    Has anyone ever tried putting handle bars on their uni. I put some Razor
    skooter handle bars on mine, it was pretty fun, and I found you could do
    regular tricks like unispins hoppin on the wheel no footers and such.

    I always like your photos. Looks like the dogs have fun watching you.

    The dogs may have fun watchin me, but they seem to always be in the
    way,especially when goin backwards or backwards one footed, Its as if
    they think I can see where Im going and can stop for them to pass. And
    it really is impossible to take a picture without one of my five dogs in
    it pestering me.

    Has anyone who ever tried this been able to unispin or things like that,
    I found that foot planting on the back of the wheel was easier with the
    handle bars. Ohh, yes the handle bars were sideways for wheel hoppin
    cause I really didn't want to try that with the narrow bar underneath me
    waiting for me to fall on it.

    How come none of the pictures I see from others dont have annoying dogs
    in them? How many others have tried this, and how many were able to pull
    of tricks.

    I'm bringing this back up to show what type of area I'm forced to ride
    in and how in the middle of the desert I really am, and to warn anyone
    who tries this, Don't d a 360 jump mount, In the name of your
    grandchildren just NO.

    Iv,e put handel bars on a uni before,but they were old bicycle handel
    bars,and were much wider.
    It sucked.it was eseir to ride with one hand in the middle than with two
    hand on the hand grips.
