Ok I am wanting to know if I just created a trick or if someone has done it before. I hope you can understand this. Ok it is like a backside 180 crank grab. You ride next to a big curb or step high enough to do a crank grab on. Say it is like how I ride.(The curb is on the left.) Ride parallel to it. Jump and do a 180 to the right(turn opposite to the curb) and land a crank grab onto the curb.(You will land on the right crank.) You will be now facing the opposite of what you were. Then turn to the right again (towards the curb) and land back on the ground.( I guess you could 180 up onto the curb.)
I can't land it yet but I am still trying. I hope you can understand this. I am just wondering. Thanks. Kelly.
A more descriptive name for this trick would be 180 crank grab. 'Backside' doesn't really mean anything in terms of unicycling. I can do this trick, too.
this isnt the same trick that dan heaton does in U2. Kelly is saying that you hop and turn ally oop into the pedal grab. which means if the ledge is on your left, you turn 180 to your right. this makes the trick potentially much harder. you always have to remember that no matter what the trick involving spinning something, there are always 2 possible directions to spin. which means that a 180 down 8 stairs your natural way would not involve as much skill as say a 180 down 6 stairs your unnatural way.
Does a trick count as being invented if you merely think it up? I'd give more credit to the person who did it, even if it was because someone else gave them the idea.
Otherwise I've invented lots and lots of tricks, though I've only performed a handful of them...
