first learn the jump mount, then the 180 jump mount, then practice jumping off of the pedals.

You don't really need the 180 unispin mount, practice no footers, and then practice no footers with your hands in unispinning position (hands together in the middle of the seat), and once you can do big no footers like that you should be able to get the trick easily. If you want I can make a video to show all these steps.

- The higher you jump, the more time to adjust your landing.
- The faster you spin, the earlier you uni is in position.
- Don't jump too much.
- Countdown, and execute it on zero (even if you think you will fail from the position you have then).
- Don't push on the unicycle while landing.
- Bend a little over your seat before you jump.
Further, just see for yourself what you fine comfortable: SIF or landing on the seat.

I think the most dificult part of 180 unispin is the no footer xD.

You need to be able to hop seat in front. then you learn the 180 jump mount (although that can mess you up, depends on the rider). To do a 180 jump mount, jump up onto the unicycle and spin the unicycle 180 degrees at the same time and land on the cranks. Once you're consistent with this, go for a 180 unispin. Get on with the seat in front, holding the seat with one hand on the front and the other on the back (have your left hand in front if you hop left foot forward and your right hand in front if you hop right foot forward) and find your center of balance by hopping. When you're ready, jump up while keeping the unicycle on the ground. Don't let the unicycle come up with you. Spin the unicycle 180 degrees and land on the cranks. Don't take too long with this trick, it won't be fun if your trying it for months and aren't landing it, just do it. If you want, I could put a tutorial up for you.

I wonder, why would that be a problem or more difficult?

[unireed]

i have just been trying this, but my main problem is that the uni comes up with me. however, i just landed a couple 180 jump mounts for the first time.

[454unicycle454]

so wait when i am going to 180 unispin am i supposed to hop with the unicycle or by myself?

[unireed]

hop off the unicycle by yourself, otherwise you wont be able to spin the uni. you have to jump enough to be able to spin it.

Well, it's best if you keep it on the ground. You don't want to bring it up really high.

I don't know if it matters for just 180 unispins, but it's certainly not better because later you definitly have to bring the unispin up to get bigger spins (360s, 540s, ect).

I made a little tutorial that's rendering now, I'll post the link here when it's up.
