will be able to ride as of tuesday though!!! and try to land that 180 down the 5 set

unicycle nut · 2007-07-28, 11:09 AM

I finally landed a 180 unispin.

You guys are probally thinking your so stupid but for a freestyler it is an accomplishment.

Took me about 9 months to learn to unispin. I don't think it's stupid at all. Congratulations! Next step: 360 unispin!

I stand-up wwed 4.5 metres yesterday. And today I finally managed some proper 360s off a curb.

Jerrick · 2007-07-28, 12:02 PM

Well, best ive done today is about 13 unispins in a row. bout 2 hops in between each one.

Phuni · 2007-07-29, 11:00 PM

Well, I can brag about wearing KH gloves, elbow pads and knee pads. I was riding over to the Monon Trail in Carmel, Indiana and thought I could get across a busy street to the sidewalk. As I got across the street, I noticed that there was a small drop-off to some grass before the sidewalk. "No problem," I thought. Ouch. Did a nasty UPD and tried to run it out. No way. The gloves and pads saved a LOT of grief on my (still unscathed) hands and elbows. Thanks, Kris, for those gloves! I might have to buy some more now.

Matt_V · 2007-07-29, 11:09 PM

Well I have big plans for my qu-ax. Today I painted the frame white and ordered some new stuff for it. A KH gel street saddle (black/grey) and some black jimmy c's. I also ordered some better inner tubes because I have been using crappy ones that are paper thin and I have been going through like 3 a week.

And after I make my uni look sweet, I will magically become a much better rider and everyone will be jealous of my skills and of my uni!

unispins are part of freestyle.........

what the heck are you talking about its an accomplishment for a freestyle?

think of it as a basic set up for many, many new and highly creative tricks......

Sprida · 2007-07-30, 09:35 AM

Unispin is a Street move so for a freestyler it is an accomplishment, although in my opinion it is an accomplishment no matter what type of style your into. Anyway....

Today I managed to WW 12 meteres twice very flukishly and I am slowly getting better. My average is about 4 meteres now, it's taking for ever and im starting to get annoyed at the bruises im getting from my leg falling on the pedals/cranks.

Unitik908 · 2007-07-30, 04:08 PM

well it wasn't today but it was like 4 days ago.
I went to a skatepark for the first time with my uni.
