New freestyle tricks!!

unicycle_x · 2005-04-15T19:57:42+00:00

Hey everyone. Lately I have been creating some new tricks on my uni. I invented that as far as I know, but I want to check with everyone else before I take credit as the inventor. So please reply if you have seen these tricks before: _Saran_Wrap:_ First you put your left foot on your left crank and your right foot on your right pedal. Then you lean your uni forward, swing your right leg back, through you left leg and the frame, and then in front, landing with both feet on you pedals. Through this your left foot stays on the crank. This trick resembles a side mount 1.5 leg wrap, but I made it into a stationary trick....and it is a lot harder to pull off. Keep in mind that I hop with my left foot forward, so if you hop right-footed inverse my instructions. _Frame_Stall:_ First you hop seat out in front with your feet on your cranks. Then you drop your seat to the ground in front of you and hop on your frame (the part of the frame where the spokes meet the rim, there is a bit of a gap there). Pause there for as long as you can, then hop back on your pedals and pick up your seat in one fluent motion (you have to do both of these at the same time because it is easy to lose your balance otherwise). I first introduced this trick at the toque games' best trick competition, so you might have seen it there. These are only a few tricks that i am working on. I will try to get videos up. I will post more and I can land then. If you have any unique stationary or non-riding freestyle tricks please post them. I am interested in learning all of the flat land uni tricks i can. Thank you for listen to me, Budd White -- unicycle_x - Niagara Unicyclists Has anyone ever done a frame stall? To do it you drop your frame to the ground infront of you, then jump on the fork, right infront of your tire. Then you hop back on your pedals and pull the frame up. Did I invent this? or has someone done it before? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unicycle_x's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3781 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39650

Hey everyone.
Lately I have been creating some new tricks on my uni. I invented that
as far as I know, but I want to check with everyone else before I take
credit as the inventor. So please reply if you have seen these tricks
before:
_Saran_Wrap:_
First you put your left foot on your left crank and your right foot on
your right pedal. Then you lean your uni forward, swing your right leg
back, through you left leg and the frame, and then in front, landing
with both feet on you pedals. Through this your left foot stays on the
crank. This trick resembles a side mount 1.5 leg wrap, but I made it
into a stationary trick....and it is a lot harder to pull off. Keep in
mind that I hop with my left foot forward, so if you hop right-footed
inverse my instructions.
_Frame_Stall:_
First you hop seat out in front with your feet on your cranks. Then you
drop your seat to the ground in front of you and hop on your frame (the
part of the frame where the spokes meet the rim, there is a bit of a gap
there). Pause there for as long as you can, then hop back on your
pedals and pick up your seat in one fluent motion (you have to do both
of these at the same time because it is easy to lose your balance
otherwise). I first introduced this trick at the toque games' best
trick competition, so you might have seen it there.

I've seen Sarah (one of the girls in our local unicycle club) do that
frame stall trick. Or at least what I think you're calling that
trick.
She dropped the seat to the floor like a seat drag then jumped up on the
legs of the frame. Then jumped up and down to get the tire bouncing on
the ground. Then get back to the pedals. I don't know if she was able
to pick up the seat and recover back to riding or not.
Her goal was to get the tire bouncing on the ground by hopping while
standing on the frame. In your frame stall you stay stationary till you
get back to the pedals. Sarah was also doing this on a trials uni with
a fat tire rather than a freestyle uni.

Look at video 9.5 in the gallery linked to above. I think the "Saran
Wrap" trick is in there. I have a hard time picturing the other one.
I haven't invented any stationary freestyle moves, but as far as I know,
I am the first person to do one-footed forward lace walk. (Wheel walking
forward, one-footed, with the foot behind the frame.)

Thanks for the link...that strange looking wheel walk with one foot in
front and one behind is amazing!

something....
and I can't really picture the other one.

the other one is just plain easy. All you do is drop the frame and
instead of holding it with your toes, you let it drop and place your
feet on the cranck AND the frame..it's actually easier

...but a quite different technique for it isn't it? I thought the rear
foot was usually pressed up against the frame.

No, it's the one on the iUF skills list called "wheel walk frame between
feet." It's actually pretty easy to do- you just push with one foot and
pull with the other. The backward version (also on the IUF skills list)
is also fairly easy.
In koosh koosh, you go backward, the foot in back does all the pushing,
and the other foot rests on the frame, holding the tire in place while
you reposition the other foot.

Yeah, I've seen Sarah do it in the gallery and the other one in one of
Sabin's movies on a picnic table, and Jess's movie Rainy Day Riding.
Lots of uni tricks are invented independently everywhere. I can do the
wrap around, and sorta the framestall but I never really worked at it.
Keep inovating though I think its sweet.

The move the guy does in the unicon movie is easier than the trick I do.
The unicon guy lifts his leg over the seat. I do it the opposite
way.... and much farther away from the balance point.
I filmed this trick today... now i just have to figure out how to load
it so you can see it.

Has anyone ever done a frame stall? To do it you drop your frame to the
ground infront of you, then jump on the fork, right infront of your
tire. Then you hop back on your pedals and pull the frame up. Did I
invent this? or has someone done it before?

That is a photo of Sara doing that skill.
However, the photo isn't mine even though it's in the 'Lars in Seattle
gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/LarsInSeattle2004) that I
created. Everyone who took photos that day put the photos in that one
gallery. The photo of Sara there was taken with a Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi
camera and I can't remember who there that day had that camera. Oh
well. It was a fun day.
