Dirt jumping a unicycle.

Since you can't build up a whole lot of speed on a unicycle ramps aren't
a lot of use since they are made to be used with lots of speed to clear
large objects. I'm sure people have gone off dirt ramps on a uni but not
in the same sense as on a dirtbike that can go really fast.

yeah i know about the speed.
i jump off about a foot high ramp alot,its not very impressive or
challenging or anything,and you cant get very much air,but its fun.

I'd love to see it. I ride my Muni at the local BMX track and just
wobbling over the top of the bumps is my goal.

Dylan does a pretty good jump in U-2, and a great crash too.

If you made an impossible wheel with a frame and seat you could do it,
think of the posibilities..........

If you're going really fast you can get a bit of air off a ramp,
although not as much as a bike.

If someone's put a jump on a downhill, you can get quite big jumps off
them. You really need to be able to go at >15mph to get any useful
height though. If you have a 26" wheel on a good downhill you can get
faster than that. A 1-2 foot ramp is a good size for a uni. On a steeper
downhill you get effectively more height because the ground falls away
from you.

I've done this once or twice accidentally and it's weird, you kind of
have to keep spinning the wheel while you're flying, or else you get
kicked off when you start the landing.

It seems to me that the best way to do this would be from downhill
gliding at speeds of 15+mph. Then it should be possible to jump at least
a few feet. Landing properly would be a problem, but it could probably
be done.
