i like the look of crankflips...they seem to flow better for peopel who are relatively new to the street game. i kno that some people(you included) can make 360's look real good when they flow but i would really rather learn the crankflip right now.
yeah... so many crankflip threads. they are way overrated. the threads and the trick. once you can do 360unispins rolling, then maybe try backcrankflips just to be different.
Crankflip threads are great. It's good to see more and more people doing them, and learning them. Then crankflips will become standard. This is really good because street will advance past this. In skateboarding no one is excited for a kickflip since it's been done in everyway imaginable, crankflips might be like this in two years or so. Street will advance to the point where crankflips are the first things people practice, until then, I love everyone trying them, the more that know them the better, and, I say, you can still be super stoked to hit one. Not an easy trick. Laters
i can crankflip and 360 unispin. i think the crankflips are much easier though. im working on backcrankflips (ive stuck them) and unispin crankflips (hickflip?).
If you just spend about 1 to 2 hours one day working on crankflips you can usually land your first one. it just takes time to figure out the timing.
Oh, what does everyone use when they do them, pedal-wise that is. Ive heard ppl say its a lot easier with plastic pedals, or some ppl have one of each pedal, so one plastic on one side.
