Drop the seat in front so it hits the ground, you should also be standing on the cranks and not the pedals.
Next lift your leg from the back pedal and use it to push the wheel. the wheel can rotate 180 before the crank/pedal comes round and hits the back of your other foot.
So, you switch legs... and it kinda ends up like a single paddle kayak where you row for one paddle each side (unless you decide to change direction and go backwards).
pffft. save your breath for cooling your porridge. this is of course, metaphorical breath that is used for typing, and other such computer communication.:confused:

if i am understanding the trick correctly the way you explained it, it sounds really hard, can you do it? i'm almost level 9 and doubt i could, i've never seen it done.

So yeah, it's definitely, DEFINITELY possible. I've only tried once too.

Looking throught old posts...
Seems possible to me, if I am imagining it correctly. I can't seatdrag or wheelwalk at all though, so it could be harder than I think. Start with both feet on crank with right pedal forward, drop seat. Move left foot to tire (you would probally need to place your toe lower than the pedals on the wheel to get the wheel 180 in one pull/push) untill right pedal is 180degrees around and in back. I wouldn't be able to picture this switch part going smoothly, but, place left foot on left crank with pedal in front, and right on wheel, and repeat. Maybe maybe place your foot crooked on the crank and frame so it holds the uni to the opposite side while riding. When you take your foot from the tire, the uni should kick over, and you can catch it then. Seems like it would be possible, maybe for more advanced riders, but possible. I can definantly see this being done. Sorry I confused you... Mike
