Donkey Kick Tutorial
Hey guys, I've been practising donkey kicks for a couple of days now but have made no progress what so ever. I can't make the kick consistantly and even when I do make the kick I can't land over the pedals. Any written help is more than welcome but if anyone could piece together a video with some accompanying tips that would be great!

To me believing in yourself not only helps if your going really big. If there's no fear, (tech stuff), it doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does. -Shaun Johanneson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ KlownLife's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5196 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56000 |

Donkey Kick Tutorial
Cheers mate, but what I can't get is the cranks to flip fast enough and when I can I'm nowhere near the pedals when I land. I had the same problem when landing flips.

May be this can help you guys a little. Concentrate about jumping high up from the uni, while kicking the wheel at the same time. Try to get stabilized before kicking and jumping.

Donkey Kick Tutorial
Hey see if this video helps: http://tinyurl.com/ygb5x3 Notice how my upper body leans over the seat, that is important. You want to lean over seat. Don't jump to high, probably a few inches off the ground is fine. Concentrate more on the kick then the jump. It's hard for me to explain what your feet do, but you should be able to do tell from the video. They aren't too hard to learn, but you have to commit to the trick (try to land it), and that can take some time to get your body to do that. -- skate4flip reply '23k' (http://tinyurl.com/88s7x), '25k' (http://tinyurl.com/bqzo4), post '29k' (http://tinyurl.com/ay6w2), reply '37k' (http://tinyurl.com/dzug6), post '41k' (http://tinyurl.com/9ugos), post '47k' (http://tinyurl.com/dmr8y), and reply '61k' (http://tinyurl.com/mds6t) in most replys!!!

that's really helpful, gets me excited to ride. Too bad whenever I leave the pedals I get some kind of injury. -- gordito8me ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gordito8me's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13641 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56000 |

Donkey Kick Tutorial
I was actually starting to practice these things, sort of, today, after I met some new streety riders around my area. I managed to nail zeroplant-donkeys within a few minutes, but I expect the real thing to be harder. However, I'm going to have to use something other than an XTP to practice the proper donkeykicks . This trick seems so much more simple to learn than crankflips and even normal zeroplants in my case for some reason. -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add, I'm always up for a good chat and get to know other unicyclists update on Hodges vid... delayed, need a few more clips. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56000 |

Donkey Kick Tutorial
Well, it's probably not the correct name, but that's the impression I got out of it, this is what I did: Ride along SIF, jump, and place the forward foot onto the ground, as if doing a zeroplant crankflip, but at a slower pedalling speed and don't let the cranks rotate. I am left foot forward, so basically I jump off the uni as if I were doing a normal zeroplant, and have the left foot jump onto the ground, and at the same time, my right foot lands on the tyre.. So for a split second, the tyre is touching the ground, as well as my left foot on the ground. Then i give a sharp kick backwards with my right foot, spin the cranks back, and land onto the pedals. I guess one could just as easily get into this move by doing backwards riding, but hey, that's how I learnt it today. -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add, I'm always up for a good chat and get to know other unicyclists update on Hodges vid... delayed, need a few more clips. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56000 |
