!The collective IdIoTS guide to unispins!

only one foot will have the pedal coming towards it in any direction.
its not like their both coming towards you when spinning counter
clockwise. really its irrerrevant. find whagt works for you and
unispinning is inevidable....in..in...inevidable. btw im not weird.

really? have you seen a man eat his own head?

my leg armour (wow that sounds beefy) should be here on monday meaning
i shall be able to overcome my fear and land a 180 and maybe even 360
unispin. i can get the spin for both and bring my feet down but i keep
deliberately missing because subconsiously i fear loosing my shin skin.

Here's THE tip I've missed for a long time for unispins: spinning
direction.
I hop with my left foot forward, so I spin my uni counter-clockwyse so
that my feet can stop the spin when I land on the pedals/cranks.
I used to spin the other way when practicing the 180 unispin and when I
tried the other way, every thing looked much easier


Agreed.

Except for rolling 180s (and rolling 360s) I think it's usually easier
to spin clockwise (from left foot forward) so, then you can easily spin
one handed from seat in.

Do you (by you I mean the people who can do this already) recomend
learning with plastic pedals or should i just keep my bulletproof's on?


I learned to unispin with metal pedals, and that's what I ride with.
Haven't tried plastic pedals so couldn't say if it's easier or not. If
I was gonna get plastic pedals I'd get the Twisted Odyssey ones,
they've got the same platform design as the much touted Jim Cs (which I
use).

don't think it would be easier either with plastic to make the spin.
What i'm wondering is it less of a chance I will hurt myself.

I can land my 180 unispins pretty well, but with 360's i can't really
get close. I started by keeping my hands on the seat and doing a 360
mount. Thats easy, but then after watching the pro's do it i realized
they have both hands on one side of the seat and catch it while its
spinning. Its probably that i'm too afraid to do this. but its hard as
hell

Plastic or metal, there's the potential to hit yourself in the shins
pretty hard if you're not wearing shin protection. A pedal in the shin
shouldn't count as "hurting yourself", hurting yourself is when you
physically can't ride for the next few days. So to answer your
question, there's almost zero chance that you'll hurt yourself!

For rolling 180s I go seat in, jump up off the pedals with the uni just
slightly in the air, kick my feet out and spin the uni. Then try to
land on the cranks first with your knees bent.
