  4. I think it helps if you can do 180 unispin... just do a little jump with
    your foot and spin the unicycle. I find it easier to spin the unicycle
    the opposite direction that you spin the unicycle to go on the weel

    hope this help

  5. Just keep at it man, its one of those annoying tricks that just has to
    be learnt. I know after about the 10th failure it gets boring, but the
    more you try the easier it will get.
    Here's a tip anyway, if you are spinning the uni, try spinning you
    body instead, I found that was easier. Just spot the pedals and then
    jump down.

    Hope that helps,

    Jas

    the worst one like that has got to be spins. i have to learn spins and
    hop on wheel, spins r way worse and i hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i
    learn hop on wheel, ill actually do it and use it. when i learn spins,
    i will pass level 6 and never use it again until i have to

  8. one thing i did when i was learning that was to learn just jumping from
    the ground onto the pedals, it will help to give you a feel for landing
    on the pedals. Once you can jump from the ground to your pedals without
    a problem, you should be able to do it with almost no trouble from the
    wheel.

  9. Squeeze your feet together so the frame cant move side-to-side any. And
    try to stand over the seat, so your weight is directly over the uni.

    Instead of spinning the uni 90 degrees, try twisting your legs down
    onto the pedals. And don't jump, fall.

    hmm
    well just keep trying, thats the only advice i have for that.
    just focus on the pedals.

  12. Make sure you're not putting any weight on the seat when you hop down to
    the pedals. If you do, the uni will move a little and make it hard to
    be consistant. Spot your landing, stay relaxed and keep your hands and
    feet light. Eventually it will just click.
