  1. Im getting close to landing it (i think), and im wondering if learning
    the jump mount first will help me get the real thing easier.

    Ive had some success with the jump mount, mainly ending in pain but
    success it has been.

    If anyone else has gone about this the same way I am, please tell.

    Cheers.

  2. What? You're trying 360 unispins, but you can't do the jump mount? Can
    you do 180 unispins? Learning the jumpmount isn't a requirement for
    unispins, but if you can do a 180 unispin, you'd be able to land
    jumpmount first try. And you have to be able to do 180 unispins before
    you even think of attempting 360 unispins.

    I'm confused.

  4. I think he's on about 360 jump mount things... i didnt learn them b4 360
    unispins i think its just about persistance. once you can land them
    then youll probably find them easier than 180 unispins :P

  5. yeah i landed the 180 unispin ages ago, i think im pretty good at it.

    I have been attempting the 360 unispin for a while now but i just
    havent got it right so i decided to learn the jump mount then have
    another go at the real thing. Just wondering if this is a useless idea.

  6. I think so, the 360 unispin jumpmount seems harder and I never have
    learned it, before or after learning 3spins.

    Do you mean the 360 unispin jump mount? Or just holding the uni in
    front of you and jumping onto it?

    I don't think unispin jump mounts are anything like unispins. I don't
    even know if I can 360 unispin jump mount.

    $10 says you can't.

    Hmm, what do you know, I just went out and landed one. I guess I don't

  13. Video tape yourself, then you can see if your legs arent going up, if
    one foot is going down before the other, and anything else that could
    be going wrong.
    With this method, I taught my friend to do them in 5 mins.

  15. I don't let go of the seat for 360 unispins. I just sort of bring my
    left hand(the one in front) the whole way around.

    And prevent racking by holding the seat in front of you and spinning it
    like that. Jump straight up.

    Jump higher with your body, kick your legs our or tuck them a few
    inches more than usual, put power into your spins.

    If you can, record yourself from a few angles and watch it back and you
    can really see what needs to be corrected.

    Probably not too long. Some people can get them in a few mins practice,
    others days, and some months.

    Your young though, and most young people can learn stuff pretty
    quickly.
