    ok so i was sick the other day and had nothing better to do than think
    of things to do on a uni. im not good enough to acually do it and
    correct me if i am wrong for saying i invented this trick. but anyways
    :
    1. you would have two rails set up with a space
    between
    them (one behind the other, in a line)
    2. you grind the first rail
    3. then do a 180, 360, or 540 (if you are really
    good). do it with
    combos of landing on the 2nd rail on the opposite

    pedal/ opposite side of the rails as you started
    the trick.

    so on some of these you would land backwards and on the other pedal. i
    just thought it would look really cool

    IF i am the inventor of this trick, I, hereby name (and claim) these
    tricks the "rail-to-rail" tricks. and all of the combos such as a
    "rail-to-rail 180, 360, 540" AND "rail-to-rail switch" AND all the
    "rail-to-rail 180, 360, 540 switch" tricks. (you end up on the other
    side with a switch)

    sorry if it seemed like i was blabbing but i have just been sitting
    around too long. lol

    P.S. shaun (or anyone else who is good), that would be awsome if
    you videotaped some of these. it would be soooo awsome to see it!!!

    In one of Shauns night session video, he has a ledge on one side, and
    another ledge on his other side. He did a grind on the first one,
    jumped over and grinded on the other.

    Thats what I was thinking. Its just one grind after another, with a
    180, 360 or 540 in between!

    I remember seeing an old skating video with Daewon Song where he does
    this or at least something similar. So its not exactly a new trick but
    more of an adaptation of one already in existence, would look cool if
    pulled off tho

    During that night session vid I had some more ideas on how to slide
    those perfect benches. Setting them up in a line and trying to trick to
    the next grind was one of them (as well as, setting them up closing to
    be forced to do a grind and blind at the same time, angled slide to
    striaght slide, and what not). We got kicked out though on my last
    night before I could really get into it. So it sucks, but oh well. I
    don't see a 540 happening, it's tricky to trick off ledge grinds. And
    maybe if they were both angled downward, and the second was a slight
    drop to grind, giving more time for the trick, that would be a lot more
    possible.

    i agree with johnfoss.
    The trick should be named whatever the person who pulls it off wants it
    to be, not the person who thinks it up.
    I have thought up some sick tricks, but never seen them done by anyone,
    a few are rediculously hard and nearly impossible, but maybe I'll do
    one off that 10 set (just kidding guys im not retarded, or maybe I am.)

    The thing is though, its not new. Its been done a lot in other sports.

    would be cool to see someone go do a grind, manage a 180 or 360 with a
    rev, then land into another grind.

    its new to unicycling
    we come up w/ whatever name we want, but this, this is not a trick, it
    is a combo.
