After about 3 months of riding...

Tell me what you think!

[Spencer Hochberg]

Nice! thats really good for 3 months riding. If you wanted to be technical that one thing is called a body varial, a normal varial is a 180 hoptwist with a 180 unispin from seat in.

after three months of riding... wow your better than me and ive been riding about a year. nice vid man.

[ntappin]

Wow thats amazing, at least one of those tricks I can't do after a year and a half of riding. Good job, keep it up.

[maximus unius]

That is really impressive for three months. Still working on body varials...

Oh, ok. So when you do a normal varial, you spin the uni the opposite way... and it ends up normal seat out? And thanks too!

ps- I was reading the fourm in RSU on the tires for the LX... would one of the tires mentioned be good for the type of riding I'm doing? Cuz I can get it 20% off at the local bike shop :D

With a normal varial you spin the same direction as the uni. So basically you are only doing a 180 unispin but you are moving 180 too so the uni spins 360 relative to the ground. A varial is seat in to seat out. If you do it from seat out to out then its a small spin or 180/180.

If you spin the opposite direction of the uni like you were talking about it is called an inward unispin. That is harder because the uni is doing a 360 spin relative to your body and it is just more awkward.

Hey thanks. It sounds like a cool trick, but I'm still confused. Video?

And is it any harder than a body varial?

[SycoJeff]

wow ur really good for 3 months

They are both a lot harder than a body varial (for me at least) because they have unispins in them too.

I will see if I can find you some video clips.

Here is a Varial by Shaun. (http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=m320240180viral)

Here is an inward spin also by Shaun. (http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=m320240180reverse-viral)

In the first one the uni spins in the same direction as his body and in the second one it goes the opposite way.

[fred_oakley]

Thanks a lot.
