  1. ok i saw this on some random ass website and it said that an X-Up on a
    unicycle is when u 180unispin to 180 unispin back all in the same
    trick, thus crossing your arms and making an X. i want to know who's
    done it, i tried today and came really close but my feet landed funny
    and i fell...and if someone has landed it, any tips would be much
    appreciated.
    thanx
    Max

  3. A lot of people can do it. Shaun did an X up flip (Crankflip with an x
    up) and it looked crazy.

    x-up flip = my idea (If I remember correctly I was trying them and was
    getting 90º X-up flips and told shaun to try his luck at one and he got
    them full 180º). It's a sweet trick.

  9. In the Snacking with Shaun video I do a normal X-up. They're really
    trippy. It's good to know a 360 unispin for this trick. Make sure you
    have a really nice ariel height. Mad jumps of the uni. Then concentrate
    to 1spin and finish the spin (holding on to the seat with both hands
    the whole) at the peak of your jump, then snap back the uni and return
    like you did a huge ariel. Things to know before trying it.

    -180 unispin
    -Blind 180 unispin (spin opposite as your comfortable)
    -360 unispin
    -Good Ariels
    -Late Unispin (jump up, seat out in front, holding the uni in the
    unispin position, and spin it the 180 on your way down)
    -Late Blind Unispin (not as important as teh rest)

    Then mad ariel snap the uni 180 one way, then bring it back to the same
    spot, your feet will do an ariel and they should return to their same
    spot, landing the trick.

    I want to bathe in the death of balance hops.

    I like how people believe what is fed to them.

    You can question each point as it stands alone. However there's too
    much there to answer it all.

  10. I actualy find x-ups easier than 360 unispins, because you don't have to
    let go and the pulling it back just makes it feel natural because you
    are just returning your hands to proper positioning. That being said I
    don't tend to do x-ups with a full 180, closer to a 120.
