  2. Well, a friend of mine has the same problem with 360 unispins and when
    trying higher hops.
    Don't know what to do about it, but I'm sure someone on this forum has
    an answer for you.
    Consider this as a free kick 😉

  3. Visualize yourself doing the trick or line successfully.

    Sometimes I meditate for about 20 min just before bead. If there is
    something I've been struggling w/ I visualize it over and over. The
    next day I can do it significantly better.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

  4. If you think about it enough and see yourself doing it in your mind you
    WILL be able to do it... i did this just this week with unispins.
    Also, dont try things if your not in the right frame of mind to ride,
    or you will get nowhere!

  5. the moment you start to feel yourself hesitating is the critical moment.
    thats when you throw it and land it. it all comes down to that moment
    when you could back down or go for it.

  7. I just focus on that and nothing else and decide if I get hurt it
    doesn't matter. Pain is pain and your going to get hurt learning stuff
    so might as well learn it fast. You have to commit, that is the hardest
    part. You normally get hurt when you don't fully commit to whatever
    your doing, I did that a couple days ago. So yeah commit 100% and don't
    think of anything besides overcoming the challenge.

  8. The best way to overcome a mental block is to do a mental rolling hop
    over it. :p

  11. I had the same problem, but I learned it in about 2 or 3 weeks.. Still
    not consistant though.

    What you have to do, is stay leaning over it, becase you will find
    yourself jumping away, and the only possible way to land it by jumping
    in the opposite direction, is to bring the uni towards you while it is
    spinning.. This makes the trick even harder.. Lean over the unicycle
    rather than jumping away.

    Also, learn the 360 unispin mount. I completely skipped this at
    first, and this really helps in learning to man up and go for the
    cranks. I didn't land the 3spin untill I almost mastered the 3spin
    jump mount.. Make sure you have all of that together. You'll get it
    eventually.

    Just because you are not suffering from paranoia doesn't mean that they
    are not spying on you.entropy isn't what it used to be.
