The above advice was assuming you meant a 540 unispin. If you meant a
540 spin while sitting on the unicycle then disregard the above advice
:-)

I'm pretty sure when we were filming Andy he was going for a 540, not a
720.

the website in his sig. And I'd also say the 360 is no problem, mine
aren't great the best but there seem to be a bunch of guys who can do
them. For doing a 540 or higher I think you just practise them
like a sidehop. If you can jump 75 cm and you want to go higher, you
practise till you can jump higher. Think of spinning the same way.



thanks, david :-).

@maestro8: the sentence "the 360 is no problem on the unicycle" was
something like german humor...(-)

it's right, what i mean is the 360 - rotating the unicyle with the rider
in the air. unispins is not a trick for my very bad freestyle knowledge.


but go back to the 540°: i see, there aren't any tips and hints to do
the trick, it is always the same: training and more training.... :-(.

You're right indeed it was a 540. My mistake.

540 hoptwists, as called in IUF, yes dan heaton has done them, of course
U2, 720's, I know of one that has, and two maybe. Not syaing whom but
yeah. 720 unispins yes there are four people to ever do them. Andy, two
others, lol, and myself. Maestro8, 360ing into pedal grabs, some grinds,
as well as onto skinnies and what not, kinda extreme. If one says they
have 360's down, they might, they just can't take it to those extremes.

I know a guy who has done a 720 and it's not impossible. To win over the
gravity is impossible.
