The momentum of the &#8220;roll&#8221; acts to oppose the increasing weight you&#8217;re putting on the pedal, giving you time to get your body up and over the centre of the wheel before the weighted pedal finally defeats the momentum of the roll.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not mastered it yet.  I can get onto the pedals, but usually end up in the dead 6-12 position.  I once managed to roll into a seat-out hop though, so I can see where I&#8217;m going.  Just more practise required.  Seat-out hopping, which felt completely mental the first time I tried it, is starting to get better too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahaha, I just figured out the mount used in the unispin tutorial video, eg. at 1m10s.
