smallspin/varial help

I do them one handed from seat in (and can't do them any other way).
Start turning quite a long time before you jump to get the momentum for
the body spin, get your feet back on the pedals.

varial: you twist to the same direction as the uni
small spin: you twist to the opposite direction of the uni

varial: do it one handed from seat in to seat out, ride straight , then
do a quick turn and just a 180 unispin seat in to seat out.. your body
will automatically spin, cause of the momentum (like pete66 said 🙂)

small spin: get confident with 360 unispins. ride straight, then do a
quick turn to the opposite direction of where you will spin your uni..
do a 360 unispin and you have your small spin.

doing a 180/180 varial instead of a 90/180 one and a 180/360 small spin
instead of a 90/270 one will come with the time..

i hope i said, what i meant :o)

Hey Jabbath, I always call a 180/360 a bigspin (and not a small spin).

I think of smallspins as being just varials (180/180) from seat out...

I can do varials (seat in to out) just fine, but I don't even bother
with "smallspins" (seat out to out). For some reason it's just harder.

oh.. yup my mistake.. that's what i meant ;90/270 will become a 180/180
with the time 🙂 and i made another mistake: i tought an inward spin
would be called a small spin... so my small spin advice is actually
inward spin advice..

Hi,

I found easier doing a varial with no speed, so if you don't fly with
your rolling 180° it's not actually a problem. Otherwise, when
combining with the unispin i fly away a land miles away from my uni.

To do the unispin from seat in i do it one-handed. I firmly hold the
handle and throw the uni in front of me after jumping.
You can watch videos of Tomsey (Alex Toms) he masters a lot of tricks
from seat in.

No, a varial and small spin are the same exact movements but a small
spin is from sif and a varial is from si. Add a flip in there and it is
a varial flip or 180/180 flip depending on where your seat is.

When you spin the opposite direction of the uni then it is called an
inward unispin or inward small spin. Those are pretty awkward. Add a
flip in there and you have an inward flip.

Edit: oops you corrected it...I guess I should keep reading before I
post stuff🙄
