  1. Ok I've recently started working on all flip tricks. And have nailed
    quite a few and am using them when ever possible. But I need some more
    flatland in my riding. It's like it's just grind's, big sets and flip
    tricks. I suck ass at flat land like the most I can do is like leg
    wraps. So could some one help me out with flatland I've never really
    worked on it and don't really know any cool stuff I could do without
    being a loser and copying other peoples stuff.

  3. First copy other peoples stuff then when you get good at it then make
    some stuff up. It is easier to land things when you have seen them done
    before so watch Dan or Xav to get some ideas.

  5. For one street is more than what you stated. lol. But yeah flatland you
    have to learn other peoples moves before you can invent anything
    serious. That's a hard thing for people to understand, if you're not
    hitting the top of some of the tricks (one type of trick) out there,
    most likely what you think you invented has all ready been done.

  6. What's the difference between flatland and freestyle?

    Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

    It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
    your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
    doubt.

    Don't worry about looking like a dork for diff color cranks. You ride a
    uni, lol.

    There's not really a big difference. Flatland seems to be more
    stationary tricks like wraps and leg arounds while freestyle tricks
    like coasting and gliding can be done over distance.

  9. Like has been said before, Xavier, Dan and Shaun have alot of good
    flatland stuff in their vids. Inparticular Dan, who seems to invent
    flatland tricks like it's nothing.

    helps if your going really big. If there's no fear, (tech stuff), it
    doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.

    The main difference is that Freestyle has a detailed definition (see
    IUF or USA rulebooks), while flatland does not. Flatland is a word
    borrowed from bicycling or other sports, which probably has detailed
    definitions in those sports but there's not such thing as a Flatland
    competition event for unicycling. Yet. We have this thing called Open-X
    which is almost flatland, but it was designed for a gym so I wouldn't
    say it counts unless we tweak the rules a bit.

    Yes, you have to learn the tricks that already exist to give you a base
    set of skills. You can't really invent anything new until you know
    what's already been invented, or at least what's already fairly well
    known...
