unispins

firstly, yes i can already do a 180 unispin however, whenever i practice
them i always seem to sprain my wrist. i can do it once or twice but
anymore than that makes it sore. it may be because im accidentally and
instinctivly trying to land seat in, which means that i land on my
wrist or it may be due to the seat height or my technique. i also find
that the seat handle gets in the way. if anyone has any ideas on what
could be causing this or has had the same problem let me know.

try having your seat a little lower.. and i find with 180 unispins it is
bewtter to land seat out but for 360 it is better to land seat in.
thats all i got for you now!

post a vid so i can see your exactly hand moments, at the moment I can
imagine what you're doing to hurt your wrist because I think I used to
do the same thing.
Get the vid up and I'll try and help from there.

yeh i found a new way to hold the seat so that there is not as much
pressure on my wrist. i also made the seat slightly higher so i could
reach it better for sif. before i had to like bend over. also for
anyone learning i ?think? that mayby combining a 90 or so body varial
with a 90 degree or so unispin may make it easier to learn. im not
sure. ill try it and let you know.

i havent tried that but it seems harder. in a unispin you just spin the
uni, with the 90-90degree thing you have to move your body as well as
the uni so it may be harder but dont take my word for it.
