I dunno about levels, since I can do something from something but nothing from all. Damm, that was mouthful. Like in this episode, I can make 90-90 bunnyhop, but not bunnyhop down from curb. With 90-90 I find occasionally my legs being twisted after hops, which makes riding forward bit harder. I think I know reason too; maybe I use my legs to make unicycle turn during hop, instead of shoulders and looking where to turn?.
I would love to learn a lot of more advanced stuff in the future like wheel walk. Do you have a video explaining the best wheel size/type for street, and also how high your set should be. I’ve done a lot of long distance on 36” wheel and would love to spend the summer learning street
Really just whatever you're comfortable with when it comes to seat height. Low enough so you can use your legs to spring during jumps and shock absorb on landings, but high enough that it's still comfortable for a decent ride. THOUGH you'll often find, street/flatland unicyclists prefer performance over comfort haha, atleast I did when learning. I modified my unicycle as much as I could, to save weight etc, sometimes it wasn't comfortable, but I considered it worth it to learn a new trick. Sorry I rambled. I don't have a video on more advanced stuff just yet, but we'll get there. CH.
I’m currently a decent amount past these levels but the trick I want to see a good tutorial on the most that I feel like is reasonable to be in one of the next few videos is footplants, especially when you keep one foot on the pedal, I just don’t understand how Th is works and I always get shinned super hard
Nice! Yeah, I'm hoping these videos can help guide people, likewise it was hard when I first started out- much later than you though I should say haha.
I used to unicycle a few years back. Took it out to realize it was now way too small for me! I went ahead and bought a brand new one got it yesterday and we're back in the streets! Love these videos they help a ton can't wait for the next ones to come out. I think these vids are the ones that got me back into unicycling to be fair! ❤️
I managed to hit the switch 90 90 twist in 2 hops today Actually happy about it. I'm also getting pretty consistent with bunny hopping on ledges as well.
Iv been riding for a while, but have only focused on distance and speed. I am just getting in to learning tricks and am glad I found your channel. thank you. you break things into very simple steps.
I love your videos and I love unicycling now. Its a powerful and unique art and it keeps me away from all the bad things that have affected my life in the past.
Sorry I missed this comment! Stay positive :) And stay doing weird/stupid fun shit like unicycling! We all need something to pick ourselves up in this messed up world... Keep that head up, much love. CH
I learned to unicycle about 7 years ago but never really got past the basics of riding and bunny hopping so I'm excited to see more of these and pick it up again!
Awesome! The goal here is to find easy skills for people to try at their current skill level, then hopefully they'll get the taste for it and continue the progression! CH.
Thanks for yet another great video, Im currently working on the jump mount from previous video of yours, Im getting comfortable doing clean assisted jumps now so just need to grow a pair and let go of the wall!!
Thanks for this lessons!! I am eager to watch the next episode. I would like to know how to calculate jumps over (no jump sideways) sidewalks and obstacles when I am unicycling through the street. And some tips for a good and confident rolling hop.
This is something that really comes with time. You learn to calculate a bit in your head and you'll see some riders do this by curving into things or hopping slightly forwards or backwards 2/3 revs before the obstacles to get their line up correct. When you can jump further/better you'll have less margin for error and the run-up won't have to be SO exact. But I'll have a think! I have tips for better rolling hops but they're a while off. CH.
Really sucks when this happens, they gradually go away as you learn to sit differently/get comfortable. Play around with your seat padding, angle and height as well as the type of shorts/pants you're wearing, cycle shorts are also great if you're doing lots of riding, when I just wanna practice hard and feel comfortable I'll put some on so I can focus. If symptoms persist, see your local GP. CH.
@@PrettyGoodChannel Thanks for replying! I'm at a point now where I can ride fairly good and I can maintain a good posture so I've been thinking about looking for a new seat or some sort of padding. Also one other question I thought of is what size wheel would you say is best for street unicycling becasue that is the type I enjoy the most!
