    very good at hopping sif, I think its gonna take some time to learn...

    with you?

    That's cool, I was able to do 180 unispins for about a year before I
    learned 360s, 1 week between learning a 180 and 360 is really fast.

    Learn no footers first, they are really easy. Just jump off the pedals
    and land back on them.

    I start on the padals and land on the cranks, sorry bout the bad video
    quality. Try to do it with the seat facing backwars so you get a better
    grip.

    A no-footer is basically a 180 unispin, without spinning your uni 😉
    You jump up from your pedals, and land back on. In order to do a 360
    unispin, wouldn't you have to learn a nothing first though?

    I'm no professional at no footers, but what helped me learn them a lot
    is concentrate on putting no weight on the unicycle when you're in the
    air. if you do, it will start rolling and the pedals won't be level
    and stuff. so just jump, and take your feet off a little bit, and keep
    one hand on the seat, but don't put any weight on it.

    No footers aren't required but to me it makes sense to be able to jump
    off and land back on your uni really comfortably before you start
    spinning it.

  18. but wouldnt you want to do no footers seat in front.. becuase you 180
    unispins seat in front and land on them seat in front.. and another
    thing.. when you do a no footer.. does the uni genrally come off the
    ground or stay on the ground?

  19. It's easier to learn no footers with the uni staying on the ground
    because if you are rolling into the no footer and you pick up the uni
    it will tend to want to crankflip and you will land with the cranks in
    the wrong positions.

  20. I learned 180 unispins, 180 unispins off drops, 360 unispins, rolling
    360 unispins, but I suck at no-footers. In fact I learned unispins
    waaay before no-footers. They are in no way similair.
