Thanks but the glaring difference is that all the things you mention have FREE wheels to build up speed and then coast into the whoops with speed and momentum. A Unicycle is a fixed wheel and there is just no way to hit the whoops with anywhere near the speed that would be crucial to do that. And even a fixie bike can go way faster than a uni. I do plan to go back and stay for hours practicing bigger jumps, bigger air, and trying 180's off the ramps.
However, someone (about 1/3 my age, haha) has already done a successful frontflip from a stack of pallets about 6 feet high! A backflip would be extremely dangerous on one wheel, and especially for me, being 2 weeks shy of my 54th b-day, lol! There have been a few static backflips OFF of a uni, but they all landed on the ground and not on the uni.
