  1. hey i got my new dx today, I can get up about a foot in a half blockSeat
    in or out, and do a 180 up it(this is all seat out just trying 180s),
    but i cant do it rotating away from it, even though i can do a 270 off
    it. I was wondering if there are any tips to really get your unicycle
    roatating, like how to do a 360, i use my hand and jump hard and on
    flat ground can get a 270, any tips, feels like my body gets all
    twisted up and wont go anymore?😕

  2. I used to do my spins jumping to my left. It kinda worked. I would get
    270s all the time, and 180s easily.

    I couldnt never get a full rotation though. It seemed like spinning to
    my left would be right. But it wasnt.

    One day I was riding, and tried jumping to my right, and found it
    instantly easier. After a few more tries I was getting 360s down.

    This may be your problem, so try turning the other way.

    Another thing is, jump people, as they compress, turn their wheel at
    same time. Riding, compress and twist tire about 60-90 degrees, jump
    and do the rest of the degrees, then they land.

    Or you just need more practice. With 180s you can do those just by
    using your hips pretty much and twisting your legs and anyone can get
    them very quickly. With 360s, you gotta use your free arm and your
    upper body to help you with the rotation.

  3. Yea i do both sides, i know i jump high enough, and idk, i can get out
    270 flat, but ill try the other side a little more, so you mean start
    spinning when you jump, hmm idk i guess ill give it a shot?

  4. Static 360 is (almost) impossible. You need to have a certain speed,
    then turn a bit (~20-30º) on the opposite side you jump, turn again but
    in the way you jump, and when you arrive at your starting point, jump.

    I don't know if this was clear, but if it was, you'll land
    it...well...I think.
