  2. I do it!

    I havent been able to in a long time, cause my bike was stolen, so now
    all i have left is my uni, and the other uni I broke a few days ago.

    Theres a lot of tricks that you can learn really fast, do a google
    search, youll find lots of written out guides to do tricks, and its
    great fun, and looks really nice when done smoothly.

    Goodjob on the tailwhip, just gotta stick the landing and ride off and
    youll have it, now for firehydrents, cherry pickers, rock walks (sp?),
    decades, the list goes on.

  4. i don't do it but I think I might start. i was going to start it until
    i got into unicycling. I liked it alot and I could do just really
    little. i might start but I still think unicycling will be better

  6. I used to ride a really old mongoose rouge, One thing that was very easy
    to me, and impressed the most people, is to ride, put your feet on the
    frame right by your seat, then stand up and ride no handed standing up,
    I would do it on busy rodes that would be sloped downwards and keep up
    with the cars, if i fell, it would suck, luckily i never wrecked.

    You don't really need a platform for that trick, but it helps. The
    trick is called a framestand. If you get really good at it, you can
    try it one footed. Then try a backwards framestand. Thats a good deal
    harder.
    There is also "surfing", where one foot is on the handlebars and the
    other is on the seat. Fun trick. And if you are really brave, try a
    "bar ride" where both foot are on the handlegrips and you stand up and
    try to stay balanced. I never tried that one, but can do all the
    others quite well!

  14. At the last melbourne unicycle meet there was a big group of flatland
    bmx..ists just near where we were. It was insane the stuff that they
    were doing. If i didn't unicycle, i'd definately take it up.

    I stilll can't get over the stuff that they were doing!!

    well.. to answer the question in the origional post, no i don't
    flatland bmx.

  15. I used to ride BMX. I used to ride street and park, but when i
    discovered unicycling i switched. I was really heavily into it and
    almost started my own company 'www.voodoo-bikes.tk'
    (http://voodoo-unicycles.tk/) A lot of content on the site is down
    because i am replacing it with unicycle related stuff.
    The url is voodoo-unicycles because i am starting to swap Bmx stuff for
    Unicycle stuff.

    Rock on!

    Surfing is not that easy! Maybe for you it is, some people are a
    natural at it. My old riding buddy was like that, he could ride in
    tight little circle and even propel himself by pumping the bike while
    surfing! He could also go down hills at insane speed and be totally
    relaxed, standing on top of the bike. I've also seen him whip it out
    and start peeing while surfing. Thats funny!😄
