Unicycle Riding Off a Small Drop

"Another important thing that you need to be able to do, if you want to go off-roading or if you want to do Urban obstacles, is you have to be able to ride off of a small drop, just ride straight over it. The way that you're going to do that is, as you're coming up to it, you prepare yourself for it and you are going to stand up on the pedals and you're going to be holding onto the seat. You want to hold onto the seat at all times because if you stand up on the pedals, the seat's just going to fall out from between your legs, if you don't hold onto it. As you go down, you don't want to lock your legs, but you want them to be strong, basically tense. You want them to act as shock absorbers so as you go off the drop, you will absorb the shock of hitting it and you'll be able to keep riding. I'm going to get on and I'm going to ride a little bit, then when I get closer, I'm going to stand up on the pedal, hold onto the seat and tense my legs, so that I'm ready for the shock. That's how you ride over or down a small obstacle."
