no footer help

[mornish]

hi I can't figure out how to do a no footer:( my feet get like 1/4 of
an inch off the pedals and then my uni rolls out from under me. can
someone post a clip of them doing one?

you need to hold the tire really well to do a no footer...it will come
with practice!

there are steps i learned them by.

1: just start by jumping off the cranks. land off the unicycle.
2: Jump off cranks/pedals, land on cranks.
3: Jump off cranks/pedals, throw legs out a wee bit, bring back in,
land on cranks
4: Jump off cranks/pedals, throw legs WAY out, pull back in, land on
cranks.


Be sure to have each progession down relatively solid before mowing up
and onward. they aren't really too hard... if you practice for about an
hour or two just doing those, you'll surprise yourself.

edit: when jumping off cranks, try to have the tire NOT leave the
ground. a little is ok, but you don't want to bring the uni too far up
into the air with you.

no.
a no footer is where you hop off the pedals, throw your feet out, and
land back ON the cranks or pedals. kindo f like a unispin with no
spinning of the uni.

A no footer is when you jump and take both feet off the pedals and land
back on the pedals.

Are you doing them rolling or static?

I really need help with rolling no footers, whenether i do them the
wheel keeps turning in the air so i cant land back on.

if your doing it static (standing still not rolling or anything) then:
you have to hold the seat with like an invisible arm, just dont put any
pressure on it, jump an inch or two the first time and keep going
higher and higher, as you get higher its harder to keep the unicycle in
the same place, it just takes practice

WEll if its shootin away from you then You might be putting weight on
the uni with your hand...jump off and dont push down on the uni with
your hands.., Yeah I see how peopele can get confused, there is the no
footers that Mornish is aksing about, there are the no footers lie Adam
Ryznar did in UNiverse, and there is COasting and gliding...But no
footers are a great way of learning to unispin, so keep it up and try
to get em high..

Some people jump straight up and some do more of an extention with their
legs, I think an extention looks alot better. As for it shooting out,
everything that Cody said is what I would tell you, it will only slip
out if you push it down, just jump off it and land back on with no
force on the uni inbetween.

Once you get good at them on your uni then move along to no footers on a
BC;)

Xavier Collos does a rolling no footer down some stairs in his vener
video. When he extends his legs he reaches down and holds the tire.
