  2. If you want to be freestyle, try wheelwalking.

    If you want to be street or trials, maybe seat out front hopping and
    crank grabs.

  5. wheelwalking, and all its variants sound like it's within your ability
    to learn, as well as seat on side, spins, and all that silly street
    stuff people seem to like 😄

    Actually, I'd recommend checking out unicyclist.org, and watching some
    of the videos Leo has put up. It's a great place to get ideas for what
    tricks to go after next.

    And don't forget to have fun while you're doing it!

  8. Wheelwalk before unispins?! I can ride 1ft'ed and I can unispin, but I
    can't WW for the life of me.

  9. Hello,

    When i had your level, i started doing some street/trial without knowing
    that i had a freestyle uni, not designed for this. I busted it
    riding/jumping stairs, doing crank grabs and little drops.

    I suppose you've got the same uni you started with (a freestyle) so
    www.unicyclist.org which has been proposed earlier will give you a
    bunch of ideas of things to work. So as the videos posted on this
    newsgroup.

    I think it will come naturally, but working new things as the WW
    advised, you should practice too the skills you already have :

    1foot with both feet (turning the opposite way of the riding foot is the
    more tricky),
    idle 1 foot,
    riding and turning backward looking backward,
    push the seat out riding close to the seat drag,
    hop seat out,
    hop up stairs ( 2 or more steps each jump).

    I can now 1fww and glide downhill a few meters but i don't have landed
    any unispin yet whereas i tried it a couple of times.

  11. I'd say, you should learn gliding. Well, gliding is a very comfortable
    way to get down a hill, or whereever it goes down. Anyway, gliding is,
    in my opinion, a very nice trick to do. Because you go forward without
    pedaling. Once you get it, you'll see it makes a lot of fun, just to
    glide down somewhere. Or if enough trained, you can glide on a flat
    scene ~50meters +/- with good starting speed.

    So maybe you have to learn some tricks before, which make it easier to
    learn gliding. Therefore I'd say, start with ww -> 1ftww, gliding. Once
    you did 1ftww, try to put your feet on the tyre without looking what you
    are doing, so putting your feet on, while you focus something that is
    50meters ahead of you. That will take some fears, if you have to put on
    your feet on the tyre while you are riding.

    Ride on
