unispins

Hey, I gotta write, sorry.

Unispin, ah, not good. lol. Have shin guards! If not your shins will
take a beaten.😠 ok. well. Hopefully you know how to hop seat out in
front with ease. ABout a 15 to 20 inch verticle should be learned before
doing unispins. (this just shows you have skills seat out in front) Then
a lot of time is needed. Develop a way of holding the seat so it goes
around easily for 180's. While holding the seat as if to 180, just jump
off the pedals kick our feet out and land back on the pedals. Don't put
too much weight on the seat. Practice just that for awhile. Till it
becomes easy. I call it an arial. When you can do a nice arial just
concentrate on that, jump do the arial and as you are, bring the uni
quickly around 180, return the feet as iff an arial and there you go.
Should be a 180 unispin. Keep that weight off the seat of the uni
though, or else, you'll spin it too slowly, and it will roll out from
under you. Hope this helps.

I think that hop should be high enough. The best advice I got, I think
from Trip Glazer was to aim for the cranks first then later on go for
the pedals. Just throw your legs out and pull them in against the wheel.
They'll likely land on the cranks. It will be a bit wobbly at first but
you should be okay. Also, I landed my first couple after lowering the
seat for my brother's friend. It made it much easier to land it for some
reason. Listen to unifreak he's amazing at uni-spins.

Later and Good Luck,
David

PS. Definitely where shin-pads. Even soccer ones will do.

The most important thing about Unispins, other than shin gaurds, is the
direction you spin the uni. If you're normal or right foot back spin the
uni to the left, if you're goofy or left foot back you spin the uni to
the right. Its fun to do it of a curb but never NEVER!, use platform
pedals without shin gaurds( It was my friends and didn't bother changing
the pedals, 12 stitches, not much but still a pain in the a$$ to deal
with).

Sorry for the size of the picture but I don't really know how to shrink
it. I would have worn shin gaurds if I had any, but I didn't and still
dont, i just use plastic pedals shin gaurds get in the way( although i
do need them for stuff like seat out in side to the left, burns the hell
outta ya. oh yeah go to Death Valley and ride the Ubehebe Crater.

Please, please, please stop with the horrible French scar leg people.
That leg took enough of a beating without all you guys going and
insulting it 😄 Ever thought that leg might have feelings? Might not
like being called French.

thanks darchibald, im glad the advice helped, as it really helped me to
get it down. i am by no means an expert on unispins, as i have done
nothing more than 180 and havent done one in half a year, but it is a
fun trick to get down. i noticed that unifreak7 uses two hands even
when doing a 180. so my question is whether you (unifreak) always use
two hands or just in those particular clips? do you reccomend
practicing one handed unispins?

on another note, i looked up the clip and am very jealous of that
rolling hop. my rolling hop is way behind my side hop but now i want to
go finally try to get on a picnic table...

Hey, thanks a lot for the comment. Well for one handed unispins i can
only do 180's. I almost hit a 360 a few times, but the uni is hard to
hold straight after landing. The wrist is totaly twisted. lol. I'll post
some more little clips of tricks if it might interest anyone. Thanks a
lot
