The stock pedals on the DX are like superglue. You may want to try some
plastic pedals if you can't make any more progress.

that helped.

the next step to take!

Plastics are good for flips. You should be able to do them with metal
ones too, its not much harder just can hurt more when you miss. When
you do anything more than normal flips then plastics are nicer. If your
feet aren't coming off then just work on that first...

Oh and search, there are exactly a bizzilion threads about crankflips,
there was like a month where everyone was obsessed with them and there
were like 20 new threads per day about them...crazyness.

Oh and you said you don't know how to get your foot off the pinned
pedal in time to get your feet on the cranks to land...first of all,
don't try to land on the cranks. That will make them harder to land in
my experience. What do you mean you can't get your feet off in time to
land? A crankflip doesn't exactly require alot of air time. If you can
rolling hop a curb then you should be fine with that whole height
thing.

no i'm not having trouble getting enough airtime, that's no problem.
it's just my shoes stick to the pinned pedals and i can't get them off
the pedals in time enough to flip em. maybe i'll try putting my plastic
pedals from my old cx on my dx for a bit to see if it helps. thanks a
lot guys! oh and as for the grease suggestion? i don't think so. 😄 lol
that would be weird.

Definetly use plastic pedals, also, (for personal preference of mine)
use the top half of your foot on the pedal and hang about 1/3 of your
foot off the side the pedal, then kick down and out kinda.

When I was learning flips that tip helped me sooo much. I went from
only half flips to full good ones just by moving my foot.

Don't get into bad habits, they suck alot.

I was just curious, when you moved your foot, that helped to get the
full rotation. When you learnt doubles, did you change your techneque?
Or just do everything harder?

I learnt full flips first without moving my foot, then doubles moving
my foot.

I moved it to get normal flips. I can flip it with any part of my foot
now though. I had some problem where I couldn't get my technique down
and that seemed to help.

With the double flips I do the same thing except I kick it down and
back and with the singles I just push down.
