Not Getting Any Better...
Practice, practice, practice. If it makes you feel better, I've been riding for almost 10 years (Wow, 10 years this weekend!) and I can't crankflip, or 1-foot, and though I can ride backward, I suck at it. I CAN mountain uni pretty decently, and drop off picnic tables and higher, but I've also broken 3 unicycles If you want to do drops, save up and buy a trials uni, else just practice practice practice. And even if you can't do crankflips or glide (I can't do that either), you can still ride a unicycle, which is pretty damn good! -- evil-nick Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. * Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear. I'm late for checkers with the Dalai Lama!

My question is: How often do you FALL? In my experience, you have to be willing to fall a LOT in order to learn. I' not saying you have to injure yourself, but I had LOTS of UPDs when I tried to ride one-foot. Anytime I try to learn any new trick, I have LOTS of UPDs. I pad up when learning a new trick, because I'm 53 years old.

The general answer to your question is that for anything more advanced then the basic skills, you can't just look at it and say "ok, time to learn a crankflip!". You have to break it into components. Luckily for you, many of the most skilled riders have already done this for you, so a forum search will end up benefiting you quite a lot. -- dudewithasock 'My Unicycling Journal' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44950) officially ended. spazdude222 wrote: Doing good doesn't make you good any more than doing a girl makes you a girl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dudewithasock's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10900 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73257 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Everyone reaches points in unicycling where they feel like they are making no progress. The important thing to do is remember that you Unicycle for fun. Sometimes with all the pressure to learn new tricks we forget this! Keep practicing and don't get discouraged. -- SaintUni ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SaintUni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17984 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73257 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
