What is this trick?

Goats_On_Unicycles · 2007-07-16T04:33:14+00:00

I've seen Brian do it a couple times in Defect and it's really cool but I have no clue what it's called. I always thought of it as being feet-off-the-frame coasting but I don't know for sure. I filmed it today. He're's the li' (XPF4hA1XaXM)nk. Anybody know what it's called?? Thanks and Peace, Jackie -- Goats_On_Unicycles If you don't support gay marriage you don't have to marry me.

Looks like about half a revolution of coasting, maybe 3/4. Cool, but a
teeny coast.

Does it count as a different trick? My feet aren't on the frame... It's
hard to see though...

Could you film it again or even better film it a few times from diffent
angles? looks quite cool, would it be posible to take your feet off to
the side?

Call it something like a foot lift? Or a feet lift. Best with more
exaggeration of the movement, like feet out to the sides, or really
high. Still, it's kind of a brief variation on coasting, which is a
really hard trick with a really boring name. I wouldn't suggest
changing the name of coasting, because that's what it is; it's just
that people don't appreciate what it means to coast on a unicycle.
That's not likely to change no matter what we call it.
