Tricks.

Well, yesterday I managed to complete my first reverse side mount 😄
(even though I can't do the normal side mount)

I did some trials on a friends unicycle for the first time in since a
couple of months. I rolling hopped a 3 stair first go, and hopped up
something about 2/3 of a 20 inch wheel height quite easily. Not much
compared to my freestyle but it was good to do some trials for a
change.

In freestyle i recently picked up seat in front (transition from seat
drag to seat in front). I've now done it 4 times since last week. I
"landed" my first slick one footed back spin on the weekend and got a
few on camera. and my spins/pirouettes are improving, i almost got the
full 3 revs required for pirouette. Oh yeah i also landed 4 uni spins
without shinpads on the weekend which was a big step in confidence for
me.

In general i had quite a good week end.

I learnt how to one foot idle with my right foot, I didn't really have
to learn though, it was just matter of doing it.😄

I finally managed to walk the wheel 10M and ride it out, thus completing
the final skill for level 5.

also, in the process of learning how to wheel walk, I glided (glid?) for
about one and a half revolutions. Ok, so the soles of my shoes were wet,
and I just didn't have any traction, but hey, a trick's a trick.

I think we need to work out what we're calling these grinds. We need to
follow prolly a similar naming thing to skating for grinds.

So can any skaters tell me what defines something as a grind, and what
defines things as a slide. Like 50/50 is a *grind*, yet you have tail
and nose *slides* am I right? It seems to me like if it's on the metal
it's a grind, anything else it's a slide. Doesn't really work with
unicycling since it's almost all metal, but I guess pedals are either
plastic or metal aren't they so that could be the slide part?

So maybe:

Crank Grind
Pedal Slide

Has anyone pulled off that frame grind one yet that I read about in an
old thread?

I'm not a skater, but you are right.

If you are grinding on the metal of the skateboard, it's a grind, like
nosegrind, 50-50 and so on.
If you are sliding on the board, it's a slide, like noseslide,
tailslide, boardslide...

For unis, i would call it grinding for pedal and crank.

I dunno, I think pedal slide sounds better personally. It's just
personal opinion but I think it should be:

Crank Grind
Pedal Slide
Frame Grind

There´s certain sections of trails we can´t seem to get down. Too
rocky, too many continuous drops, no way to stop and hop and negotiate
in mid stream.

Somebody got the crazy idea that, trying these sections seat-in was the
problem, and that if one ever got good enough riding seat-out (far less
scary to bail seat-out, and rolling drops are easier as well), any
section might be possible. So we started practicing riding seat
out--first off curbs, and now going down big sets of stairs. It feels
totally weird and unstable at first, and works your legs like crazy.
But we´re getting this trick, if you could call it a trick, and pretty
soon I might start trying parts of local single tracks seat-out.

The idea might be a bust but practicing everything seat-out is a blast,
though tiring.
