If you can do a 180 unispin how many hours of practice did it take you
to land one because I've worked on it for about a total of 6 hours over
the past 2 days (2 hours yesterday and 4 hours today) and I still can't
land one, the closest I got was I got both my feet on each pedal but
then I fell off backwards. I'm starting to get pretty ****ed off.

If you're getting both feet on the pedals, you're really close and keep
trying, you'll land them soon. I found it helpful once I could get both
feet back on to learn them on cement so I would hop higher. Good luck!

ok well i've been doing them on the cement the whole time and I
practiced for about another hour and a half today and I'm still no
better than I was yesterday, when I spin the seat I keep on pushing it
forward and i just don't know how to stop doing that. And for the guy
who posted the video, I've probably tried about 1000 times, When I
worked on it for 4 hours yesterday, at about hour 3 I told myself that I
wasn't going to stop until I either landed one or I fell so hard that I
could barely walk. The only reason it makes me so angry is because both
of my friends that I ride with can land one, and one of my friends
landed one with about 10 minuets of practice.

I know what it feels like to not be able to do something when your
friends can, it kinda sucks (for me it's coasting). But I'm surprised
you haven't landed one yet. What's your hand positioning like? Remember
to stay over it, and maybe 180 unispin mounts would help if you can't do
them already. Besides that, I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Don't worry about it man, I have been trying the 180 unispin for over a
year and still can't get it. I practice it almost everyday, I probally
have around 50 straight hours of practice into it. My friend who rode
for about a month learned them in about an hour.

I can land them with my right foot only. I'm actually about 90%
consistent landing 180 unispins with my right foot.

Yeah, I'm gunna try to get the 180 mount because I can land it when I
start with the seat backwards and then I spin it and land on the seat
but I cant land it with the seat forwards and I land just on the pedals,
so hopefully that will help.

If you care about your body, then jump only when you have to. In fact
you only have to jump once:
http://www.unicyclist.org/cont/play....3202401802seat

Countdown firm from 3 to 1 and jump on 0 without hesitating or delay,
and jump high (the higher the more time you have to spin) and spin fast!
