Now that you are up on your Unicycle, we have done all our rocks we have gotten pretty familiar with it all. I am going to show you weight displacement. If you have been doing this the way I have been telling you, you probably are already getting familiar with where your weight is suppose to go. It is very important to get it just right because you are going to find that sweet spot. The sweet spot is where you find that exact spot where you are balancing, you are not leaning to far forward or to far back or from side to side. For weight displacement, you should lean back just a little bit. Two reasons; 1: You can balance your weight if your chest is over your feet. This differs in people but for the most part everyone agrees. 2: if you are leaning back and you fall you want to fall backwards.
