uni trampoline

Uniman1226 · 2006-07-10, 01:32 PM

i recently tried unicycling on a trampoline and discovered its impossible to balance on and you can not hop very high on it. it pretty much sucks. has anyone figured out how to uni on a trampoline.

Can't hop very high? You're doing it wrong then!

It's not like hopping normally, bending your legs does very little... but if you jump slower using your whole body, building up the momentum between jumps, you can easily reach the point where you start thinking it's getting a little too scary...

Ummm try doing a jump mount, I have jumped on several trampolines. I have jumped onto a trampoline ffrom the ground and started hopping on it. So its very doable man..I think there is a clip of it in my gallery from a really long time ago....

yea i did it today, and yesterday too..at first it took a little bit to figure it out..and then it started getting scary. especially when i was trying tricks..i only ever landed a 360 unispin, i tried a hickflip but fell and then didnt try it again for fear of ripping the trampoline.

Is this very high?

I suppose not, only 2' or so. But we could go higher. I imagine that type of trampoline can get you a lot more height than the typical round, backyard type.
