[thejugglerkid]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Drofeddamite]

Any advice for getting into and selecting a unicycle for someone who want's to get into unicycling

[IronweaverVlog]

[pyxounet]

[brodyrules00]

[skateweekly]

0:01 to skip the add

[purpleuni25]

that paper that flew on the wheel was so distracting

[UnicycleTutorialz]

Bunny hopping would

[USEPartyPeople]

Can anyone give me a suggestion? I am doing pretty good riding forwards now. Should i attempt to start bunny hopping or riding backwards first? Which would be easier?

[kirchyking]

@USEPartyPeople start with bunny hopping. before backwards, try idoling also.

[onyx88h]

actually working on this. pretty challenging

[sk8boredB]

I just get my unicycle yesterday around, oh 3PM maybe and I can ride forward... Can't idle... and am trying to go backwards

[lilnick54]

Did eny one c that lol a sticky note flew on his wheel 1.27 lol

[Garrettjaz]

@Runsilent13 Not really. I just got a uni 3 days ago and can ride it just fine and fast, and i haven't fallen yet

[PinkAmpharos]

I learned backwards before idling.

[spamuel44]

i must be the 1% that dont land on their feet!

[spamuel44]

[joemomma824]

You don't crack your head open if you wear a helmet.

[Nick123buthole]

[pixuma]

[MMRFILMS]

i like 20 inch

[imabandgeek87]

SO DOES YOUR MOTHER

[aschwa5]

This is pretty useless advice. He's saying, "just do it." When I learned, the technique I used was learning to idle one stroke more than normal idling, back and forth. So pedal through one stroke forward, and one stroke backwards, both right foot idling and left foot. And always focus on a point on the ground. Hope this helps!

[punchpringle1]

Why riding backwards, is the best way to fall forward? Or is the backward fall still the best method?

[zoomoo4]

thx, my uni has a much thicker wheel, should it be easyer for me??

[lizzieswe]

you don't crack your head open if you wear a helmet

[imabandgeek87]

HELMET=CONDOM

[Thedude441]

[HOFFMIER52]

[FiberMuffins]

[sisisisi1111]

@Thedude441

looked so epic xD

[SlipKnotFreak246]

@Thedude441 Bye-bye trash at 1:28 XD

[annoyinghayes]

i just bought an 18 inch unicycle is that good or bad to start out with

[nwimpney]

well, you'll need to spin really fast to move quickly. most people start with a 20" or 24". Shouldn't be too hard though.

[foolproof8]

@nwimpney thanks i just got myself a 20" one.. do you think i could but a thick tire on it even if it came with a street tire? or do i need a different fork?

[nwimpney]

@foolproof8 Well, generally the really fat tires are actually on a 19" rim.  so you probably can't go really big.

it's probably standard bmx sized. look for the ETRTO size. should be something like 50-406, The last number is the one that is required by your rim size. the first one is the width in mm. You can probably go up to about a 2.3" on most frames, just measure how much space there with the tire you have now. If you have a 50 with more than 10mm clearance, it'll fit a 60, etc.

[ferrari49490]

a 20" is probably better - depending on your hieght, but an 18 will do

[imabandgeek87]

YOUR MOTHER PREFERS 20"

[pugslove81]

i think that this feels a lot like learning to ride forward, but its a little bit faster.

[citysloth]

peice of paper lol

[redhawk810]

something hit his tire.

[Bdo0426]

i noticed that too.

[austrailianpirate]

dude, we have to do something with ur sense of style, shades cool, but pants at 1:30, no! what kind of shoes are those???

[austrailianpirate]

99%!?!!?! poor 1% of those who ride unicycles!

[korndog517]

??? unicycles arent that expensive. when i first started riding i got my first one for $50. then i moved up to my expensive cruiser which was my $300 Coker (36" Wheel) . Its a really fun hobby, especially when you ride around and ppl go "OMG A UNICYCLE!"

[ActiveStorage]

he meant 1% of those who fall on their head and crack their heads open lol

[purplechicken10]

lol

[1810to1913]

yea thats the best i get that alot and i havent even done anything impressive im just riding to the place where i practice but people who know nothing about think going forwards is the greatest and coolest thing since sliced bread i like it though makes me fell not so useless

[ChickenSoup16]
