    I think he's saying that four is a little much and variations of
    smaller flips are more interesting. And that just getting good at fast
    flips doesnt make a name for you in unicycling but if its fun and
    that's what youre after then feel free to go for it. But maybe not.

    Haha, yeah.

    Almost every trick being pushed will get the "This trick sucks, why do
    it? Just focus on what we have now." type of thing.

    But if that was the case, we'd all be happy with 180 unispins and
    revs.

    Keep pushing the limits guys.

    You are exactly right. but as i said above, shaun's just an idiot
    sometimes.

    pretty sure i would love whomever land quadruples first. that would be
    the sickest trick i will have ever seen.

    Blind tricks are pointless, but a quadruple flip is something no-one
    can do. I wonder what Shaun said about triples before he could do
    them?

    Is a quad flip any more pointless than a 900 unispin?

    some times the best thing in life are the pointless things. theyre
    deffinetly more fun and its good to know that doing some of these
    pointless things annoys others at the same time, by saying this i do a
    lot of stupidly pointless stuff and people always moan😠 if its fun
    to do then do it!!

  14. this thread will end like the 900 unispin thread.

    too hard and buried in more relevant posts.

    Anyways before my accident I couldn't even crankflip so I'd like to see
    a quadruple so best of luck 😄

    Its not as if we or the 900 unispin people are giving up - its a hard
    trick so we are going to keep trying. There won't be something to say
    about it every day so it will inevitably be burried but when someone
    gets close or lands it, its going to come right back to the top.
    Neither this nor the 900 unispin thread have "ended" its just a matter
    of time.
