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

  4. 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.

  6. 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😄

  8. 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.

    backcrankflip isnt that hard

  11. I agree with you max but riding backwards makes it a slightly different
    trick. Revertbackflip, ha, backflips are as hard as you make them if
    you can all ready crankflip. Crankflips are the intial push then the
    air, backflips are more of a push and drag your foot for a half rev on
    the pedal to get the cranks to flip all the way around, hench the look
    that the foot always stays on the pedal. But yeah. Keep with all teh
    flip practice, and don't stop at just a crankflip. There are many
    different kinds. Learn as many as possible.
