  2. Just watch some vids and try that. You could try rolling 180's like when
    you ride forward and spin and ride out back wards those are fun. If
    your into street you could always practice rolling hops getting ready
    for jumping sets and stuff.... hmm that is all I have right now...

  4. heres a cool trick.....search

    either on here or the net, watch videos and learn what they do, and
    dont ask how to do them because at the moment there is enough info on
    this website to keep you going for now

    you say you cant even unispin so why learn a NEW trick?/ Learn that
    first

  5. if youre looking for tricks that film well, drops, bridges/walls, and
    unispins
    If youre looking for skills that lead to better riding, one foot, wheel
    walking, and high jumps.
    Try to avoid prehops.

    Hey themunkyuni a good trick to learn would be
    - Skate mount
    - Coasting
    - Wheel Walk
    - Bagging (it's a technique me and my friends created. You have a heavy
    backpack on you and try to balance yourself, the uni and the backpack
    simultaneously)

    *1)* Yeah it is. 😄
    *2) *Or a UW as i've seen done. As for the skate mount technique.
    You'll need something like a 16" or smaller to attempt it. 😄

    but i'm pretty sure he has a unicycle. Not a BC wheel... hence why
    suggesting BC tricks is kinda stupid ! 😉

  12. If you want the trick to help improve you over all riding, learn to
    idle. Not just a couple pedals, be able to do it forever with either
    foot.

  14. I think working on my idle was the best thing Ive done for my riding. It
    improves your abality to stay balanced in any situation(foot position).
    After really getting my idle down with both feet, I was able to hop and
    land in any foot position. Also being able to idle well mean you can
    ride pretty much anywhere without having to dismount.

    EDIT:Also speeding up and slowing down your idles tempo, I feel, Is
    very good practice.

    Narrow lines to ride, like a raised curb, back rest of a park bench or
    railing...helps your balance.