@@JcsBudgetRcReviews No worries. For street it depends, I like 19'' because the smaller the wheel the lighter it is/more you can manipulate it with tricks. BUT, some street riders use bigger wheel's, with 20', 22'', 24'', 26'' being used. But I'd really recommend 19'' see how you like it and go from there. I wouldn't wanna discourage someone from trying a bigger wheel, who might suit a bigger wheel, but its a good rule of thumb to go 19'', only a rare few ride anything different. CH.
Awesome video man, really like the regular uploads. Not sure if you remember me or not but my names Ben and I used to attend circability in Vic park. I just wanted to let you know that your videos are still awesome and hope you're doing well :)
Hey Ben :) I remember ya, green uni, you could 180 and fakie 180! Hope you're doing well, I'm down in Wellington now. Hopefully these videos will get you learning some new tricks :) CH.
Those tutorials are very nice ! I would suggest you use a color code for the thumbnails, you could use differents colors for each style of unicycling I'm impatient to get to the higher levels (like how to crankflip plzzz)
I know this is probably past the current level of videos but the trick I would most want to see a decent tutorial on is footplants, especially the kind where you keep your back foot on the pedal I am a pretty competent street and trials rider but whenever I try footplants it just doesn’t really make sense to me and I would love to see the proper way to learn them
Those are definitely above this level, but they're not too far off :). In this level we gloss over a 'drop mount' which is slowly building up to footplants. Footplants where you leave the backfoot on... probably 4 or so levels away hah, atleast. CH.
Street = tricks on obstacles Flatland = tricks on flat ground Certain tricks are more suited for different environments- so street tricks are usually good for up/down obstacles, and certain "flatland" tricks are impossible unless you're on flat ground, but there's also a big cross-over area which makes it confusing at times. CH
For street, I don't like to bottom out but I don't like it to be hard as a rock to the point where landing tricks has no shock absorption with the tire. Exact PSI, I'm not sure, I go by feel which changes as your tire becomes more bald like mine. CH.
Kia ora Hannibal, I'm riding a 19'' trials unicycle, with a mix of Kris Holm, Impact, Mad4one and Nimbus parts. Try www.unicycles.com if you're after something similar. CH.
Hi I wanted to ask what kind of unicycle do you have. I have a really old used one and I’ve gotten really good and want to know what unicycle I should get that will last a long time. I also noticed yours has a thicker wheel than mine and that is what I’m looking for
Hey Jack, awesome. I have a mix between Kris Holm, Nimbus, Mad4one, Impact. All of these brands I'd recommend. Nimbus and Impact sell some cheap unicycles as well that don't last very long so get the more expensive one! I'd recommend anything with an ISIS hub. Then spend what you can. CH.
What type of uni do you reccomend for this? Mine seems thinner and smoother like for long distance riding but still having about 22in diameter. Yours looks like the tire is wider. Also wondering what brand would be best or a good place to buy a good street uni for tricks
I will always recommend a 19'' trials/street unicycle. But I'm always seeing people using 20'', 22'', 24'' and up. Would recommend 19... but you can make other sizes work for you. Something decent but not too expensive, Nimbus or the lower range Impact unicycles. Otherwise buy a higher end Impact, Kris Holm or Mad4one. CH.
I saw in your first uniquest video that you said to mount the unicycle while the cranks are parallel. I learned how to ride about a year ago, so I mount the way you recommended against. Do you think it would be worth to relearn how to mount even though I already have the muscle memory and can ride out of the dead zone?
Definitely no need to relearn. I generally find this method earlier for learners but there are obviously mixed results, so many people learn using your method, I did for example, but I transitioned to learning it the new way because it's easier/faster to practice certain tricks if you're mounting your unicycle when the cranks are already in the right position for bunny hopping. CH.
What is your current seat? Chaffing can also come from the type of pants you're wearing, I actually find jeans really comfy but others argue different. I've been enjoying comfy shorts lately but I know pants are nice when you're learning new tricks so you don't smash your shins too much. You could also try wearing cycle shorts, when I'm riding more days of the week than not riding, I wear them. Or if I know I'm going to be riding a lot, like at an event. I'd recommend either KH or Nimbus for comfort, but check carefully, there are many different seats, try get some that isn't a 'slim saddle' although they're my favorite, they're less comfortable. CH.
