    you're somewhat new to unicycling. crankflips are kinda hard, as are
    unispins. learn some simpler tricks.

  6. learn to hop, then learn to hop good. Learn to ride with the seat in
    front of your body, then learn how to hop with the seat in front.

    That should be a good start for now at least.

  8. Hey

    Unispins first step is to control yourself hopping seatout in front.
    Maybe try alittle arial jumps from pedals to pedals (no spin). When
    comfotable jsut grab the seat with both hands and try the spin, same
    movement with the feet that you are use to. Just now the uni is
    backwards. The cranks will be there if you spin enough. And you've got
    it. Cranks are much harder. It's rolling forward and placing weight on
    the front foot and a jump to get the pedals to flick around. Tricky
    tricky. We'll go over that in alittle bit. Add me [email hidden]
    or slash2461 at aim. If you don't ahve something like that send private
    messages and i'll help ya out. laters

  9. first you should practice riding with SIF and jumping SIF... if you
    learn to crank flip the same day you learn to jump you are an amazing
    learner... unless you already have some b*king background like doing
    b*ke trials.but still it would be amazing.

  11. some simpler tricks would be hop twists or uni-cans, no footers, airs
    and maybe sif hopping and riding...all of these are simple with a bit
    of practice and they will all help you achieve your goals of unispins
    and crankflips.

  13. alright

    1.hoptwist= hop and you and the uni both twist..it can be 90 degrees
    180 degres or 360 degrees or anywhere in between
    2. unicans are where you stop, reach down, grab the tire, take both
    your feet off for a second then put them back and ride off.
    3.no footers are where just one foot will come off its pedal and air
    for a sec ten go back on and rid away.
    4.airs are where you jump and lod the uni but the uni stays on the
    ground and your whole bady comes off then back on and ride away
    5. sif hopping/riding is just riding or hopping with the seat held with
    a hand in front rather than under neath you(this one requires
    ballance.)

    Haha, thats not a no footer. A no footer is where you jump off the uni
    (it can stay on the ground or in the air) then you land back on it. If
    only 1 foot comes off then its a 1 footer, see the pattern?πŸ˜‰

  15. Dude you are so wrong. As spencer said no footers are both feet come
    off.
    Your spelling is bad, some of your post was hard to read. I know you
    can spell and are just trying to write quick but please read over it or
    concentrate more. I know my English isnt perfect but please.
