Nice video! The part about explaining the types you can get was extremely helpful; I will definitely be referring back to this when I buy one. Thanks a lot!!!
@bozocaoca I never use a brake on my 36er, mostly because I ride it on mostly level ground. I think it would only be necessary if you would be riding areas where there are lots of hills to go down. Other than that, I just use regular back pressure to stop, which seems to work well enough.
@madogblue Thanks. I'm pretty much using peripheral vision like you mentioned. It helps to try to keep everything in view; the uni, pedals, wheel and the immediate area in front of you.
Everytime I mount my 27.5 unicycle I'm always able to put some pressure on the pedal I'm not supposed to put pressure on and it's fine. As long as the pedal is slightly above the 9 o'clock position
Thanks. Idling a 36er is tricky die to the mass and weight of the wheel making it hard to stop to reverse directions. the longer the cranks, the easier that will be.
Nicely done! I have a KH 36 unicycle and can you give any tips on doing a "jump mount" with the unicycle upright and landing both feet at the same time?
Terry, I'm able to get up on the pedal, without driving the uni back, but find myself unable to push down with my left foot, to get moving (left is the leg which is on the ground). Sometimes, I even end up stupidly staying still for up to 2-3 seconds before I have to unmount. I feel ridiculous. With a 20", I'm able to put my weight forward and get moving, but I don't seem to be able to do that on my 36". I'm beginning to think I'm too short to manage it. I've been able to free-mount and ride away on a couple of occasions, but no matter how hard I try, I don't seem to be able to get it to stick. I get one successful mount in about an hour or two of frustration, and sometimes a bad crash.
@meangreen4321 Thanks. Search for my video, "Mountain Unicycling with new Kris Holm 36er! ". At about 2:10 in you will see the jump mount on my 36er. It's tricky to do because the saddle is so high up, compared to a smaller uni, but it's doable. It helps to have the saddle lowered and balance the uni so when you let go of it to jump it will stay upright long enough to jump onto it.
Hey man, Some great tips! I'm from Brazil and right now, tryng to buy a 36 unycicle, but I have a big doubt: a break system is really nescessary? I never saw one around here in my country, so maybe you can help me. Just a opinion! (I only like normal rides..nothing about jump rocks and this crazy stuff, just "normal" riding!) aeheaheah thanks a lot!
Hello Thank's for your vidéos. To begin with 36" . how many must measure the pedals. I buy one with 114 , i don't try yet i wait protections 🤪 and KH freeride saddle. I have 26" luxus and i ride only in urban. Sorry for my english i'm french. Cordialy Fabien

Thank you so much! Now I can freemount too. I posted a video response. Funny thing, I couldn't do the static mount, but the rolling mount went well.

Extremely helpful Terry, Thanks. The videos really flicked a switch in my brain. Now, any tips on idling on a 36inch???
I'm first one to watch and comment, liekd the tutorial very informative to new 36 riders
@madogblue Thanks. I'm pretty much using peripheral vision like you mentioned. It helps to try to keep everything in view; the uni, pedals, wheel and the immediate area in front of you.
MUCH appreciated!
Very informative.
@ctujpandJC They're made by 661. The arm guards are 2x4 and knee/shin are 4x4

You're very welcome!
2:12 dat crank arm offset!
Smith, you may want to try a 29er. I have about 2 inches of seat post left on my nightrider 36er and I'm 6'1".

I'm trying to decide between the nightrider and the Coker big one and v2 any suggestion? Also I'm 5'9" will I be able to ride them??
I want to ask how long is the crandle 127?, 114?
terry, how do you keep the seat from burning the butt on a long ride?
What size did you first learn on?
Seems like the cranks are non-parallel
YEah it looked that way ,lol. (Sorry for the late reply)
