  1. dude... i've given a lot of brain in this question...
    falling in your head... not cool.
    anyway.. i guess that doing it in a trampoline for starters would give
    you the feeling...
    its possible...
    just need some safety.
    i'll do it someday...
    for you dude.

    i think that if we jump off balance (too far forewards) that the
    frontflip spin will be natural and our feet will not come off the
    pedals

    I noticed that it does work like that, but from what i was jumping off
    of, to the mat, and having the mat as far away as it was, i just didint
    want to take the risk of falling head first between the mat and the
    scaffold, Splat! right onto the pavement with my head! lol

    After moving the mat closer it was a lot easier cause i didnt have to
    focus getting the distance, but even with the limited time of practice
    i got in, i was able to land on my back and slightly on the wheel then
    falling backwards =p

  5. My non-unicyclist friand was trying to tell me to try a flip today, but
    I was thinking about it and it seems like it would be easier to do a
    backflip and a frontflip, because you could get more leverage, and you
    would have to do it sif. That's pretty insane that you almost got it,
    jerrick and skroboskim.
