Learning to hop
dave_the_b wrote: I learnt to hop about a month ago by cheating  Oh yes cheating...... I stopped the wheel from rotating by strapping the rim to the frame, with the pedals at 3 and 9 oclock, using some toe clip straps. This made the unicycle into a pogo-cycle  Pogo-cycle can't fly out front or backward leaving me to master mounting and hopping up and down on the spot, side to side, backwards ect ect without the worry of landing on my arse After about an hour I unstrapped the rim, changing it back to a unicycle, and hey Presto, with a little more practise, I can now hop...... Good luck Dave This sounds like a great idea. I'm gonna try it. -- ellsworth23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ellsworth23's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14800 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63772 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Learning to hop
rem48 wrote: great info guys. I have just started trying to hop also. can do 10-15 hops. i am using a 26" torker and found it easier when I let some of the air out of the tire. When you are talking about handles are you meaning the plastic one on the seat or a different metal one? Can this be applied to any seat? The plastic handle on the seat. If you watch some the videos that are linked in the forum you can get an idea of what is going on when hopping. It looks awkward, but hey, riding a unicycle looks awkward. -- ellsworth23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ellsworth23's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14800 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63772 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
