hickflip tips

Let's go with.

1. Concentrate on popping into the air, no forward advancement at
first. This way you'll have the height and the time on your side.

2. With both hands, seat out in front, yank up on the uni right as you
jump, this way it will give the cranks a good flip, with your high jump
giving you time.

3. Kick towards the ground, like you are kinda going to plant one foot,
but not really, haha. With the kick and the pull up on the seat that
should be all you need for flip speed, you're jumping up and not
forward will give you the time.

4. Unispin the uni at your comfortable speed, faster the smaller the
jump. But the difference between unispinning speeds is very small.

Good luck.

Also, if you can't already, I would learn/perfect seat out flips. Can
you outflip? That might help you have the confidence to land it once
you've got the technique down.

To me believing in yourself not only helps if your going really big. If
there's no fear, (tech stuff), it doesn't really matter, It's just what
the body does.

Hey Jonny when you hickflip, try to concentrate on flipping the cranks
and THEN spinning the uni. I know for me, alot of times if i dont get a
full flip, it is because i tried to do the unispin too early. So yeah,
see if that helps. Good luck.

No i cant outflip, i dont think that will be too hard though in the
future. im hopin to nail a lot of flip variations before naucc so i can
do the street competition, but more so jsut so i can get my riding
better and stray from freestyle more. i think theres more progression
in street nowadays for sure.

and dude, ya know what i just figured out?...youre jason auld. or
however you spell it?...haha. i thought you might be and i looked at
your profile which had your myspace and sure enough you are. i saw a
vid of you not long ago doin a 540 unispin and it was awesome, it
really inspired me. it seems like ive seen you in another vid before
too, but i have a bad memory. but yea i love youre riding, its so
confident.

k, well i havnt unicycled much latly, an hour the last 2 days,
(minimum).

But i always jsut work on the formation like i am going to just
unispin, and i just do crankflips without the unispin, one hand in
front one of the side (learn both on the side of the uni first) Then
you just concentrate on doing that, and then at the very end once you
get that down barly do the 180 unispin focus on the crankflip, i can
hit the pedals, ill have to down sooo soon the sad thing is during a
school week it is so hard to get riding time with wrestling and
homework and all.

good luck.

I know why Tomsey is so good at backs and why Shaun owns at normal
flips.
It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards
