  1. Hey everybody.

    I don't know how many times I've heard people say shifty, x-up,
    tre-flip, etc.

    Anyways, I started this thread so people like me can learn a thing or
    two.

    If you know know or have done any tricks, please post either a
    tutorial, definition, or a video showing somebody doing the trick.

    Also, if you want to know what a trick is, post here.

    Hopefully, we can get a good amount of tricks on here.

  2. Hawo hungry. Here are some basic descriptions of unicycling tricks.

    1)
    [/B]THIS
    IS FROM WIKIPEDIA. (\"HTTP://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/STREET_UNICYCLING\"😉
    *2)
    *I SO WANT
    TO TRY THESE IDEAS. (\"HTTP://WWW.UNICYCLING.COM/THINGS/INDEX.HTM\"😉

    *AND THIS TOO ALSO.

    [B]Hopping *- Standing on the pedals, bouncing as if the unicycle were
    a pogo stick.
    *One foot riding* - One foot on a pedal, the other foot rests on the
    frame.
    *Seat in front *- Instead of sitting on the seat, it is held out in
    front with the hands.
    *Wheel walking *- Sitting on the seat, you walk backwards on the top of
    the wheel, propelling the unicycle forwards.
    *One-footed wheel walking *- As wheel walking, but you push the wheel
    with one foot, sliding it backwards to push again.
    *Gliding *- Sitting on the seat, one foot rests on the frame, the other
    touches the wheel as a brake. The amount of pressure adjusts the amount
    of breaking. This is started from speed, or can be performed downhill
    where a constant speed can be maintained.
    *Coasting *- Both feet resting on the frame. The arms are extended
    forwards and upwards, then waved to keep balance. This has to be
    started from speed, and downhill is not recommended.

  4. How easily? Step on it, do a unispin, ride off.

    Unispins are seriously easy once you learn them. Learning unispins is
    all about getting the motions right and overcoming your mental
    barriers.

    edit: try

    to do a unispin, I jump and begin to twist, but it either hits my legs
    or I don't spin fast enough. Any tips?

  6. Jump higher, spin faster.

    Seriously. Kick your legs out a bit if they hit the wheel. Hold your
    hands near the seatpost so that you can spin faster. Just keep doing
    it.

    And there are tons of unispin tutorials out there. You can always use
    the search button and dwell in the wisdom of the past posters.

    I learned in the same way that this tutorial shows... 180 are pretty
    easy... 360 are a little bit harder... But both are fun 😄

    it's called an ET in BMXing.

  11. Back when that was considered a good enough trick to name it was called
    a fastforward and a backwards version was called a rewind. But now
    their just called Revs. And yeah their called ETs in bmx. (Referance to
    the movie ET. When they fly past the moon and pedal in mid air.)

    No, a crankflip is when you kick the pedal. take your feet off and let
    the cranks do a full revolution, a rev (I think) is when you jump and
    your feet never leave the pedals, but the cranks do a full revolution.

  14. I've got a question about pedal grabs and crank grabs.

    I often hop up onto an object using either a pedal or crank grab, but
    I'm not actually sure which I use. I seem to be using both. Is there
    really much difference between them? I mean, I know that it is much
    more stable on the crank rather than the pedal, I just wondered whether
    there really needed to be a differential between the two.

    Does anyone find one or the other better or think that I'm completely
    wrong by saying any of this?!

  15. This post seems to have come to a complete halt!

    Would somebody like to write a short, or long, list of tricks such as
    flip tricks and spin tricks and so on. Or people could just add tricks
    as they go. Like favourtie tricks. It'd be cool if we had a thread that
    people could refer back to when learning new tricks.
    If you write it in the format of:

    eg. *180 unispin* - turning the uni 180degrees whilst jumping above it,
    then landing back on the pedals with the uni facing backwards.

    Then people could try them from the exlanations.

    Theres a list on wikipedia. Refer to that for more simple tricks, some
    advanced.

    This is all you should need rather then writing down tricks. It has
    basically every BASIC flip and spin trick, some freestyle and flatland.

    I suppose so. I just didn't think it was very comprehensive. I thought
    that people could write it up in 'easy to understand' unicycle
    language!

    whats a shifty?

    Jump, twist your lower body mainly 90 degrees, then twist back.

    Quoted message said:

    whats the difference between a pedal/crank grab and a pedal/crank stall?
    if there is...

    The name should of told you the difference. One of them you are landing
    on your crank, the other your jsut landing on your pedal.

    Quoted message said:

    what is the difference between 180 flip and a hickflip

    A 180flip is when you do a crankflip, and at the same time, do a 180
    with your whole body and unicycle.

    A hickflip is a crankflip with a 180 unispin

    Quoted message said:

    what is a hoptwist

    Jumping and doing a full twist with your body and unicycle any ammount
    of degrees. Usually 180 and 360.

    Quoted message said:

    what is a smallspin, bigspin, huge spin, giantspin

    Smallspin - 180unispin & 180 hoptwist.
    bigspin - 360unispin & 180 hoptwist
    hugespin - 540unispin & 180 hoptwist
    Giantspin - ?

    The next step up ive heard as a mammothspin, which you should be able
    to tell the pattern now, and its just a 720unispin with a 180.

    Quoted message said:

    whats a sexchange?

    A crankflip with a 180bodyvarial.

    Quoted message said:

    whats an x-up

    A 180unispin, then before landing, another 180unispins in the oppesite
    way as the first one.
