    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?

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

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