just recently i got decent pedals and shorter cranks for my freestyle
unicycle, pumped the tyre up a bit more and let myself loose on the
floor.
i have to say that i never thought that changing my unicycle a little
bit would make so much diference.
i still can't stand up wheelwalk but i can nearly pirrouete now, and my
transitions into seat drag and gliding are starting to happen.
i kind of though that unispins would be harder with short cranks but it
turns out i was wrong.
also when juggling on the unicycle the 110mm cranks make everything much
easier and more controlled.
i've been planning to put some pedal pins inthe crown to make standup
esier and then cut some of the foam out of the seat to make it thinner
(kh seat far too fat to grab onto confortably)
and the seat post clamp i have has too many sharp edges.
one day i may get a frame with lower tyre clearance, but i think that
would be a bit obsessive.
its nice to get "free" extra skill points by upgrading my unicycle, but
i suspect that only minimal improvements can be had without good old
fashioned practice.
