Flatland/Street-Tutorials

I was thinking , so i concluded it would be great to join all tutorials regarding these modalities in a unique forum, because there are not a lot of them, and help facilitate a lot of beginners and more experienced people .
after all many times when I learn a trick I encounter a situation, "And now I learn?"
So if you agree if it , post here a tutorial video you did , or find , with the name of the trick!
I Hope this helps a lot of people
Cheers Erik!

I saw your video that you land with the feet on the cranks, the cranks when you land you always land with both feet or just one?

I can land with both feet on the pedals, it doesn't really matter but landing on the cranks is a bit easier and feels more solid most of the time.

Pretty cool to have a place just for tutorial vids, I would like to do one soon (nothing too advanced ) so I'll come back and post it when I do!

ok, I'll shoot out a suggestion. I have seen someone who, while doing rolling wraps and junk, sort of stepped around the unicycle, actually I've seen it more than once, so that he was then facing the opposite direction.... so essentially it was a 180 with his body, and it did not require a hop. A tutorial for that would go really well with some of the other skills shown here. Or stand-up wheel walk - that's one I'm having a difficult time figuring out...

Intoit , i know what are you talking , when you do the roll, hop with both feet the who are above of the wheel and the other are in the crank ,and turn your body 180 and fall on the pedals who are in the horizontal position , While you hop switch the hands are grabing the seat.
Important , you doing the rolling and jumping after the rolling so then when you drop the cranks are in a position counter to the start of the rolling!!!

I believe you are thinking of a varial roll:

YouTube - First Varial Roll

[erikmoda]

if the trick is that i was wrong haha , i think in another hm.
Unihopper i have a question for you haha , how long takes to you land your firsts flat ttricks? leg around , crankrolls , rolling wrap , 180 unispin 360...
I pratice so much , but the tricks takes so much time to i land hehe , i think i'm a very very slow learner

[IntoIt]

Yup, varial roll. That's a really pretty skill.

Erik, I know what you mean about learning these skills. I haven't worked on them very much yet since I didn't know about them before this thread - but I think they may just look a little bit easier than they are...most of this freestyle stuff is not eye-popping in the way a standup wheelwalk is for example, but I'm sure is just as difficult...

Try breaking things down into simple steps, and then mastering them in order, like the donkey kick tutorial suggests. For example, when I start working on seatwraps and other similar skills, I'm going to run electrical tape around my fork and through my spokes so my wheel won't be able to turn. That way I can allow my muscle memory to learn the requisite movements over a period of days, until I can do it quickly and simply, flawlessly, and only then will I add in the element of front/back balance by removing the tape. Then, I'll learn the seatwrap like normal, but I'll be miles ahead of someone learning from scratch.
Another advantage of small steps is that you can notice on a daily basis that you actually ARE improving, which is comforting.
