I notice you use the jumping freehanded to the fork method to get into
stand-up glide. It looks very good, but it also seems like it would be
harder to do with much speed. Have you tried the standard gliding to
stand-up glide transition much? I can often do it at high enough speeds
that I can go in a circle, or keep going for well over ten meters.

Hey Jsm, yes ive tried it many times but never got the technique to do
it. when ever i push up i end up pushing the unicycle away from me. I
would like to learn it, any tips? i will give it a go next time in a
hall.#

I think it helps to try to stand up quickly, without thinking about it
too much. Make sure your gliding foot is partly on the frame, and
partly on the wheel. It's probably easier if you hold the seat, but let
go of the seat as soon as you can after standing up. I know a lot of
the Japanese riders can go from gliding to stand-up glide freehanded,
but the one time I worked on it, I hurt myself in lots of different
ways. I suggest you look up and forward when you try it, not at the
ground, because you often end up going in the direction you are
looking.

I'd really like to learn the freehanded jump transition someday, but I
don't have the nerve to try it yet.

Those backflips off the unicycle are insane!
