Make sure you can do static unispins at least ~ 70% if the time. Then
try riding up, stopping, and doing it in one or two hops. Unispins
helped me learn to ride SIF, and it all became easier to do rolling
unispins.. Also, it is important that you know that a rolling unispin
is just riding up, and doing it on one hop, with no hops prior to the
unispin. Once you almost perfect this, you can try to do them without
stopping, to make it a quick rolling motion, and you can try to hop
like a foot while doing them. Good luck!


EDIT: I am really close to inventing this awesome flat trick... It
might not be new, but i've been practicing a lot, and it's really fun..
I've gotten it once or twice, and want to get it on camera.

Iv'e been making another video (My first two videos are on youtube. Type
in 'unicycle sheffield') and Iv'e been riding on palletes for the first
time. I made a ramp and landing ramp out of them. I did a 180 across a
small gap and rode down the landing ramp backwards. I was dead pleased.

on the cranks, hopped once to the right, then fell off.. Frustration,

P.S. 1:06 (Right, it's not 1 3/4, but 2 3/4, but there's not the same
amount of stairs...)

I can do it static no problem, but when I try to go at it with some
speed, 1 3/4 isn't enough for me to get comfortable on the uni.

Today I...

... am going to ride my new Nimbus II ISIS 24" to work from the bus
station. For the first time. (Two buses and a unicycle can get me to
work nicely.) I know this is insignificant to the rest of you, but for
me it's a big deal because I wasn't sure until yesterday afternoon that
I could even get ON this thing, much less ride it.

Here goes!

Toady I rode down a set of 6 steps. Iv'e bunnyhopped the whole lot
before. In theory I should have learn't how to ride down steps first
but I just never got round to it.
