I'm still learning (my unispins are crazy sketchy!)

BUT

I found it really useful to practice 180 jump mounts:
Jumping up and spinning the unicycle 180 degrees before landing on it.

AND

When seat out, jump and spin the unicycle 180 degrees. Good practice on
getting your spins fast.

I struggled because I wasn't spinning the unicycle fast enough. Be sure
to spin it from the top instead of the sides.

Moment = FORCE x DISTANCE FROM PIVOT

To get faster spin, spin the unicycle from the centre of the seat!

Hope this helps. It probably helped me writing it!

When you juggle you don't have to think about catching the balls.
You just have to remember where your hand need to be to for the ball to
land in it!

I think it's the same with unispins.

*Remember what position your feet need to be in*
*Keep yourself over your unicycle*
*Do a full, complete spin.*

Am I wrong? Like I said, I'm still learning them :p. Keeping these
things in mind's helped me land more.

661s are essential for learning guys. the main reason you can't land is
cause your brain is thinking, ok if I miss, this is gonna hurt, so
subconsciencly you are trying to stop yourself getting hurt. Once you
apply 661s that fear is illiminated and then practise comes into play.
Just go for it, jump, spin, land, simple as that.

A g r e e d c o m p l e t e l y !

I've had some amazing pedal bites from trying unispins!

I've actuly got a whole in the front of my right 661 from when i landed
on one pedal and the other went SMACK into my leg. It was awsome!
Didn't feel a thing.

Increasing your hangtime will help you complete your spin and get your
feet back in place. Keep the uni on the ground when you jump, and try
jumping a little higher each time until you land the trick. You don't
have to kick your feet out very far... just get up there, spin the uni,
then get your feet back together. As others have said, you've got a
lot to land on when you consider both the pedals and the cranks.

Most of all, just relax, and practice the move a lot. Your muscles
will have to learn the trick (to get your feet in the right place at
the right time) as well as your brain, and generally your muscles take
longer to learn.
