  1. I sometimes have trouble crankfliping things because i flip too fast.
    Are you meant to catch it in the air like mike clark does in defect or
    just flip slower?

  4. You can do them either way. I usally spin them kinda slow on bigger sets
    just cause i haven't learned to catch them early that well. I think
    catching them early has way better advantages.

  5. I think it is much better to catch the flip early. It is much more
    controlled. If you watch skateboarders (good ones) do flip tricks off
    stuff, you will see the catch the flip trick way before they are even
    close to the ground. The really good ones even catch the flip trick
    while they are still *above* the obstacle they are jumping off of.

    Although really slow flips look kind of cool if done right.

  6. I'm sure this has been spoken about at some point already but I'd like
    to see someone do a doubleflip where they catch it early and flip it
    again in the air... front to front, front to back, back to back, back
    to front... what would you call that? Stutterflip?

  7. I just learnt to catch my flips. It makes it so much easier and it looks
    cooler. 🙂 Now i can start working on a "flip late rev"

    Is it much harder? I have trouble with normals after I do a few
    doubles. I flip them to fast after a while. Good luck with the rev
    flips 🙂

  10. hahaha This is rad. Finally people talking about two tricks in one jump.
    that's rad. awesome

    Stutterflip, wow pete66, I really like that idea, damn. Like crankflip
    latecrankflip, shorted to flip/stutterflip.

    Crankflip kickbackcrankflip, maybe like, flip underflip, that's
    skateboarding too, so i don't know.

    I really like stutterflip though, no sarcasim.

    -Shaun Johanneson

    p.s. It's really hard, hahaha.

    Trying my best to impress. It seems that some people think that flips
    are becoming "trick spam". I just think it's a way to make old school
    easy street harder.

  11. one more thing. Catching them late makes sets so easy. I went from doing
    a 5 set, but never wanting to do it again, learned how to catch it
    early then hit an 8 set just days later. Earlier is way better.
