the main tip I give people is hand positioning...The noob hand
positioning is puting one hand on the handle and another near the
bumper...The best way is to keep them both on one side and more toward
the middle, I tried takin a pic on my phone this might help..Hold the
seat like this...

That is really really crazy how you took the picture with both your
hands in it.
But anyway.
I agree with what you're saying, you need your hands as in the first
picture so that you can really spin it (mostly using the hand in the
middle of the seat) instead of just rotating it.
Try just spinning your unicycle 360 degrees in one spot.

That's a bummer, your eyes seem to be pretty low resolution and grainy.
But handy! Could you show a shot of your hand position/location
when the seat is about halfway around? *Blink*

John, from the position that cody has given us, I would then use my
right hand, the one closest to the handle, to spin the uni. The other
hand I would really only use to balance the uni before and after the
spin, So basically, jump and spin the uni with your right hand.
Obviously this changes depending on what hands you use and what way you
spin, if you hold the uni like Cody it would be the left hand I would
be spinning with.

Hope that was clear and hope it helps.

Jason

I hold it that way..and it works fine at least for 360's and 540's so
why is it 'nooby'?
