  4. yeah, i was ready to do it but the landing on the pedals put me off,
    but the thought of ending up in pain doesnt really sound that good, so
    the magical feeling just dies 🙁

  5. I've been wanting to try something like this and it's really just my
    first attempt. That "channel" groove in the center og the fusion
    freeride is almost useless since the cover stretches tightly over it
    when you are on it. Previously, I just cut the cover in the middle to
    expose the channel on my MUni, and it worked well.

    So this time I took a piece of thin flexible plastic, and secured it
    down the center, forcing the channel to stay fully open. You'll notice
    the screws going trhough it to hold it down, but they are deep enough
    that the will not come in contact with...well, you know lol!

    I believe the main reason why your "bits" get numb after really long
    distances in the saddle, is because of _urethral_pressure_, cutting
    off blood flow, and the open channel should give substantial relief in
    this area, greatly reducing the onset of numbess.

  7. Good Luck! I hate when I get that feeling and then I come back after an
    hour and I am all dissapointed in myself. I still can't land them after
    hours and hours of practice. Don't waste your time watching tutorials
    if you've watched them before, it shows you how to do it no how to land
    it.

    I thinked you've inspired me right now to go try to get them today. Hey
    anybody in this thread that can't land them, lets make a race to see
    who can land them first.

    I've gotten over the fear of shinning myself its just no matter what I
    do I can't my feet back on the pedals.

  8. Good luck! 🙂

    I landed my first while just practicing over and over and over while
    watching TV in my basement. A few weeks later and then I could land
    them 7/10 tries.

  9. I just went out and practiced for about 20 minutes. I got so close, I
    was hitting the pedals with both feet 50% of the time. But I would
    always get one foot on and the other foot would flick the pedal with
    the tip of my shoe.

    I figured out its easier if you try to land like a 130 unispin instead
    of 180, and then once you learn the basics of the unispin then you can
    move to learning 180 unispins.

  10. I'm like you and when out and tried it one day and...Eureka! I got it!

    Few tips though....

    Don't do it on grass, you won't do it. Guarenteed. Do it on pavement.
    Just go for it. Put on equipment, but be prepared for pain.

  12. Yeah, you just gotta go for it... I got it over February vacation and
    went outside for a couple hours and didn' go in until I landed it. Shin
    guards really help. One thing that helped me was making sure that I
    wasn't doing a180 dismount. That is, making sure I snapped my feet back
    in. Ifound that it helped to concentrate onjumping high, not snapping
    my legs out.
