Re: Street Tricks

well heres what youre forgetting:
-blunt slide (where you hop over the rail and grind it)
-grinds can be done with either front or back pedal
-drop kick grinds (where you drop the seat and catch it on your foot,
then kick it back up)
-no foot wheel grabs have been done
-180 no footers
-remember you can ride backwards into tricks
-remember you can do tricks with either your right foot forward or left
foot forward (called switch if you use the wrong foot)
-180 grind
-grind 180 out
-180 grind 180 out
-180 wheel grab
basically you can combine any of the moves on the list to get something
crazy. and dont leave out like hopping big sets and hopping over
handrails and stuff. i mean its not the number of tricks you can do that
makes you good at street. its how you present your style and how big you
can go while still staying technical. like hopping a 6 set isnt that
big. and doing a flat ground 1 footer isnt that big. but if you throw a
one footer down a 6 set, its a pretty good trick (if i do say so myself
haha). just stay original and go big. thats my theory. anyways, peace,
Kevin

Yeah, some of those trick seem self explanatory, but others are just
hard to imagine.

but on the grab sid eof it theres lots of diffrent places to grab the
tire like in skate an inline, so a diffrent place on the tire makes for
a diffrent grab;

tire grab (same hand same side of tire)
mute grab (left hand left side ot tire)
shifie grab (pull a [censored] big enough so you can grab the bottem edge of
your tire ((i havent landed one yet cos i cart get enough air time).

these are the only inline inspired brbs i have but i guess you could do
them all fakie (with the oppisite hand) and backside ( same position as
regular jus behind the frame)

a crankflip is a trick that few have landed. i certainly havent. its
when you hop, kick the front pedal down, remove both your feet, let the
wheel spin 360 degrees, catch the pedals, and finally come back down on
the ground. extremely difficult trick, but it will become a pretty
popular one im sure.

Ok, here's a street-ish trick/mount I came up with:
It's a wallrun (like in parcouring) to a suicide freemount. I've only
done this when somebody was holding the unicycle though...

Here's another thing I did recently which I think qualifies as a street
trick even thought it's not rails or air(drop tricks? I figure since we
unicyclists never do get much air..) tricks: It's basicly a tweek of the
tyre-hop. So yeah, you tyre-hop facing a wall, drop the saddle and lean
the whole unicycle on the wall while remaining on the tyre. You can then
either flick the frame back up with your feet (for extra coolness) or
simply reach down and grab it.

or let the wheel spin 180 degrees. I think it looks must impressive when
you spin the wheel backwards, so the wheel has to change direction when
you lant.

My personal favorite is the guy in Universe 2 (the trailer, I haven't
seen the movie) who pedal/crank grabs (I can't tell) and flips his uni
all the way around. I thought of doing that the day I heard people did
jumps on unicycles and seeing it made me really happy.

I have been trying to learn a trick i have never seen before. It's when
you hop in mid air pull out the seat,thus in seat out position then push
it back in which is the hard part due to kh saddle fatness!

I have problems learning seat out riding because the back of the saddle
(which is presently a Torker CX seat, but will soon be a KH) knocks my
legs around. Is a miyata any different?

Kind of a thread jack, but whatever.

it's probably the way you're holding the seat... eventually you'll get
used to it. try holding it further away from your body

Dallin Stoker invented something sort of like this. You hop seat in
front, then when the tire comes up grab the bottom of it. He calls it
"The Stoke."
You can see it in the U.N.I. trailer.
