sp4rky-m4rky · 2007-12-19T15:04:03+00:00

I landed a 720 unispin, I was practising 540s and had only landed a few I was struggling with the timing but I kept finiding myself overspinning the uni and that i was managing to catch the saddle after it had span 720 I wasnt realy thinking about it and i just span and snapped my feet in and I landed one. who else in the uk has landed these? i get the feeling not many people can. I havnt got it on film because i am at school and i couldnt brinig it all in and i wasnt exspecting to land it but i will try and maybe film it tomorrow because i have a class now, i realy want to land another. and yes i am positive that it was a 720 and not a 360. -- sp4rky-m4rky you may be lucky but you make your own luck *)--540 Unispin-'O,* my 'videos' (http://www.youtube.com/user/c011in9s) learning 180 or 360 unispins? watch my 'unispin tutorial' (gFCHDO1umlM) Want to glide? watch my 'ww tutorial' (prrX0sY7QVo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sp4rky-m4rky's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14270 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/66399 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Yeah your right he has a good tutorial...And yeah ive watched my
attempts at 360s and I think I just dont jump enought because I get to
the 270 mark and then fall...I think I get the right amount of spin
though...I should practice, but I only can practice in my basement
which is carpet...actaully my buddy who rides has a concrete basement
so I will practice with him there....

I've gotten pretty close to a 720 before. I've also got somewhat close
to a 720 outspin :p:p . cant wait to get those two! Good job man, yeah
you should land a 900 u-spin by accident too. That would be cool. but
only if it was by accident...

Thanks for all your coments guys, im still amazed I got it. I have a
maths revision class tomorrow which realy sucks because its for near
enough the whole day and I think it will be dark when I get back. On
friday I am going to ride at school and film hopfuly all the shots I
need for my latest video because noone will be in school. I will try
and land another but on film but I will mainly be concentrating on
filming some flips down the sets and stuff because it may be the only
chance I get to film at my school. on saterday however I will definatly
try and land them on film if so I will put it up straight away.

Isaac
yeah that is a good tutaorial
i am getting to about the same point, can you land 270's isaac, b/c i
was SO close to them. i had both feet on the tire, and hands on the
seat, but the uni was at too much of an angle and the seat got ripped
out of my hands from too much leverage every time. then i fell and
sprained my wrist so im calling it quits till my wrist is bett. i think
if i can get 270's i can get 360's. i also think if i get shin armour
ill be able to do them for more then 15-20 min per day b4 my shins are
hurting from reapeated bruises in the same spot. keep it up isaac!
awesome on the 720 sparky! thats pretty awesome! i also would like to
see the vid, it must be cool to be a part of a very small list of ppl
who have landed i from all around the world!

Firstly, FAR OUT SPARKY NICE WORK!!! That's amazing man. Hopefully you
can land some more and get consistent at them.
Secondly, good work Isaac. Man you snap the uni round quickly for the
last 90 degrees! I too landed 270s before 360s. It was actually quite a
while afterwards before I landed 360s. The best advice I can give is to
jump straight upwards over the uni, commit to landing it (believe in
yourself!) and snap your legs in to land on the cranks. Good luck
