Idling (Hovering) on a Unicycle Explained

Idling on a unicycle is a separate skill from riding a unicycle. One that you can easily master with a little practice.
Like most skills, you can probably figure this one out on your own with practice and time but I wanted to describe the major highlights of idling to keep in mind so hopefully it'll come a little faster.

Excellent tutorial. Idling is the one major unicycle skill I haven't been able to do yet. It's next on my list and I need to get it straight in my mind first, so I found your video extremely useful. I really like the way you break things down and show it from different perspectives and different settings.

Dude, thank you so much for the kind words. I really hope you put it together soon. I know you got it. Please let me know if you have any concerns as you continue. You’re going to crush it!

This video is awesome can’t wait to try out what I’ve learned from it I’m sure it’ll will put me one step closer to learning this

[@HoboDan]

❤️❤️I hope so! If that’s not the case let me know and we’ll troubleshoot

Hey Dan. Great video about the "twisting" needed to create a momentary brake motion. This can be done "smoothly", banana path. You can also apply a "lightning quick" twist for a quick save or change in direction.

Thank you!

This was really helpful i cant wait to practice. The thinking of moving not in a straight line really clicked for me. I have a broken leg at the moment (unicycle accident) but im training a very determined 6 year old that insist we still "train" everyday to be "unicycle champions"..... Ive only been riding just under two years and shes passing me in the skill department. Youre videos are greatly appreciated!

[@HoboDan]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind comment. Thank you for the feedback. If there is anything you're hung up on in the future I'd 100% be down to provide advice in anyway.

[@unicycleodiman]

could you tell me what size wheel is the first unicycle in this video ?

[@HoboDan]

Of course. The bigger one is 27.5 inches and 3.2 inches wide I believe. The smaller one is a 20 inch and 2.75 inches wide

The whole banana shape of the idle? get on top and do it straight. Who wants banana? 🍌

[@HoboDan]

Wish I could change it for you.

Im concerned ill never get this.. mostly concerned for my a nkles futures. Not looking good for them.

[@HoboDan]

Oh no! Can you explain? Is riding in general painful or concerning?
