    computer and practice.

  4. For 180 flips, I think you need to experiment with what works best for
    you. I would say try to keep your body in a vertical line with the uni
    while you are spinning. Also, try to kick your feet up, rather than
    out. That way it is easier to get them back down in time to catch the
    flip. Those are the things that helped me go from almost landing them
    to landing them

    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

    I cant hick yet, havnt realy tried it. I have landed a varial but not
    rolled out of one yet. I saw your video which Is why I started to learn
    them. I will probably learn hicks next although my freestyle uni should
    come in about a week when they get my tyre in stock, then I want to get
    my 1ft ww better and learn to glide.

  11. Hicks are pretty simple. I havnt heard of anyone learning Varialflips
    before hicks. Do you guys 180 Flip the same way you normaly hop twist?
    I do, but I do all my spins, Varials, Bigspin, etc. The opposite way I
    hoptwist which made them hard to learn, I'm closer to Inwardflip then
    Varialflip ^^

    I got hicks before outs. But thats pretty cool, why hick when you can
    out. Seat in moves look so much better.

    prefer Hickflips....... but why? its like the zero plant version of a
    Footplant Crankflip. I can do Hickflips static but not Outflips. Unless
    I were doing Hickflips static I'd prefer Outflips.
