  3. Do not ride to fast, obviously if you do you will end up flipping. Put
    more weight on the back foot and push down on the seat. I assume you
    can do them stationary? I learnt them rolling so I may be no help to
    you.

  5. I have never seen any one (that I can recall) doing them down sets. I
    have tried them off curbs but they are really hard. you cant get any
    distance on them, you cacn do one-footers off sets though.

  8. I just learned how to do these a couple weeks ago. Practice one-footers
    kicking your foot far off to the side. Make sure no weight is on the
    unicycle and jump high. It helped me to think of no-footers as doing a
    one-footer and taking the other foot off late; then smooth it out
    later.

    This stuff may not work for you, but it helped me.

    Oh, and Tassilo, Xav Collos did one of those in Vener off a 3 stair (I
    think)

    [Edit]: previous stament already said.

    cranks actually dont move ANYWHERE in the air.(i know, theres a problem
    with that, but whatever)

  10. For me, no footers were just something I got with practise. Break it
    down, do it static, then rolling and then, as I've got now, try 180s
    and fakie 180s.
    I find that breaking down skills can really help you understand them
    better and ultimately, learn them more easily.

    Hope this has been some help,

    Jas

    P.S. an example of a killer no footer can been seen in my latest vid,
    check it out,

  12. I can do them going very fast, in fact no footer is my favorite trick
    (that I can land). the trick is ot not jump but to only suck your legs
    in or take them off side way. So do not put presure on your pedals make
    sure that you're pedals are in a 90 degree angle then sortof stop in a
    harsh hit (flex your legs) and as you are stoping bring your legs in.
    You can also do it going very slow like it's been said before but you
    will have a problem when you go on bigger then just a curb or even when
    you try to bring it into a grind. Hope that helps.. max
