  2. the main tip I give people is hand positioning...The noob hand
    positioning is puting one hand on the handle and another near the
    bumper...The best way is to keep them both on one side and more toward
    the middle, I tried takin a pic on my phone this might help..Hold the
    seat like this...

  5. That is really really crazy how you took the picture with both your
    hands in it.
    But anyway.
    I agree with what you're saying, you need your hands as in the first
    picture so that you can really spin it (mostly using the hand in the
    middle of the seat) instead of just rotating it.
    Try just spinning your unicycle 360 degrees in one spot.

  11. Well then it seems you are a lil new to it but learning fast! Well hay
    dude try doing it with the different hand posotioning next time you
    ride, jsut for laughs, its actually a lot better..youl find you can
    land tricks more often like that. Its how I, Spencer, Shaun Johanneson,
    Jacinto Ayuso, Dan Heaton, Sabin Arditty, Keaton Miller...bout 50 more
    riders with experience do it. Its actually a much nicer way dude give
    it a shot :-D

    That's a bummer, your eyes seem to be pretty low resolution and grainy.
    But handy! 🙂 Could you show a shot of your hand position/location
    when the seat is about halfway around? *Blink*

    John, from the position that cody has given us, I would then use my
    right hand, the one closest to the handle, to spin the uni. The other
    hand I would really only use to balance the uni before and after the
    spin, So basically, jump and spin the uni with your right hand.
    Obviously this changes depending on what hands you use and what way you
    spin, if you hold the uni like Cody it would be the left hand I would
    be spinning with.

    Hope that was clear and hope it helps.

  16. Ohh im sorry I forgot to tell which way I spin lol. I unispin to the
    left and I use that same hand possitioning for 180, 270, 360, and 540
    unispins 😄. I kinda use both hands to spin and my left hand guides it
    through the spin.....Here watch a 540...

  18. Okay thanks for the tips.

    I just went out and practiced a bit but everythings all wet and slushy
    so i didnt get too far.

    Do you have to kick your legs out alot farther then when doing 180's?
