Most frusterating trick to learn.

Mine would have to be wheel walking. I'm kind of working on one foot WW
and that's frustrating AND I can't do it yet.

Backwards wheel walking. That one took me for-frigging-ever.

That's only if we count the ones we've actually learned. If not, I could
add the dreaded hand wheel walk, among many others...

there arent any isolated tricks by themselves that I have learned to do
yet that were that frustrating. but the most frustrating thing I have
ever done would have to be my first linked trick. It was a jump mount to
seat out front (with the uni itself backwards), then a 180 unispin to
seat out front to 180 unispin to another 180 unispin to regular riding.
that combo took me a LOOOOOOONNNNGGGG time to finally get consistently.
apart form that, it would have to be the unispins itself. though not the
most frustrating, just the pedal bite and missing the pedals, smacking
your nuts off the seat horn or something like that. or you could go the
route of ANYTHING on a unicycle is frustrating. because most of the
time, it is.

The one that took me the longest to learn would be riding.

Other than that, though, would be gliding. It's crazy, I could nearly do
it about a week ago but now it seems to be -gone-. I just can't do it
anymore. GRRRRRR!

Wheel walking, which I'm still a hack at. My problem is that it's so
freakin' boring to practice that it might take me years to master (if
ever) at this rate (5 minutes' practice a week--max). No matter how
hard trials or MUni moves are, most are exciting to practice. The grim
freestyle moves seem to require predernatural patience, but ain't they
fun once you've got them wired!

the hardest trick for me was backwards. i hadn't learned to idle yet,
and it was really frustrating. i kept falling off backwards and landing
on my tailbone 🙁

the easiest trick i'd say was the kickup mount. anybody that can ride
can do a kickup. you just gotta get your feet in the right place, and go
for it. no worries.

Probably for me it was side-hopping, not the trials kind but when you
hop one-footed and your whole body is on one side of the uni, a
freestyle move.

Right now, I am having the hardest time getting up to rubber from a
crank hang or pedal grab.

It also took me the longest time to be able to ride my coasting
unicycle, and I don't think I even can any more.

If you want to get into juggling (like, who does???) it was probably
doing what I think is called "the box", which is like the shower except
each throw you change directions of the pattern. I hope to perfect this
trick at the 2004 Seattle International Juggling Festival.

If you want to get into violin, (mike_foote and Kris Holm) it was
definately getting a harmonic on the "E" string. Now I can do it while I
ride my 6-footer!!

Only if you guys want to get into it, tho.

Does that mean you have a uni with a freewheeling hub?

Also, I'd say WW.

I think the hardest for me was the last part of crankgrabs. For
freestyle it was probably the kickup mount, which I learned in a day,
but never got consistent. The absolute hardest was getting a good tone
on my flute, which I still haven't gotten consistent. Wheelwakling and
1fww took a kinda long time, but felt like they were progressing fast,
so they weren't frustrating. On the other hand, I never actually felt
like I progressed towards crankgrabs, they just happened after three
months' of frustration. Then, I lost them, and then I got them back.
Pedalgrabs also sucked.

I've only learned one trick solidly, riding forward. Idling is getting

One foot riding.

Still failing far too often after 3 or 4 revs, but too proud to mount a

Wheel Walking, although I'm beginning to find one foot WW very
frustrating too, at least with regular WW I felt that I was constantly
improving. Very slow with OFWW :-(

Which harmonic was it? (I play violin too, have been doing so for about
6 years). Harmonics are probably hardest on the e string. Its also
really hard to play sequnces of harmonics. It's really hard to "stick"
harmonics one after the other.

By the way...i never knew Kris Holm played the violin. Is he good?

Anyway the most frustating tricks for me are backwards wheel walk and
coasting. I'm still learning both of these. My best for each is about
10m. Side ride took my ages to get anywhere but i didn't find it
frustrating coz it was fun learning it for some reason.
