  1. hey i live close to a skate park . im wondering what type of tricks can
    u do at the park. how do u drop in on the halfpipe and how far do u
    have to lean down. what about ramps? how much speed do u need to get
    air? should u be leaning back or forward? what tricks are possible in
    the pipe? thx

  3. When riding at a skatepark, make sure you can rolling hop. Nothing will
    [censored] skaters more than having you go all slowly in their way and
    then stop to hop around for a bit. Keep everything smooth and flowing.
    Tricks like grinds and manny pads are well suited to skateparks, just
    be sure to always stay moving otherwise get out of peoples way
    otherwise you are being rude and will be treated as such.

  4. as for dropping in, you dont lean, you keep your body straight. Its
    really a pointless trick. As for ramps, you dont get air off them,
    there's just not enough speed. And if you go in a halfpipe you'll just
    look stupid and [censored] skaters. There's really no such thing as
    vert/ramp unicycling, you cant get enough speed.

  7. but you forget the weight difference. sure the hub might be pretty heavy
    for the guni, but if its a 20" it will be much more manuverable.

  8. I don't think vert is a place unicycling can ever go, unless someone can
    do a coasted drop in to things. Which is pretty unlikely. As for
    dropping in tips, just keep straight and don't stand up - stay right
    down on the seat. 🙂
