What to learn?
Hello everybody, I'm new to unicycling, I have my own unicycle since Thursday and now I'm a lvl1 unicyclist. My question is; what should I learn next? I like Trial very much so I'd like to hop, but should I learn that first? Well, I hope somebody can help me Greetz -- valkyrion ------------------------------------------------------------------------ valkyrion's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15049 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

K, once you can ride, and turn very easily, ride the uni for pretty much forever, then you work on jumping, choose a foot to have back, most have their left back, I personally perfer the right. then once you get jumping try 180 hop twists. -- CKCrowe 1-5 Hours a day-Treyflip-next-Hickfakieflip Unicycler for Christ.

Start by doing little rolling hops: just ride, grab the handle and try to jump up and forwards. You'll get them down pretty soon. Also, try static hops next to a wall. Grab the wall with one hand and the handle with the other and just hop in one place. When you're confident like that, start hopping without a support, then up 7 seven pallets. Report when you make progress. -- ivan Read me! thank you.entropy isn't what it used to be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ivan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12759 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Ivan: Thank you for some really nice simple information. My son and I are just attempting hopping. He's getting a new Torker, I'm going to build one (20" uni) I think I'm more into building and designing. Any suggestions on how to learn to ride backwards?? or is it just practice practice practice. Thanks.

Qweld wrote: Any suggestions on how to learn to ride backwards?? or is it just practice practice practice. Thanks. Qweld. First off can you idle? Backwards is one of the few tricks I actually put the time in to learning over a short period of time. I think the best technique is to ride forward, stop and idle once then continue fowards. Then try to turn that idle in to a single revolution backwards, then ride out forward again. Increase the number of backwards revolutions you can do before having to ride forward again to regain balance. Once it's up to several turns then maybe switch to just trying to start riding backwards from stationary. As for hopping, pretty much what ivan saidput one hand flat on a wall, stand up on the pedals and hole the saddle with the other hand. Take your hand away from the wall before you try to hop. If the wall is rough you might want to wear a glove on that hand because you'll end up dragging your hand across the surface to stop yourself falling at some point, a rough plaster wall can remove a lot of skin that way. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'm right footed (right handed, right eyed and dunno what else, probably right eared too) and I've right foot front and left foot rear. Jumping left foot forward feels hard and wierd. -- henkka ------------------------------------------------------------------------ henkka's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13817 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

This goes to just about all the questions in this thread. If you are learning to hop just work on keeping the pedals level and hopping straight up. Don't try to go all out with your hopping at frist. Also try to rid off of curbs so that you get used to the landing. If you are anything like I was I could hop up but could not land on the uni. Also later on when you want to hop higher you are going to need to learn to ride Seat in front (SIF). Start working on this alittle here and there just to get used to the idea of not having your seat under you. Oh and the number one thing, practice alot!!
