Hey guys, when i'm hopping on my uni (24" wheel, 170mm cranks, right foot forward, left hand on handle) my unicycle seems to want to spin around. it's weird cause it's only started happening lately, i'll just be hopping and my uni trys to spin me around clockwise. have any of you ever had this problem or know how to fix it?
thanks

If you have only just stared hopping then that is why. As you practice and get more comfortable with it you stop spinning and you can actully control the hops. I know what you mean though, I do stuff like that when I hop in the wrong position, I sometimes spin and the cranks like to turn also.

didnt this only start happening when you put your tyre on the wrong way? i dont know what it could be, but that could be the problem.

I was doing a wheelie on my bike and figured why not buy a unicycle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomtrevor's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12118 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51486

maybe you have changed your hoping style without noticing it, or you could have one of your shoulders too far forward.

try and turing the other way ? keep ur legs tight around your seat when you hop and use your hand to direct your seat so it wont turn..
