Crankflip

CKCrowe said:

kk, im been working on gliding and crankflip latly, i can do a single
footplant crankflip, and sometimes a double, but i dont see how your
supposed to jump straight up, i know your supposed to keep your hand
straight,but i cant get high enough and enough spin, when i try to get
a high jump, i dont spin the cranks, but when i focus on spinning the
cranks, i do it but cant keep them right under me.

I see how your supposed to get the flipping like motion before you
jump, i only get it half the time, i thought i was using the wheel, but
turned out i was doing it right, im just confused, anyone have any
tips? i just dont know whtever i do I just cant do it, plus my uni
broke yesterday, but im getting the DX, tomarrow so yea.

try jumping and putting a lot of pressure on the cranks, then slide
your foot off the back pedal, that should flip it

I was doing this last night. I was going for crankflips but wasnt
leaning forward enough. The uni would end up going a little bit in
front of me and I would land them one footed.

Actually, it was rather cool to land them one footed and then keep
riding. Am I the first to do that as a trick? 🙄

But try to lean more over than your seat than usuall, if you lean to
far forwards, when you jump, your gonna fly forwards and your uni will
shoot behind you, lean too back and the opposite happens. There is a
happy medium where you end up jumping right over your uni, and then
landing that way.

There's kind of a big chance of racking yourself though, so you may be
scared of that and not committing to landing right over your uni.

Yeah it's an awesome trick. In Vener Xav does it up a 2set and also a
180flip into backwards one footed riding.

Ah, beaten!!!

Well, its still fun to do. I am going unicycling the day after
Christmas, so I am gonna try landing them one-footed, but with my foot
fully extended to the front. Just to exaggerate the trick. Should look
better too. lol

In the end of Cody's koxx breaker vid he does a flip to one foot on top
of a table then he jumps down to the bench and 540 unispins off. Its a
cool line.
