After learning to ride.
Hey, I just got a Unicycle today, it's a Sun 26 I think, trying to learn to ride it. How would y'all suggest learning to balance/go places on it? And what types of tricks are there to do on it? Also, should there be lots of air in the tire, or just a little? Thanks for all the info dudes. -- GriptapeFlip www.ramprage.com/forums ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GriptapeFlip's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12763 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51514 |

After learning to ride.
well, a 26" tire probably meant to be higher pressure because it's a skinnier tire, but I would suggest you keep it lower than usual. this gives more surface area (tire squishes more) and makes it easier to balance. for tips, you can do a search on the forums. there's tons of information here. as to what tricks you can learn to do later, check 'this thread' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47406) out. welcome to the forums, and feel free to talk and ask questions. -- onelesscar mmm...i love my qu-ax... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onelesscar's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11127 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51514 |

After learning to ride.
Learning to ride isnt that hard, jsut tideous and takes dedication. Keep your weight on the seat, and hold onto a wall, push off and pedal and keep trying. It will take about a week to learn and be a pretty good ridder, as in you can go from a to b without falling, or only a few UPDS. Trick wise, theres tons, and I mean TONS! Freestyle has tons of tricks from riding one-footed to doing backward stand-up one footed extended gliding. There tons of combos and virations. With street, theres also tons of tricks, from grinds, crankspins, unispins, varials, leg wraps, big spins, hickflips, sex change. search for the video 'nacht nada' and there lots of other stuff on 'www.unicycletips.com' (http://www.unicycletips.com). Do some searching and youll find people riding on tiny rails or bridges from a few feet into the air, up to having a 500 foot drop to watch out for. Riding awesome North shore trails, doing complicated trials line and jumping higher than youd think they could, to gapping 9 set and doing 360s into a grind and a backflip out of it. -- Jerrick ~*~!I ride for Christ, Fun, Challenges, and a lot more!~*~ '!Gallery!'
