So this is a fun alternative way to using the unicycle. In previous segments I've gone
over everything else with getting on the unicycle and riding it. As far as this one goes it's
a fun thing I picked up along the way. This is what I like to call the wheel spin. I hold
the unicycle like this. You've got to make sure that you're pretty strong, and you've
got the muscles to do this. Not so bad, but you've got to make sure to have a little bit
of mass behind you. And what you do is you grab the unicycle wheel, like so, and start
bringing it back and forth like this. Get it moving in a pendulum motion. Get the momentum
up, and bring it up and around. You know what you're going to do, is when it comes up and
cover in slow motion, I?ll bring my left hand out of the way, put it back on, then bring
my right hand out of the way and put it back on. Make sure to have some dexterity because
if you're too slow with it than you might hurt your hand a little bit. So, I've done
it once. I'm going to try to do it twice this time. I got it twice, three times. You could do
it in both directions. I could do it this way, bring it back up and around the other
way, this way, the other way--that was a close one. And you can go as slow and as fast as
you want. And this is the speed I prefer to use it at. And that is the wheel spin on the
unicycle.
