    Yeah, it says it should be ready in about 110 minutes! Man, you gotta
    youtube it. Besides, the volume can't be adjusted on vimeo! I can
    adjust volume everywhere else; youtube, google, whatever, except vimeo!

  4. Well, just spin a bit faster and remember to land your feet in the place
    where you jumped, you're close and should have them soon.

  5. This is just how I do it, I jump hard down to get bounce out of the tyre
    which allows me to jump higher more easily and I seem to have more
    control that way. You just jump off the uni without using the bounce
    off the tyre to boost you up. Try jumping just as you bounce off the
    ground, it might help.

    You can adjust it on vimeo, the volume thing looks like this (to the
    right of the thing that shows how far into the video you've gotten):

  8. From what I can see, you're not making a committment to the landing. You
    don't believe you will succeed so you're heading for a bail before you
    even find out. Try making the landing (on the cranks or pedals; I
    learned it to the pedals) and then jumping again to get your feet (and
    crotch) free. When you hit that landing you'll know if it's something
    you can hop out of or not, but the "safety" jump should eliminate some
    of the scary part.

  11. It doesn't seem like you are staying over the unicycle, but you are
    still commiting.

    It looks like you jump away from the unicycle a little bit, and you
    still try to hit the cranks, so you fall.

    Be sure you jump straight up, and practice on grass, so those bails
    don't kill.

  13. O and jump a little higher, I practised 180 uni spins for ages, not
    really making any progress. Then I jumped a little higher and they were
    easy after that.
