What should be my next trick?

Tylercox 5 April 2005 08:06:51
 
So, I've mastered WW and 1-ft WW, so what should be next? I want
something impressive that will officially make me an "expert" or "good"
unicyclist. Also, I tried seat drag and it's devilish, so please don't
recommend this trick, I might burst....;) Thanks in advance for your
ideas! One more thing, I'm practicing backwards WW, but it seems I
always go so slow I twist around and fall. Any ideas?

Odd.
I was thinking "gliding" would be next (and appropriate for his original
post).

One good exercise for SIF improvement is to ride forward one cycle, back
one-half, forward one, back one-half, etc. It's a really good
leg-burner, improves your knowledge of the entire pedal cycle, and
eliminates any left-right dominance because you are always switching
leading foot. Variations include doing the same to the rear (one back,
one-half forward), and idling in the middle of that to either side.

Another really good thing to do is to ensure that all your 1-f skills
are symmetric with each foot, as John Childs said.

I agree with ChangingLINKS.

Doesn't it usually go:
WW
1FWW
1FWW down progressivle steeper hills
Glide
?

Thus, if you are interested in gliding, you should start 1FWWing down
steeper and steeper slopes until the wheel starts to walk itself and you
have to start slowing it down.... thus gliding.

Gliding, surely the King of all freestyle tricks (for non-freestyle
riders).

if you wanna be cool... or achieve expert status, then grinds will be a
sturdy next step on the road to glory.

I had a dream last night that I could glide, so I'm going to practice it
today once I get my cranks. UPS said it was at SeaTac airport getting
ready to get on a truck to come to my house. SeaTac is about 1.5 hours
from my house, so they should come soon. Grinding sounds cool although
it would tear up my freestyle uni, and I don't have a trials uni.

You don't even need cranks for gliding. That's the beauty of gliding.
Just find a hill and hop on. Haha.
