ok so ui was learning crankflips yesterday and i could not do them! i think i dont flip hard enough or take my back foot off fast enough so anyway i was trying them rolling for quite a while them moved to static to see what i was doing wrong. so i try it a few times and then i got a 3/4 rev rather than a 1/2 rev. so i try it a few more time s and then i go to do it onece more, i pullup and ,POW! I cracked wy handle! now i not only cant do crankflips but i i also have a broken seat! I was and am [censored].😠 😠 😠
any tips would be great. also could anyone tell my why i cracked my handle?
ok i was wrong aboutr the positon of the crack. its sorta by where the handle is bolted to the seat base. but not where a stiffener plate would go. none of thosde things would help other thatbn the new handle , thanks though.
edit:never mind that yoopers fix is exactly what i need! i dont even gotta buy a new handle!🙂

You should still get a replacement handle and keep it on hand. That way when the handle really breaks (and it eventually will) you won't have to wait while you do a rush order with unicycle.com so you can get back to riding as soon as possible.
Shaun Johenneson(sp?) is like the best at crankflips and he rides with a viscount which doesn't even have a handle. He has crankflipped an 8 set with it so it is possible to crankflip without one. Also by the way, torker lx handles suck.

If you do the Yoopers fix to a new saddle, the handle will last a long, long time. That said, the Torker handles don't work as well with the Yoopers fix because the plastic is a little harder on the Torkers, so that it splits rather than deforming.
Wow, thanks for dredging that up, John; I'd forgotten all about that little manual.
