Street Unicycling, at all like skateboarding to you?

Yo,

I think looking at the axies that a unicycle can "spin" on, it is
related much to a skateboard. I'm not trying to to closely relate it to
anything of the sort, only to small extents. But i'm wondering if anyone
has gotten any ideas of tricks from skateboarding. I base all my flip
tricks on them, and that's kinda how I move about it. Just wondering
what you think. Laters

-Shaun Johanneson

p.s. Mainly talking to the street riders, but anyone can say anything.

I think it is tuff to relate Street Uni to skateboarding when comparing
tricks. I think street unicycling has more of a skateboarding style and
flow, but more of a BMX trick composistion(only unicycle tricks to me
seem more tight,quick,flowed). Street Uni you tend to hit stuff that
both BMX riders and Skaters would hit.
So...Well Ya thats how I view it.

Street Unicycling seems to me to be a combination of BMX and
skateboarding...except not using a bike or a skateboard.
I think that BC Wheeling is the closest related to skateboarding.
Except no one has gotten reeaally good at that yet, so a decent BC
Wheeler is pretty much nothin compared to a decent skater.

BC and skateboarding are hard to compare because something really simple
on a bc is alot harder than more complex things on a skateboard. I
skated for a few weeks last year and i could heelflip, kickflip, 180 and
shuv it and stuff which is more complex than what i can do on a bc but
for me it was alot easier to learn that stuff on a skateboard than it
was for me to learn to ride, hop and do simple tricks on the bc. I
havent ridden my bc in a while but i have gotten pretty close to landing
a shuv it (or BCspin what ever you want to call it) and its harder than
anything i have tried on a skateboard.

Yeah, I don't think I would have came up with the crankflip if it wasn't
for skateboarding. I think that's why i kick my feet out to the sides
when i do it, I figured it'd have to be done with the same foot movement
as a kickflip on a skateboard. What really makes it feel like a skate
type trick, is doing it off picnic tables and over stair gaps, having to
catch the cranks in the air.
