  1. The trick in question is doing a no footer and while in the air wrapping
    your leg around the uni and landing back on the pedals.

    I cannot for the life of me land this, i havent seen anyone else ever
    do it.
    i have been trying to do this down a four stair and have only even come
    close to landing it twice.

    so has anyone else done this one and landed it?

    if you have, do you have any tips for me?

    If trees could scream would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
    We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

  2. I've thought about doing this trick, but I haven't tried it yet because
    it sounds kind of tricky. I think it's more of a No Footed Leg Wrap,
    because you're only doing one leg. I think a No Footed Seat Wrap would
    involve bringing the whole uni all the way around your body, then
    landing back on.

    In Shaun's movie ILL, I managed to land a No-Handed Leg Wrap, but it's
    kind of poorly filmed, really dark.

  3. I think it would be easier to just do a seatwrap in midair, and not
    worrying about getting both feet off...

    And it might be easier not going down a 4 stair too... maybe

  4. I have thought of it, I know people do them on pogo sticks but it would
    be much harder on a uni. It would be really cool to see done.

  5. i tried it for a while on flat ground and can land it static every once
    in a while but i have found that on flat ground doing it moving is
    wayyy harder. also it doesnt look as cool as doing it down a stairset
    or gap.

    once i get this trick dialed(i am confident that i will get it soon)
    then i am going to put together a video with this and some other tricks
    that i think might be original as i have never seen them done anywhere
    else...flips and spins get boring, it is time to bring street a new
    variety of tricks.

    edit: let me clarify since i feel like i havent explained the trick
    very well. When i do it static it is just like jumping up doing a no
    footer but i wrap by leg around the seat and land back on the pedals.
    It is the same thing moving, but contrary to what seems to be common
    sense it is easier doing it down a stair set or gap due to the extra
    time in the air.

    i have been having trouble getting my leg around fast enough, but
    practicing it static i think will improve my speed at it.

    also, perhaps i called it the wrong thing when i said seatwrap. is leg
    wrap more appropriate?

  6. how about a legover-flip? I think maybe you'd need to get good at
    crankflips where you only hold the back of the seat first.

    When i say legover I mean your backfoot comes across, forward and
    around the front of uni... and back onto the pedal.

    i would sure like to think so. only so much can be done with spins and
    flips.

  12. The name for it would be Leg around or Leg around reverse (at least that
    what it is when done static).

    In the air, it would probably be called the same thing only it would be
    said like "Dude, i just leg arounded that 3 set."

    A wrap is the trick that Dan heaton did (I think he may have invented,
    not sure though), where the seat wraps around the body in a circle (in
    defect he does a wrap, and then a wrap with two leg arounds in the shot
    after it).

    I have tried this trick a few times, always unsuccessful though, would
    be cool to see some one get one though. I was trying them like a 180
    unispin where you would swing your leg around the seat.

  16. There's going to be a lot of cunfusion if people start only saying
    "wrap." There are many different kinds of wraps, so let's try to
    refrain from saying "wrap" by itself.

    *Leg Around* - Usually done as a mount, standing on the pedal and
    bringing the other foot around the seat.

    *Leg Wrap* - Standing on the crank with one foot, bring the other foot
    around the seat.

    *Seat Wrap* - Bring the seat all the way around your body, essentially
    a Leg Wrap with one foot, then pass the seat behind your back, then
    perform another Leg wrap in the opposite direction as your other foot.

    *Super Wrap* - Basically a seat wrap but with wrapping each foot around
    the seat one more time. In other words, a Leg Wrap straight into a
    Seat Wrap straight into another Leg wrap with the other foot.

    Hey the Seat Wrap and Super Wrap look good, but the Leg Wrap is just a
    "Leg around." At least that is how I've always seen it.
