Re: **Poll** - Next Trick Competition!!!

I hoptwist counterclockwise, and I unispin clockwise.

Is it normal/common to unipsin and hoptwist in opposite directions?

The reason I'm asking is because I was trying small spins, and I will
need to switch one of them to be able to do it. It makes it a lot
harder and I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem.

I both hoptwist and unispin clockwise, if you do it differently I would
sugest learning to hop twist in the oposite direction, although I only
tried to unispin in the oposite direction once or twice I think it will
be alot easier to learn hop twists rather than unispins.

^^^ I was thinking the same thing. I'm gonna try it later when I go
riding.

We defintly shouldn't do body varials, I landed one the other day after
about 5 tries.

I have an idea, why not a unicycle design competition. Yeah, i like
that. people could design what they want the next...and post them up on
these forums.

- *Unicycle*
- *BC*
- *UW*
- *Half fork unicycle*
- *Recumbent*
etc

When a bunch of you guys/gals have an idea let me know and i'll start a
new thread so you can post your designs and explain your creations and
discuss it with others. 😄

What do you guys think?? Me personally, i think it may become the next
big on these forums and it will expand peoples imaginations. 😄 😄

Oh god, theres no way I'll land a 540 hop twist in any reasonable amount
of time. Does anyone competing actually want to do those for the
competition or are other forum members voting for us to do them haha?

[-C-E-N-T-E-R-]-*-R-E-A-D- -T-H-I-S-*-[-/-C-E-N-T-E-R-]-

Alright...I think we have a bit of a predicament on our hands. I'm
skeptical to believe that 47 people intend to participate in this
competition. The idea of this poll was solely for those who intended to
partake in the competition to decide on what they'd like to try. I have
a feeling, like Brian said, that members of the forum who don't plan on
competing are voting for 540 twist just because they'd like to see
someone land one. Idk about you guys, but my 360's on flat are
terrible. I can't even do a 540 on my feet!

I'm not sure what to do about this. Brian suggested to me that we start
a new thread...a registration thread. Everyone who WANTS to compete
will register as they did in the previous competitions, but their vote
will be included with their personal information (in text).

-What do you guys think we should do?-

If those competiting wish to try a 540 twist, then so be it...but right
now I'm skeptical that these votes are legit.

I think that we should do a rolling distance hop instead of a trick. I
can rolling hop 4 feet, and I want to increase it to at least 6 or 7.

People could post how far they can hop, and we can see who can increase
it to.. for example.. 7 feet, first.

That would make for a good competition. Also, a hop height competition
might be fun. We could put those on the revised list after we figure
out to do for this competition.

You should have made it a public poll so you can see who voted. I think
540s would come more from experience and that wouldnt go so well in
something like this...I didn't vote because I can do everything on the
list (well except 540s).

That would've been good, but I like the registration idea better.
