    My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I.. got out of bed at all
    The morning rain clouds up my window.. and I can't see at all
    And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
    It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.. bad... bad

  2. I've landed six. In my life. I usually land them,- then- fall off. I
    also never really practice it anymore.

    Good luck.

  4. I want to learn these but i cant figure out how to position my hands on
    the seat (my unispins are spun counter clockwise). Also are 270
    unispins easier (to hop on tire)?

    practising the 360 unispin mount... keep the unicycle on the ground...
    dont jump really high

  7. I was getting SOO close to landing a 360 unispin, before I broke my
    foot...I'm gonna try again soon. I've gotten both feet back on the
    pedals before, but fell off right away.

    except that for a 360 unispin, you kind of let go for just a split
    second while it's spinning. but your hand position starts in the same
    way as a 180 unispin.

  13. ^ Yeah, same here too.

    I can land 180unispins almost every time now (as long as I *believe*
    enough), but i've never tried a 360unispin. That'll be for tomorrow
    when the hurricane is hitting...

    I can wheelwalk for ~15ft (~5m) now, though!

    Next up: 1ft stand up ww.

    transitions are. 😄

  16. i was practicing earlier today in my basement because it was raining and
    i almost landed a 360 unispin jump mount. I tried a 270 unispin from
    hop on tire to pedals but one foot missed and it hit my shin really
    hard. Does anyone have any advice for 180 hop on tire unispin to
    another hop on tire?

    Personaly, i use 2 diferents positions for my hands. For the 180, i
    hold firmly the rear part of the saddle with my left hand and the front
    part with the right one. Holding the extremities give me more control
    over the spin.
    Whereas for a 360 i cross my hands over the saddle, and closer to the
    seat post (increase speed rotation). Once i have thrown the spin
    uncrossing my hands, i only try to stop it spinning. I can't stop it
    easily at only 180.

    I landed my fisrt unispin 180 three weeks ago. And i did spend a lot of
    time to do it. Then i worked some unispin 360 jump mount to get used to
    the diferent way of holding the seat and spinning and a week ago landed
    my first 3 unispins 360. Now i might have a 50% of success.

    I watched a vid i did of it : in my case it take actually 0.4s for the
    complete revolution of the uni.

    Good luck

  18. I can land a 360 jump mount but still haven't landed the 360 unispin.
    Has anyone tried getting the spin for a 720?! It's so unbelievably hard
    just to stand there, spin it 720 and then catch it again, big ups to
    Xaviar, Shaun J and whoever else has landed them!!
