Freestyle a Unicycle

If riding a unicycle has become your second nature, why not step up?! Learn some tricks and you'll have a time of your life!

Steps

Preparing for freestyle

  1. Dress appropriately. In the case of a crash, you will get some scrapes. So, wear clothes that cover up your body. A pair of jeans and a shirt is the best choice. Wear your favorite pair of jeans and rock a hoodie! You will just fine.
  2. Wear Safety gear! Unicycling may cause serious injury or death. ALWAYS wear a helmet! Knee pads are also great! You don't want a broken knee bone, anyways.
  3. Find a location. Someplace relatively flat and as enough space is just fine! Maybe your backyard, driveway! Don't practice on the streets until you are comfortable with tricks.

Learning tricks

  1. Hopping. The first thing you'll learn on a unicycle. You need to lower your body down and explode upwards. Make sure to grab the brake because otherwise, you will have a bad time. You can jump and down things.
  2. 180 turn. This once again all about your body movement. Hop up. As described in the above article. Look over your shoulder. This will lead you into a 180 turn. Always turn close as possible.
