New Trick Idea!

Jerrick · 2006-03-15T06:26:49+00:00

Well, im sure everyone knows what a kickflip or a heelflip is on a skateboard, now lets add that to unicycling. I'm picturing it like this; do some hopping on the cranks while the seat is on the ground, either in front of you, or behind you, then jump and have the uni spin like a skater would spin his board for a kickflip (flipping the wheel my be a challange...), then land back on the cranks. I see a lot of potential with this, and i dont think ive ever seen it before on a uni, be kinda like a flat uni-spin, or a groun uni-spin, not sure what it would be called, or just say its a kickflip =p, but we could do 180s, 360s, 540s, maybe a 720 =p, and then add more roations and flips to it, like ( i dont remember what is called but where you bring the seat from behind to you, to infront of you) but while doing that add a little 180\360 to it, and you could add spins so you land the oppesite way form when you first jumped, or do a full 360. I'm not to great at doing street\flatland\freestyle tricks yet, but im gonna be practicing this tomorrow, and everyone else should try it too =p Correct me if im wrong, but to me, this is a new trick, cause in all the videos ive seen, ive never seen it done, and all other comments will be nice, cause we can add lots of variations to it lol -- Jerrick What would you do to me if i was passed out on your bed? o.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47766

Well, im sure everyone knows what a kickflip or a heelflip is on a
skateboard, now lets add that to unicycling.
I'm picturing it like this; do some hopping on the cranks while the
seat is on the ground, either in front of you, or behind you, then jump
and have the uni spin like a skater would spin his board for a kickflip
(flipping the wheel my be a challange...), then land back on the
cranks.
I see a lot of potential with this, and i dont think ive ever seen it
before on a uni, be kinda like a flat uni-spin, or a groun uni-spin,
not sure what it would be called, or just say its a kickflip =p, but we
could do 180s, 360s, 540s, maybe a 720 =p, and then add more roations
and flips to it, like ( i dont remember what is called but where you
bring the seat from behind to you, to infront of you) but while doing
that add a little 180\360 to it, and you could add spins so you land
the oppesite way form when you first jumped, or do a full 360.
I'm not to great at doing street\flatland\freestyle tricks yet, but im
gonna be practicing this tomorrow, and everyone else should try it too
=p
Correct me if im wrong, but to me, this is a new trick, cause in all
the videos ive seen, ive never seen it done, and all other comments
will be nice, cause we can add lots of variations to it lol

I think that trick borders the impossible, but if you can pull it off
then I would really like to see it.

You might be able to grip the wheel with your legs, jump (pivoting the
uni around the seat which is on the ground), then release the wheel
giving the top of the wheel a kick sideways. This might work perfectly
or just hurt :p . I might give it ago on the weekend. Wish me luck
cause i can't even unispin :o 😄

From a physics point of view, I can easily imagine this being possible.
You need to somehow add a huge amount of rotational velocity to the
wheel in the sideways direction, and one way to do that is to stand on
1 crank and place the other foot on the top of the tyre (or hook it
under the rim to help you hop). Do a little hop, then kick the tyre
sideways, tucking up to avoid the other side of the wheel, then land on
both cranks as they come back around.
Don't get me wrong, this trick is doable, but it will be incredibly
hard to pull off.

I just got out of the shower, and while i was in there, i was thinking,
seeing how ill be standing on the cranks, i can put my front part of my
shoe somewhat under the pedal, while the heel of that one foot will
still be on crank.
So when i jump, i just kick up with that part hopefully rotating the
uni =p
And now i gotta get my stuff ready for school, cya later, ill tell how
i progress on this trick when i get home =p
EDIT: we just got about 2-inches of snow on the ground, today is gonna
be interesting lol, and from looking at that diagram of the guy hitting
the tire to spin, im gonna try that, but keep half my foot on the
crank, half under the pedal, so i can kick the tire with one foot,
while flipping the uni up with the other.
