No-Handed Track Stand + 3x3x3 Solve

[tim]

How I practiced track standing over the last ~4 years: I rode my bike almost daily and attempted to track stand on every traffic light without caring about the embarrassment falls/near-falls cause.

That was pretty cool. Nice balance! Now you need a unicycle

Cool!

I'm great with unicycles.. I can even jump rope on one but I can't do this and I bike all the time

Very impressive though, I assume this is UWR!

Nice balance!

Thanks!

Nice! I'm the complete opposite. I gave unicycling a shot several times already, but never made significant progress. I guess I need to borrow one for several days/weeks to get the hang of it. BTW having a fixed gear bike helps a lot with doing no-handed track stands. I don't think I could to it without one.

I assume this is UWR!

I guess so. I'm not too keen of making an (unofficial) event out of it, though. What counts as a track stand seems to be pretty arbitrary: How much am I allowed to move forward/backward?

Heh heh...or you could use a kickstand...

Great! Can you do a solve while jumping rope on a unicycle?

I can solve on a unicycle.. Probably not while jumping rope. I mean jump rope takes two hands..

Thanks!

Oh I have a Masi cyclocross bike.. You can wiggle a bit on the bike but you just can't
pedal. Unicycling took me about a month to learn to ride.

Edit: Dang double post..

Definition of track-stand-solve: If the distance your bike travels is smaller than the distance your layers travel

I had never seen a track-stand, so I am doubly impressed

jump rope takes two hands..

You can tie one end to something and just swing it with your other hand. Or have someone else or two swing it so you need no hands for it.

That's a good idea... It's hard to stay in one place doing it though. I'll give it a shot.

Feet while jumproping?
