  1. I was just wondering what sorts of things people are currently doing
    with your unicycle?

    eg: building a special unicycle, learning to hop better, learning to
    ride on
    dirt, grind... whatever i just thought it would be interesting

    to start off
    1. im learning to idle
    2. i'm trying to hop
    3. i've been practising down some dirt tracks
    4. i'm buiding a bunch of wooden ramps just to improve riding up and
    down steep slopes
    5. i've also been setting up a small slalom course to practise my sharp
    turns and stuff

    What things have you been doing recently??

  2. These are in a random order, cause I'm learning each one but not
    prioritizing them, so I'm not gonna learn one, then go to two, these
    are the things I'm working on.

    1. 180 uni-spins
    2. Wheel Walking
    3. higher hop height regular, SIF, and rolling
    4. seat drag
    5. seat push
    6. Coasting
    7. grinding (need a plate cause my pins are not coming out, i tried for
    2 hours)

    Thats all that comes to mind, there might be one or two more things im
    working on.

    Yup! Nothing quite like hopping from a 10cm wide pole to a ledge, then
    riding along it, gapping to a bench, and hopping up the backrest 🙂

  14. On this theme can anyone suggest what a beginner should try first after
    mastering the basics (and I mean the very basics). I can manage to
    steer and ascend/descent gentle inclines. Would hopping off a
    moderately high curb or small step be a good next move? Any other
    suggestions about the next sort of thing to attempt? (I am trying to
    freemount just now).
    Cheers

    I'd say freemounting is a good thing to try next.
