It took me a while after learning crankflips to learn 180 flips and hickflips. To start learning 180 flips, start practicing riding slower and slower into the crankflip until you can ride up to it then pause then flip. Once you can do this the 180 twist with it won't be hard. The whole point of this process is to rely more on snapping the cranks instead of just rolling really fast and jumping off while the cranks flip from the speed then landing back on. Hicks will take time also but try and really more on snapping then speed. Also try to do a SIF flip before you starting learning hicks.

I cant do anything with my crankflip either. Can someone do a write up on 180 flips. I dont know how I could hoptwist and crankflip at the same time. Is seems impossible.

I started up and down curbs, then down three sets. I skipped going down a two set cause that seems ridiculous to me. Ill practice up a two set though. =p I need to get a CF base soon. I can probably keep my plastic on for another 3 months, but something has to snap then. Or just keep bending and bending and bending.. Its all mental. If you are doing crankflips, then chances are, you are jumping the 2.5-3" to get up a curb. I love going down stuff. For me, I feel like everything goes slow motion and I can see my cranks spinning and everything that is happening. Then I wreck. -- Jerrick -i am christian, and i ride for christ.~~~~team forrest~~~~~~~~team dirty bird!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~')-2xlegwrap-o' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9doz4jbiigy) check out my 'gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/2zfklh).~~~~~~~~~...quack!~~~~team spencer!~~~team kickyourass! member of the 'mris' (http://tinyurl.com/jjjnz). want some advice? unicycle better. ~jerrick: king of carnies- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61016 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

tmoyer wrote: What's the "bad version"? I worked on half flips and 3/4 flips today. It felt good cause it was making me stay over the uni and land on the pedals. I got a couple that were just past a 3/4 flip, so I got out the camera - and it was depressing. It looked like *$#@. My feet were following the pedals the whole way around and I couldn't even tell that it wasn't a rev. I know my feet are leaving the pedals - cause I miss them a lot when I land - but not by enough to make it look like a flip. So is that a good way to work on the progression or not? Or does it teach bad habits that have to get unlearned? The way I was doing it before - going for the whole thing and jumping high - it looks much better. But of course I can't land them yet. The bad version of crankflips are using momentum to flip the cranks, not an actual flip. So basically you just ride, do a rolling no footer, and then the cranks move and you land. The right way is to put force on the cranks and flip it. For your flipping problem (Not sure this would work...) maybe you could try no footers(static and rolling)? Maybe that would teach you to keep your feet on top. -- _Ground_Zero_ -Zero )-2xLegwrap-O 3rd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _Ground_Zero_'s Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15520 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61016 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
