  1. Earlier today i decided to take the frame off my 20" learner uni and
    make it into a homemade ultimate wheel (anyone else tried this)? Last
    time i tried this i coudnt even go one revolution (that was a few
    months ago when i couldnt seat drag). Well after an hour of practice I
    accomplished a few things:

    Rode about 100 feet
    Kick up mount
    Sucide mount
    180 spin mount

    What would be some other tricks to try on it? I was thinking Idling or
    backwards but when i tried it (idling) it was super hard because of the
    pedals being so far from the wheel. How much easier/better to ride is a
    regular ultimate wheel?

    Here are some 'pictures' (http://tinyurl.com/7tgb6) of my homemade one.
    My right pedal broke in half (it was already broken). I couldn't get
    any pictures of me riding it because its too dark out and the camera's
    battery needs to be recharged.

  3. You could try a unispin or going down drops or stairs, but that may be
    the extent of an ultimate wheel.

    I successfully went off a 3 inch drop off the side of my driveway.😄
    I'll try something bigger when i get better. How would you unispin
    though? becuase when you hop you have to hold onto the tire so you're
    croached down alot which would make it really hard to clear the wheel
    with your feet as you spin it around.

  6. I did the same thing as you, only with a 24" uni. It works okay I
    guess...

    I havent ridden it in forever, but I've done a 12" drop on it (its
    easier to hold the tire and jump off) and I could hop up a small
    curb...

    A rolling mount is pretty easy. And it looks cool. Roll it along with
    your hand and step on one foot at a time. Also, a jump mount/suicide
    mount (I guess they're the same thing) and kickupmount.

    Other than that, I can't do much tricks... I tried a UWspin a few
    times, but gave up for good reason. One thing you could do, maybe, is
    go from a normal unicycle to the UW...

  7. what about pirouettes, or 180s 360s etc, no footers, jumping without
    holding onto the wheel, different kids of grabs, hopping idle, idle. i
    dont think any of these should be impossible. they may be extremely
    difficult but shouldnt be impossible.

  8. Heres a picture of me riding it. I put on some shin gaurd things because
    the wheel rubs against my leg when i mount and now i have a cut there.

  10. Here are some ideas of things I have seen other riders do on an ultimate
    wheel
    -ride backwards
    -frontspin (Ride backwards then spin around into riding forwards
    carrying on in a straight line)
    -backspin (same as frontspin by you end up riding backwards
    -hopping without holding the tyre (one way to do this is to have your
    pedals vertical and hook the top foot UNDER the top pedal).
    -skipping
    -idling
    -crankflip (no kidding, I've seen footage of a guy jump off his
    ultimate wheel, over a bar while it rolled underneath it, then he
    landed back on it)
    -jump from one moving ultimate wheel to another (rolling)
    -180 body spin (jump up, rotate your body 180 degrees and then land
    back on the wheel)

    Some of those skills are very hard. Hopping without holding the tyre
    is probably the best on to start on.

    Theoretically it's possible but AFAIK it hasn't been done. Someone has
    to try real hard.

    Has been done. On a slackrope for that matter.
