  1. I ALMOST landed a 270 unispin yesterday!! it was pretty sweet. I got
    both feet on the wheel, but.... it was weird. my left knee was in front
    of the seat, and my right knee was behind it where it should be. I start
    with my left foot back, and turn the unicycle to the right for the
    unispin....
    has anyone else had this problem? how can I make sure both legs are
    behind the seat where they should be?

  2. I sometimes have this same problem, except that I am working ona 90
    unispin instead of a 270. Although it feels really weird, I find that
    if I actually just start hopping, it usually goes away within a few
    hops, or else I fall off. I am sure it will go away if you practice
    enough.

    also known as transition to hopping on the wheel. While not really
    being much of a spin, but still can have the same problem of one foot in
    front of the seat.
