  1. If you hvae seen either of my videos, you know that I have a small
    wooden jump that I ride over alot, and have ridden off of a curb. I
    would now like to jump UP onto those things. For the curb, I have put
    my pedal so that it is on the curb, pulled the uni up as high as it
    will go, and jumped, but it won't work.... Any advice for someone who
    is learning to jump?

  2. keep your pedals parellel to the ground and instead of bending your legs
    to hop, flex your ankles and use the tire's bounce to your advantage.

  4. whats your tire pressure at? a low tire pressure will help, I'd say like
    10 psi.

    the impact apparently wasn't good for the wheel...

  5. that also depends on how much you weigh and what kind of tire it is.

  7. hey, you want the cranks HORIZONTAL!!!!!

    now, jump as high as you can like on flat ground(without the unicycle)
    and keep enough pressure on the handle to hold it on your feet, and
    start w/ the pressure on the handle before you jump so that you don't
    feel all akward
    uhm just let it feel comfortable 🙂

    if it isn't a trials tire he needs to run recommended pressure, putting
    spring in a non trials/muni tire will do him little good and will mess
    up the unicycle faster

  10. Just practice hopping, trying to go higher and higher, and side hops

    In my uneducated opinion you want to do both.
