Definitely a good thing you are among the non breeders.

That is epic, please be careful!

Yesturday I did crankflips standing on the pedals (not sitting) and they
seemed a lot easier (I didn't flip it behind, i kept it under me).
Does anyone else find it easier to do it standing up rather then stand
up when flipping?
Is this a bad habbit (for when learning down sets or outflips)?
Thanks for any help.

i didnt know you could sit on the pedals!. Seriously, there aren't
really any bad habits to crankflipping besides hops after and some say
doing flips 2 handed. I sit on the seat until right before I jump to do
the flip then I stand up and jump and do the flip.

k I got one for all you unispin lovers out there...

I have been working on my 360's latley and i keep having this issue
where i spin the uni (counter-clockwise) and when i go to land the arch
of my right foot hits the frame as if i was trying to land on the
cranks... now the pain can get so unbearable that i can practice for
more then like 15-20 minutes.. do i need to just suck it up and get
better? is there something out there i can use to protect my
feet(different shoes maybe?)

what do you think?

Landing on the cranks is practically essential when you first learn, so
I don't see anything wrong with that.

Do your shoes cover your ankles? If not, then I reccomend getting
shoes that protect your ankles.. baskeball sneakers work fine for that,
skate shoes are a no no (at least untill you learn them first).

Stay OVER the unicycle. Jump up, not backwards.

Try to jump HIGH, and spin the unicycle FAST.

If you are used to 180's it will seem like it is spinning very fast,
but as you get better and start landing them, it wont seem like it is
spinning all that much.

Everything else is the "suck it up" factor.

Phil-

I never landed on the cranks when learning unispins. Just aim for the
pedals more new shoes may help. I know you are a .... lets say "crafty
spender", but when the soles of my shoes start to get to thin it hurts
my feet to ride quite a bit. Maybe you can get some more life out of
them with some inserts....?

thanks Sam,
Ya, i may have been the only person that made it through NAUCC with
only .80 dollers

thats the way 180's are, straight to pedal...so i guess i got to suck
it up and make it happen. Sounds good
