  2. I think I've seen 360s before, at Unicon or NAUCC. Can't remember who.

  3. I am pretty sure I saw a 360 unispin in a video of a stage performance.
    If I remember right, it was one guy on a bike and one guy on a unicycle
    performing different things.

  4. I did it with one hand, upside-down, backwards, over a pit of rabid sea
    creatures, and on fire!

    But, other than that, no.

  5. Cody does 180s on his giraffe (that used to be mine). He said he was
    going to try a 360 soon. He and Evan are coming over to my house this
    weekend and cody said he wants to try to grind a handrail on the
    giraffe.

    That's pretty impressive, when you say rabid sea creatures. Did that
    include a crocodile, electric eels, lion and piranhas but also
    including a drop of human blood to really make it go off. 😉 😉 My
    friend just ordered a custom crab giraffe unicycle. Can't wait till it
    comes in. 😄 😄 😄

    That. and more.
    Remember that crazy shark-eel thing in japan. It didn't die because it
    got transported. It died because i unispinned (unispun?) over it.

    It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
    in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
    flip backwards then forwards

    See The Swedish Cycle Act video that's in my 'Monster gallery'
    (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Monster) (scroll down to about the
    middle of the page).

    I'm almost certain I've seen Dustin Kelm do a 360 unispin on a 6 foot
    giraffe. I know he does 180s.

  15. I've done a 180, it's easier that on a regular uni because you only need
    to hop. You don't need to flare your feet out to get by the tire, you
    just let the frame spin in between your feet. I will video it when we
    loose some snow and it gets above -15c. 360 would be a little harder
    because the uni would move a bit from the spin I think but I am sure
    it's possible.

  16. From memory Bill Gilbertson also does a giraffe 180 unispin on the One
    Wheel No Limit vid (filmed way back in 99).
