It struck me recently that a still stand may be the core skill of unicycling! -- befallin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ befallin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9424 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43817 |

While a useful skill for a lot of things, I think just basic riding and staying on is the core skill. -- Gilby ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gilby's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43817 |

still stand is an important skill for trials I think.. because if you can sitll stand you wont need to pre-hopbefore your big hop and the longer you can still stand the more blanace on skinny thing you will have.. wel thats what i think -- maxisback ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maxisback's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10885 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43817 |

I don't think there's one core skill.. but a still stand is definetly one of the most important. After developing my still stand to over 30 seconds or so, MANY things are a lot easier. Freestyle stuff, trials stuff, even muni stuff, and obviously skinnies. It's one of those things that when you improve it, you improve in every other aspect of unicycling.

I have thought about this. It seems to be the only skill that almost all the top riders, regardless of riding style, are good at. -- sevenasterisks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sevenasterisks's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43817 |

yeah but you can be one of the worlds top rider without having the greatest still stand.. I mean it is a really good skill ot have but let's say in trials id prefer to ahve a really high-side hop then a good still stand.. -- maxisback ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maxisback's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10885 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43817 |

i don't know, the still stand is imperative but i think fluently idling is the root of maneuverability and control on a uni. -- VersatileWhale ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VersatileWhale's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10850 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43817 |

trials fundemental would be hopping... you would be useless if you could still stand awesome and not be able to hop. wouldn't you? it is a really good thing to practice though. if you practice nothing else practice this one. like fcwegnm0b (wierd name dude) said, everything gets easier if you got a good stillstand -- tomsey -those f**king clowns are gunna die- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomsey's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7038 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43817 |

maxisback wrote: yid prefer to ahve a really high-side hop then a good still stand.. In my experience big sidehops are essentially useless, unlewss I feel like jumping up gigantic, flat, square surfaces. I rarely encounter interesting trials lines with hops bigger than 30", and even then a pedalgrab can, with some effort, replace a big hop. Hopping for trials is definitely more useful than stillstands, however once you can hop 24-30", a stillstand is the next thing to develop. It's one thing to get your tire onto a rail, it's another thing to keep it there. -- gerblefranklin http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Trials-Muni Nick's main man.
