360 unispin

You won't need to let go. I think the best way I can explain the hand
movement is twist the hand thats higher up on the seat around and kind
of grab it with your other hand so it doesn't get so twisted around.
Lol, sorry not the best explanation.

Hmmm, in that video it looks like Justin does let go of the seat.

I think I'll try both ways next time I'm out riding. Danke!!

i let go of the seat, but as long as your tire doesnt come off the
ground then you should be fine.

Just air the uni, spin it and you and let it go of the seat when you
can't hold on any more catch it when it have spin about 270 degrees and
then just snap those feet in. But don't jump as high as you think you
might, the higher you jump the harder it gets, um, just snap those feet
in. And air the uni.

Basicly described by everyone else here. Hold it all the way around if
possible given you the most control, your arm will twist. Then catch it
with the other hand as it comes around. Sorry couldnn't be more help

laters,

Make sure you don't take the unicycle off the ground. Try not to let go
(you'll have better control).

I don't have any tips (mostly cause I don't know how to do them) but
'here's' (http://tinyurl.com/3p8ne) a clip of Dan Heaton doing one.

There is also a clip of a 720 unispin in the 'sykoproductions gallery'

For a 360 degree uni-spin, you definitely need to let go. Start by just
spinning the seat and getting your hands used to the feeling of spinning
your seat more than 180. I would also recommend learning a 270 as well.
The hardest part is getting the timing straight with your mind and
feet. Strat with a 360 to seat in front as well.

hey everyone, decided to bump my post from like a million years ago,
because I have come a long way.

I'm REALLY REALLY close to landing the 360 unispin, -finally-. so yeah,
I'm pretty stoked about it. I can spin it the full 360, and land with
my back foot on the pedal, but I haven't gotten my front foot on yet.
the closest I've come is my front foot did hit the front pedal, but it
hit too far back so the pedal spun and I fell. soo....any tips? I
don't really know exactly what I'm asking for, just advice on how to
make sure my front foot is far enough forward to get on to the other
pedal, but so it's still out of the way during the actual spin so the
wheel won't hit it and the seat won't hit my leg..yeah. thanks in
advance

....bump....
if no one replies, then I expect I'll just plan on practicing a WHOLE
BUNCH, since, you know, that's generally how I get better at things (: I
would appreciate some tips though

I think, at this point, all you can really do is just practice and
concentrate on landing that foot on the pedal. Good luck.

You might consider landing on the cranks, I can't 360 unispin yet but it
helped a lot for the 180 unispin.
So that you only have to think about catching the wheel between your
feet.
