  2. its not much harder.. the only thing is that you have to let go of the
    seat when you spin... other than that just practice.

    You can actually use hold on to the seat the whole time if you want, I
    do. Ive seen a video of Sabin Arditty doing a 540 while holding on to
    the seat the whole time.

    I think the key is to use one hand to spin the seat, and the other to
    guide it. I use a weird hand position (different then most people) but
    it works for me. I spin it to the left, holding the back of the seat
    with my left hand and the the right side of the seat with my left hand
    near the front.

    As for practicing, watch alot of videos. I think there is a slow motion
    one on the street wiki page (google street unicycling wiki). Practice
    the spin, and when you are confident with that go for the land. If you
    have a camera, take some video and post it to get more help.

    Hope that wasnt too confusing.

  6. shot guys.yea i think a bit of persistent practice wil do it.thats just
    the problem cause the seat seems to want to spin away.Goodluck doing it
    on your 24. I'v seen it done b4 and you need to hop way higher and
    start the spinning the second it leaves the ground.

    Hey Jason, Remember me from New Plymouth weekend? I found when learning
    360's that I would hold the saddle from start to finish, and what these
    other guys have said is spot on. Perhaps try doing 360 unispin jump
    mounts for a while as this helps you get the feel of the unispin
    motions.
    Don't forget to sign up to the New Zealand forums at

    I have seen people do them both ways to learn. I really perfer to learn
    them so sif to avoid those painful failed attempts. How ever you learn
    them will probably be easier for you after that so you might be able to
    choose.

    I know cody learned them to si and has a hard time doing them to sif. I
    can do them both ways but to sif is much more comfortable.
