  6. you put it the same way as you do a 180 unispin... but you can teach
    your unicycle to do a 360 unispin itself... never underestimate the
    brain of a unicycle

  7. hahaha I agree.. but when I used to learn unispin my hand placement was
    pretty messed up.. when I went up to 360 it got normal.. just look at
    videos of ppl..

  9. well then just put your hands the way your comfortable with it.. that's
    what everyone does.. and by the way shaun is pretty much a spin master
    too.. he did do a 720 unispin..but yea.. put your hands how you think
    it feels right for you.. it can cahnge from ppl to ppléé

  13. ive only ever seen shaun do one 720...but thats beside the point...now i
    cant even 180 but what ive noticed form watching other people is that
    the hand position for 360 is the same as for 180 ...you just spin the
    uni faster and jump higher to allow more time for the spin. i hope that
    helps

    oh maybe it just looks like 720 cuz his feet go like a million feet in
    the air and it spins FAST

    so could i let it do part of the spin w/o my hands on it , or at least
    barely holding it to keep it upright?

    but wen u do a 180 u dont need to take ur hands off the seat, but wen u
    do 360, if u dont have them in the right position they get tangled, i
    think u may need to let go of the saddle and catch it agen....

  16. Before I learned 360s I held the seat with one hand on the front and one
    on the back for 180 unispins, then it got complicated when I wanted to
    do 360s. The best way I have found for me is to hold both my hands on
    the left side of the seat with my right hand in front and my left one
    in back. I spin it clockwise and I am right handed so if any of that is
    different for you then that might vary. I think that Jeff (skate4flip)
    holds it with one hand one the side near the front and the other hand
    on the back of the seat. So there are a couple different ways of doing
    it. Some people let go of the seat and some don't.
    'Here' (http://tinyurl.com/d4f9s) is a clip of my first couple of 360
    unispins, you can see my hand position in the second angle.

  17. well for my hand position, i put my right hand on the left side of the
    front end. and i put my left hand on the right side of back of the
    seat. then i let her rip and spin it... well basicly that how my hands
    are............. b4 i learned to do 360 uni spin i learned 270 uni spin
    on to the wheel. i would recremend wearing some six six ones when
    practiceing or you will be a war amp. and DONT LEARN IN SIDE UR
    HOUSE!!! i started that way cuz it was snowing out. that resulted in a
    unicycle threw the wall..... and i am pritty sure that xav can do
    720's... (just to let you guys know i think i invented a new
    trick and it will be in my next movie, so dont ask what it is... and i
    can do that one trick where you step on the tire then wrap around and
    land on the pedals, if u dont know what i mean i will have it in my
    next movie as well...... i didnt mean to threadjack so just continue
    with this convo...)

    EDIT: i spin the uni clockwise

  18. unijesse...unless you have rubber arms yes you will have to let go of
    the uni for the spin. but it probly wont fall because its spinning and
    you really dont let go of it for that long.

  19. No, you don't have to let go. I have seen people do them without letting
    go. I would say most people do though. If you do let go just
    concentrate on when you have to catch it again so its straight.
