Just found this; pretty cool. Never seen it done before on solid ground and not a trampoline.

awe damn i though he was gonna stay on th uniNow THAT would be a trick...especially if it was landed! I wonder if that's ever been done...I kinda doubt it because the natural tendancy of the backflip is to end up back of where you started. Notice the uni went forward as he dismounted backwards. So unless you could also move the uni backwards at the same rate *and* have it stay vertical while you are in the air-and completely off the uni-would be a feat!

i have the flips down but I am nervous about landing back on the uni because I land in almost exactly the same spot. I am just not sure if I can get a good set jump off of my unicycle. Grass is more friendly than a metal frame if anything goes wrong.
