Do you (plural) think that crankflips might be easier to learn off a
small drop, because you have more time in the air?
Also, I hop to the left with my left foot back holding the seat with my
right hand...which is weird. Most people hop to the direction of their
front foot, and hold the seat with the hand of their back foot. It
makes pedal grabs difficult, and I was wondering if anyone thinks this
orientation will make grinds, crankflips or anything harder.
Hey this is the same way I hop. Right foot forward (left foot back),
right hand on the seat, and to the left. So when I ride trials I pedal
grab with my left (back) foot. I actually find back foot pedal grabs
easier then ones with your front foot. Originally I would hold the seat
with my right hand and hop to the right and I learned pedal grabs with
my front foot but they were awkward so I switch to hopping to the left.
I grind better with my front crank. Flips and unispin flip variations
more depend on your unispin/hop twist direction. I haven't had too many
problems with them.
I'd like to see more people doing switch flip tricks. I plan to start
hitting them down some sets soon (injured right now).
