540 UNIspin Competition

O.K. I’ve seen quite a few trick competitions lately (who can land what trick first) and I did a search and couldn’t find one on 540 unispins…SO, I really want to learn them but have no motivation. If anyone wants to try…here is the place I guess. You cannot have landed them before. Also a little information would be nice…I.E.

Name: Levi
Unicycling for: 6 months
Other tricks: Crankflip, 360
Ice Cream: Vanilla

Got to post footage to when you land it, (btw I don’t know if I am doing this right if I am not please correct me. I am not sure if they should be rolling or not…can figure that out later I guess.

Im in, although I dont feel I will be very competative seeing as I havnt tried them and I have almost no free time now (I seem to get a huge amount of work for my A-levels and it takes up near enough all my time)

Name: Marcus
Unicycling for: about 11 months I think
Other tricks: too many to list
Ice Cream: Vanilla

Is there going to be a start date or like shal we just start as soon as we sign up?

I dont mind. I doubt I will be able to ride (for more than about 30 mins) untill our christmas break I have way too much work to do, even at christmas its asumed that I will be revising most of the time seeing as I have a series of exams straight after I get back. I fear its going to be like this untill the finish of my two years doing A-levels pretty depressing.

Good Luck Terry. Why bother with the 360 when you can go for the 540? haha

Haha, I forgot this was only a 540 comp! I was just reading the stuff each person was listing; name, how long unicycling, *other* tricks and fav ice cream. , so I chimed in. But I actually barely landed a 360 on my torker lx 20.

So a 540 just requires a somewhat faster spin and a higher/wider jump off the pedals than a 360? Me thinks it's prolly at least 50% mental to nail it...could this be true?
