I've been practicing the 180° unispin and 90° pedal-to-tire for the past
week or so, and have only been successful with the latter. I just need
to practice, practice, practice.

As I'm on my computer some nights, watching uni videos, I like to take
out my uni and practice in my room

It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

Yesterday I rode out of a backward coast. It was only about ten feet,
but it still felt great. I also rode out of stand-up wheel walk backward
for the first time. That great feeling I get whenever I nail something
really good is probably what's addicted me to freestyle riding.
Congratulations on your first level ten skill!

Whereabouts in Iowa do you live? If your anywhere close to des moines
you should come down to greys lake and mess around with a few of us.

probably. there's quite a club at ISU(i live in ames). are you the nick
that goes(went) to DMACC and come to juggling club? if so, "hi". if
not"hello anyway.

tips for learning it:
don't worry so much about the landing at first. i'm not real solid but
landed 2 more (of about 10 tries) today. just get your feet out of the
way of the uni, spin it really fast, then get your feet back towards the
pedals. landing on the cranks is the only way i've landed it, managed to
get back on the pedals and ride seat out briefly today. also keep the
uni under you. in earlier attempts i would basically keep my front hand
in the same place and pivot the uni around that point, resulting in it
being farther away from my body, and thus almost impossible to land.
that's all i can think of.
