I wouldnt mind some tips for flat... I wanna get into it but find it really hard.

We've had strong freestyle unis for a long time now. =p

I like flatland though, its pretty interesting to watch, and it seems to be one of the more popular styles to ride. I see much more interest in flatland the street now, when not long ago, street was what everyone was doing.

nothing that impressive just a good trick to add in on combos. the trey is just totally random

hungry4uni · 2007-12-21, 08:39 PM

two questions,

1) what is flat, (I've seen videos but it all looks like street to me.)

2) can you do flat on a trials uni

Street is a lot of flips and unispins, and variations of the two. Also uses obsticles like in trials, so a lot of tricks can be done onto and off objects. Also there is spining and grinds. Cant forget about those.

Flat doesnt have the cranklip variations. Flat has a lot of crankrolls and varials, and spins in it, and an combinations of those and some more stuff. Flat is very fluid and the tricks can be linked into each other and can make for one nice long line. Its like flatland biking, but on a uni, so there are some freestyle moves in there too.

And yes, you can do flat on a trials uni, if you watch the videos, aobut all of them are doing flat on a trials unicycle.

well there are differnet deffinitions of flat, mine is basically street without the drops and sets, its more flowy and defined

and yes you can do flat on a trials uni...cept most trials cranks suck for it

-edit-jerrick hit it right on the head, i think that crankflips are flat and can look good, i am kinda into a street/flat combo i think my riding looks pretty unique

hungry4uni · 2007-12-21, 08:51 PM

wow

sounds like a superdy-duperdy good time

hungry4uni · 2008-11-13, 03:56 AM

I want your guys's opinions, do you think that griptape is cheating. (making flat easier than it's supposed to be?

peleschramm · 2008-11-13, 03:59 AM

Lol no! Not in the least bit!
