cherry pickers - how to?

so ive had a fifty for goin on 3 summers.

ive got the some of the harder tricks down - poduim circles, figure 8s stag & and sitdown, and can do just about everything ive seen others do.

but i cant figure out how to learn cherry pickers. i can launch ok but i cant figure out how to jive the bike. i always end up coming down soon because i cant keep square on top of the bars.

anyone have any pointers?

Re: cherry pickers - how to?

ya unicycles sorry ive heard them called both.

i can consistantly ride them out a short 10-15ft before i fall left/right & bail.

anyone have any pointers? i keep my *** square on the bars but maybe i should sit closer to the fender? i cant figure out how to counterbalance to stay straight

ok..

i can consistantly launch. i keep my right foot planted best i can on the rearset and stand with the left. gas & jump. timing is similar to learning a sitdown in first. i just cant figure out the right posture.

do i learn forward or backwards? do i counter balance by turning the bars or by leg leverage? i just cant figure out how to "learn how to learn" this
