  1. well the name says it all, these are my first video taped attempts at
    backflipping on the unicycle. they're on the trampoline and i will get
    better ones when it's lighter outside. the first one is of me landing
    on y back and then flipping over to the wheel. the second is of my
    first frontflip attempt. and the third is of my first actual backflip
    attempt, it's not to pretty, but it was getting dark.

  7. ok but you should at least be supportive of other riders. instead of
    saying that wha they are doing is "retarded"

    What offers can I give for "constructive criticism?" if all I ask for
    is the vid to be put here when you've landed it?
    You need to learn how to take jokes, and understand when people use
    smilies that it isn't making fun of you.

    I think many people agree with me on this. I was no even close to your
    spaz-like "F THAt and F This!! You suck cause I didn't even land it!"

    So you are the poor victim that got picked on by evil nasty bullies.

  14. Woah, everyone just drop it. Its pointless anyways.

    Anyways, I think your going at it kinda wrong. I would rather practice
    off a ledge, landing onto a pad. A very thick cushiony pad.

    It just seems that the trampoline is too sluggish.

    When I practicing, I would do a still stand at the ledge, then whip my
    free hand down and follow through with my body, and when my body was
    already tilting towards the ground, I would jump with the uni and
    finish the rotation.

    Too bad I got kicked off the place with the mats, and now I cant find a
    suitable place to practice anymore. Keep it up though. =p

  15. thanks jerrick...umm thats wut i plan on doing, at least kinda. i dont
    really have access to a big squishy pad, but i know that because the
    trampoline is a little sluggish that if i can at least get most of the
    way around, then i know for a fact that i'll be able to get all the way
    around off of a ledge. in fact i'll probably practice into water first
    like off of a dock or something. but i will have landed it by the end
    of the summer most definately.

  18. That's awesome. I was just checking, since I was going to say you might
    want to get that down completely before you tackle it with a uni, just
    for the sake of building the muscle for it, ha.

  20. Now that we're over the junior high school name-calling, I thought that
    was pretty good! It's not easy flipping with a unicycle, because the
    wheel weight is further from your center of mass (off a unicycle) than
    anything else, making it much harder to get rotation. I remember trying
    to go headfirst off a diving board once. I got about half the rotation
    I was expecting to get, which made for a glad-nobody-was-videotaping
    unicycling bellyflop!

    If you lower your seat as much as possible, and go for lots of tuck it
    may be easier to get the rotation you need.
