them how to ride, and then
"teach" them a trick
