    I put off learning 180 unispins for ages, and then when I finally tried I got it in like 30 minutes. What I would recommend doing is this: First, learn to do a no footer. Start really tiny, just hop seat in a few times and push down on your seat and pop your feet off the pedals a little bit (only like a centimeter). Then gradually get bigger, until you are going maybe a foot off of the pedals. Start over then, and learn them SIF. This should take less time. Then, just put both hands on the same side of the seat (doesn't really matter which way but I'm right handed and have my right hand forward on the left of the seat) jump off and spin the unicycle quickly. When I learned I held on with both hands the whole time. The first couple trys just jump off of the back, to get the feel of the hand positioning. Or, you could just hold your uni and practice spinning it. Either way. After you are comfortable with the hand positioning and no footers, commit, and land it!

    Dont worry about asking loads of questions its the main point of getting better XD Rolling hops I dont really try or I havent measered the height neither the length but the biggest stair set I have found and done is 5...I could do more probably but I cant find any Gratz on the stomach on seat and one footed riding. The idles get easier and easier.... Unispins take ages and ages to learn but are great once you learn them. The first tip is when you learn no footers dont do it seat in as you dont do unispins seat in so learn it seat out. Then just spin and spread your legs out and in again. Its one of those things were your not even that close but one day you get up and try and your really close then you land it... I learnt them before I had a 19" so on my 16" but I dunno if it helped XD
    Oh and Ihave been unicycling since a few months after february I think... So yeah its all about how long you have had to practice these tricks
    Good luck!!!

    What you have to remember is if you are doing trials poeple our age just arent as good partly because of our height so we cant tuck enough. My brother who is 15 does BMXing and his friend who's been doing BMXing since he was 6 was interested in unicycling so I sold him my old 16" and he learnt to ride...sortoff. Then yesterday he came over and he still can only ride like 4revs or somin but he can jump. He is really tall though and I was trying to jump up 2 pallets 34cm which was kinda hard but I kinda got it now. But anyway he goes up to them and just jumps and tucks to make it easily cause he can tuck so much...
    Sorry I had to write in 2 posts because there was 2 much and it posted twice for some reason...

    No the pallets you either find friends who are doing building work and ask them if they can ask the builders if you can have some pallets because they are mainly used for heavy stuff like bricks so they pile them all up and pick it up with one of those forklifts. I only have 2 so I get spare wood and stuff So far I can 180 unispin 90 unispin to hop on tire 1 foot riding with my foot on the frame or my foot hanging out. I have done a small grind at a skatpark on a long rectangle box. I can do all the idling. I can ride and jump with the seat in front. Ride with my stomach on the seat. I recently learned to do wraps but so far I have done it once and I just got in the position you start in while holding onto something then let go and do it just to get the feel of letting the seat go round. I have jumped a 5 set. 180 hoptwist. tiregrab. no footer...that kinda stuff XD
    Im mainly street asswell thats why im trying to get these crankflips down but I still do a bit of trial.

    I learned to ride when I was 12, I think. But I stopped riding for about 6 months and just started up again maybe 6-7 months ago.

    Haha, don't be embarrassed. In 3 years, when you are 14 I'm sure that you will be much better than I am now. Just keep practicing and you will get better in no time!
