Re: I'm having trouble doing a unispin...


well ive been having problems with the uni spin aswell.

I wear shin pads but due to previous injuries (oh so many) im still
scared of getting my feet on the cranks even with shinnies :(.

So now ive learnt that when learning a new trick, learn it with
shinnies first and do everything i can to not hurt myself (basically
land it).

But in tips, i've realised (finally) that you have to lean over the uni
before you jump for the spin and when you jump you sorta push down on
the seat and just move your legs up (keeping the uni on the ground as
much as possible).

Well anyways... I'm gunna sum up my courage tommorow and really go for
it (even though i've said and tried this many times) and hopefully land
it. :)
