I saw the thread topic and immediately thought of Elmer Fudd saying the
word "pirates". Pirates on unicycles? Sounds interesting.

Here's a tip on 'pirouettes'
(http://www.unicycling.org/unicycling/skills/pirouette.html) taken from
the 'USA Skill Levels page'
(http://www.unicycling.org/unicycling/skills/skills.html).

Oh, and a way to do an easier form of pirouette is to do what some call
'lollypopping'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41648). You ride
past a pole and slap the pole as you go by. That will cause you to
spin. If you do it right you can end up doing a pirouette of sorts.
Or you can have two riders ride towards each other. When you pass you
high five each other and cause you both to lollypop spin. Just don't
high five a pirate.

i cant do them but i know how to do them. you have to start riding in a
circle, and riding smoothly do tighter and tighter circles and finally
you will get striaght and spin on the spot.

If you dont have the right uni it will be really hard. They are pretty
much impossible on trials uni's because the cranks are too long and the
tyre is too grippy. I can only do them on a freestyle uni with short
cranks and lots of air in the tyre.

Just ride in really tight, smooth circles and lean into the turn as
much as you can.

My biggest problem is dizzyness (sp?) can anyone help?

Cheers,
Max

the most important factor I've found whn doing it on my giraffe uni(I
don't have a freestyle) is that you have to keep pedalling.

You don't pedal when you pirouette.

I don't know if the skill translates to uni, but try getting a ballet
dancer to teach you about spotting - as your body turns, turn your head
the other way (so you face the same way, focus on something that's at
eye height) as long as you can and then turn your head around very fast
and focus on the same spot again - that's the technique they use to 1)
face the audience while pirouetting/spinning and 2) keep from getting
dizzy. Damn there's no dizzy smiley, we -NEED- a dizzy smiley!🙁 😉

In that case pirouettes are going to be difficult. A trials tire
doesn't like to pirouette. Too much tire traction and too big of a
tire contact patch with the ground. You'll also wear down your trials
tire very quickly.

If you want to play with pirouettes or spins on a trials uni do it in
the dirt rather than pavement or concrete. Find a place with slippery
dusty dirt. Or find a place that has a light coating of dusty dirt or
sand over concrete. You're going to need something to reduce the
friction so you can get a pirouette style spin.

This may be a dumb question, but could you pour some vegetable oil or
something on a flat, smooth surface and use that to learn?
