All the weight on the pedals. You should land with the cranks in horizontal position. Roll out of the landing.

Here (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albums/tipsandtutorials/Tutorials_Dropping_to_Flat.wmv)'s a good tutorial.

In the future you might consider posting unicycling-related questions in RSU. This is an administration forum.

Oh, and welome to unicyclist.com.

Just mind your balls and you'll be okay.
