wow some one can do it...thats prety cool.
and the best bit is he's australian. lol.
You wouldn't happen to know his name or have any pictures his "amazing
freestyle stuff" ???
I don't know much about writting a tutorial but ill give you a few
tips:
It is easier if you lean over more towards the side the seat is on and
go in large circles.
Hold the seat with both hands and try to put a fair bit of your wait on
it. Keep the seat tightly against your body.
At first it will seem like you have to push super hard to get the pedal
over. Do not push overly hard or this will give you a really jerky
horribly uneven balance. Try getting the pedal round putting very little
pressure on it - just enough to keep the foot on the pedal. Try to keep
the motion smooth and continous. If the pedal stops it is very hard to
start going again. Use your free foot for balance. I find if i'm leaning
over to much (like when the non pedaling pedal strikes the ground!) my
free leg goes flying out to the side to keep me balanced. Similarly when
i'm around vertical my free leg stay close to my body.
