Merry Christmas everyone! I'd just like to second this question, looking
for some tips beyond "practice" and "search the forums" please.

well i just landed my first one yesterday (litldude2 (spencer) helped me
on mine). It helps to have a very low seat so your not scared to nut
yourself. Try to kick down more instead of out. Make sure to left your
non-kicking foot up first and then flicking the cranks around with your
kicking foot as you jump in the air.

I would suggest to watch videos of it in slow motion to get an idea of
how to do it. Alot of it is practice though. I practiced for about an
hour and half straight on it and i landed one.

The way i do it is I ride slow then quickly speed up and put all my
weight on the foot that is going to do the flipping. Then when you hop
up suck your non flipping foot up high to get it out of the way to make
sure none of the pressure is lost when you hop. Remember to put the toe
of your flipping foot on the pedal with the rest of my foot hanging
off. That way it is so much easier to flip it. So hop and suck up your
foot and push down really hard with the flipping foot. With the
flipping foot you should push down fast then really quickly pull that
one back up so both of your feet are in the air. If you don't suck back
up your flipping foot you will end up with a one footed rev. It is a
good idea to slightly lean on your flipping foot right before you take
off to put more pressure on it so it can flip faster.The rest is just
learning how hard to kick it and getting your timing down.
Good luck

Its a preference thing, some people do front ones naturally and some do
back ones. All I know is once you learn to do front ones, its really
hard to learn backflips.

I have to disagree with you spencer.. if you ride backwards a
backcrankflip isnt that hard
