things to do on a unicycle that I haven't seen done yet - Page 6

Julia B · 2011-07-14, 05:07 PM

I tried it today and the first time I got into the stall but when I went to get back up I felt like my frame might snap... Also the frame got all scratched where I did it, I don't think I'll be trying that anymore.

It isn't a grind yet.

Like I said, the stall doesn't seem very difficult at all, but if anyone can manage a decently sized grind like that I'll give them huge props. Also, a trick in or out of the stall/grind, stall/grind on a higher rail, or if you can make the stall look good, I'll be impressed.

I'd call that a seat post balance, or seat post see-saw. Like Julia said, that wasn't a grind. But it's easy enough to see how that could lead to one.

And of course it will tear up the unicycle. But the people who pioneer these tricks are not likely to be engineers. They will learn by doing, and also figure out what's needed to make the unicycle last longer for their version of the trick. The "problem," if any, will be self-correcting.

well if you could fix a sort of flat plate that snaps on and distributes the weight of the grind more evenly through the frame.... the flat plate will assist in grinding, and you'd be less likely to break your uni.

GOT IT!!

Call it a Fracture because everybody seems to be worried about breaking their unis while trying this trick!

That sounds like cheating to me.

Sounds like innovation and progression in the sport to me.

I'd like to see someone idling on top of a trotting camels hump.

has anyone seen this done/ heard it being done before
