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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
