You'll have to forgive the extra short shorts and long socks, the photo
was taken in the 1980s.
For future reference, each item in the Things not to do can be accessed
by putting the # and number at the end of the link, like this:

Yeah, 1983! That's how we all dressed, either running shorts or
cutoffs! Anyone wearing cycling shorts in those days stood out as a
weirdo, believe it or not.
Quoted message said:How fast we can go from standing still to bouncing, would it be faster
or slower than just someone (without a uni) jumping?
Slower. You can compress your legs more without a unicycle there.
Unless you did it SIF perhaps, with the extra weight of the unicycle
you might get going quicker than without?
Quoted message said:Would the trampoline mat provide enough grip on the tyre to allow
multi-unispins in the air?
If you're on one like the one in my linked picture you'll have more
grip than you know what to do with. The thing was absolutely
unrideable-on due to excessive grip. And thats with a skinny,
high-pressure 1.75" tire.
Quoted message said:Would the giant bounce allow for triple or quadruple crankflips, or even
higher numbers?
Yes.
Quoted message said:Would a somersault on a uni be possible?
Yes, but not easy. The "taller" you are, the slower you rotate so the
more energy you need to get that rotation going. I learned this by
trying to do dives off a diving board with a unicycle. Try to do it
like you would without and you'll bellyflop over and over! 🙂
