If you want to be freestyle, try wheelwalking.

If you want to be street or trials, maybe seat out front hopping and
crank grabs.

wheelwalking, and all its variants sound like it's within your ability
to learn, as well as seat on side, spins, and all that silly street
stuff people seem to like

Actually, I'd recommend checking out unicyclist.org, and watching some
of the videos Leo has put up. It's a great place to get ideas for what
tricks to go after next.

And don't forget to have fun while you're doing it!

Wheelwalk before unispins?! I can ride 1ft'ed and I can unispin, but I
can't WW for the life of me.

Hello,

When i had your level, i started doing some street/trial without knowing
that i had a freestyle uni, not designed for this. I busted it
riding/jumping stairs, doing crank grabs and little drops.

I suppose you've got the same uni you started with (a freestyle) so
www.unicyclist.org which has been proposed earlier will give you a
bunch of ideas of things to work. So as the videos posted on this
newsgroup.

I think it will come naturally, but working new things as the WW
advised, you should practice too the skills you already have :

1foot with both feet (turning the opposite way of the riding foot is the
more tricky),
idle 1 foot,
riding and turning backward looking backward,
push the seat out riding close to the seat drag,
hop seat out,
hop up stairs ( 2 or more steps each jump).


I can now 1fww and glide downhill a few meters but i don't have landed
any unispin yet whereas i tried it a couple of times.


Manu
