540 UNIspin Competition

Im in, although I dont feel I will be very competative seeing as I havnt
tried them and I have almost no free time now (I seem to get a huge
amount of work for my A-levels and it takes up near enough all my
time)

Name: Marcus
Unicycling for: about 11 months I think
Other tricks: too many to list
Ice Cream: Vanilla

I dont mind. I doubt I will be able to ride (for more than about 30
mins) untill our christmas break 🙁 I have way too much work to do,
even at christmas its asumed that I will be revising most of the time
seeing as I have a series of exams straight after I get back. I fear
its going to be like this untill the finish of my two years doing
A-levels 🙁 pretty depressing.

Good Luck Terry. Why bother with the 360 when you can go for the 540?
haha

Haha, I forgot this was only a 540 comp! I was just reading the stuff
each person was listing; name, how long unicycling, *other* tricks and
fav ice cream. 🙂 , so I chimed in. But I actually barely landed a 360
on my torker lx 20.

So a 540 just requires a somewhat faster spin and a higher/wider jump
off the pedals than a 360? Me thinks it's prolly at least 50% mental to
nail it...could this be true?:o

no, i'm thinking its 100 percent mental to LEARN it, the one time i have
kicked down and caught the pedals... i barely landed it... the
sketchiest thing i have ever done

i've never committed to learning it though, i'm in... that one was just
a super lucky fluke.

other tricks: some freestyle, 360 unispin, no flips, jumping over a
truck?
icecream... chocolate chip cookie dough FTW

Name: Matt
Unicycling for: A bit over a year
Other tricks: 360 unispin
Ice Cream: mint chocolate chip

I have wanted to land this trick for a long time and I was thinking
about a comp for it to. I've tried them a bit and I was getting pretty
close about a month ago (see one of the last clips in my vid that's
linked in my sig) but Ive barely ridden since then and I pretty much
lost it all.

Hopefully this works out well.

I might practice it tonight seeing as how my plans for the evening just
got wrecked.

I would say definitely not. There is a lot of technique and timing
involved.

Good luck! I really want to get this trick but its really hard. I almost
have the spin but the landing is impossible for me right now. Id rather
just work on my flips.
Name: Tim
Riding: almost two years?
Other tricks: 360 unispin, crankflip, and a few other lame tricks
Ice Cream: Mint Chip right now
