  1. Ok so I just tried this weird trick and what you do is start off hopping
    sif, loosen the seat (if you have a quick release) then hit the seat so
    it does a 720! it's my new trick!

    Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

    It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
    your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
    doubt.

    Don't worry about looking like a dork for diff color cranks. You ride a
    uni, lol.

  12. Seems more like a novelty trick to do.

    Cause if you loosen your seat post, and try to jump, down a set or gap
    to do the trick with, you will end up pulling the saddle and seat post
    right out of the uni.

    With enough force you'd probably end up smacking your own face. =p

    Novelty yes.
    Could be accomplished with a specially made novelty unicycle.

    Someone (Guy Hansen?) has made such a novelty unicycle. It has been at
    a couple of the USA conventions. The seat post is held in the frame by
    a bearing arrangement so the seat post is free to spin. Challenging to
    ride. Very much a novelty unicycle.

    I have heard of the bearing setup that you mentioned. It sounds like a
    lot of fun.

    The closest I have got to it though is using my friends uni and riding
    with the clamp unclamped. lol

    It was quite fun, I almost manged to ride, take feet off the pedals,
    then spin myself on the seat, and then land back facing the original
    direction and pedal away, but I missed the pedal on the way around and
    fell. It was fun trying it.

    I cant do it on my nimbus II frame though, cause if I unclamp my
    seatpost, it will fall through the frame and hit my tire.

  15. Someone did the seat spin thingy on their cocker a while ago, and made a
    thread about it. I could find it but im too lazy. Anyway, it does seem
    rather novelty, and when you tighten it, it would probly be crooked, or
    at a different hight, that would cause problems.

    That is exactly what I was thinking...I don't think it would look cool
    or be useful for anything. Easy too. So it would have like no
    difficulty and look bad imo.

    Someone should make a novelty unicycle that has this bearing
    arrangement but have it so it gets activated by a clutch mechanism,
    either from a clutch-lever near the handle, or else maybe whenever all
    the weight's taken off both pedals... haha better still, add a motor or
    else elastic mechanism so you'd have a button to make the wheel do
    heaps of unispins!

    It would be kinda cool to do seat-in unispins where u just kick the
    wheel around...

    The mechanism could be built in such a way that when you release the
    clutch, the seat won't lock into place again until it hits a perfect
    alignment with the wheel.
