Cranflippin(learning curve?)

I'm going to say to use the search, theres alot talking about this
already out there. But...

It took me an hour and half straight to get my first forward
crankflip.

No footers might help to learn first just to get used to having your
feet off the pedals, but crankflips are a totally different motion then
no footers so dont get used to them. Half flips are another thing that
might help, or not help you. Most people do them as more of a rolling
no footer which makes it harder to switch to learn crankflips.

The best trick to learn would probably be a full rev, in my opinion.

As for learning the crankflip go to http://www.unicycletips.com/ and
watch the tutorial video me and spencer made on it (I'm pretty sure its
under the street section)

Ask here or PM me or whatever if you have other questions.

Hope this helps.

I believe if you can hop then you can flip. It just takes practice.

I'm from cranberry country and to flip them you simply turn them over.
It's quite easy.

I'm at the end of my patience with flips, been practising for 30 mins
just flips and I am consistently landing exactly the same way...not
landing on the cranks.
I've spoken to Shaun, watched the vids, read the tips and still I
can't get it. No one can really give me any help, so here it is. Either
I can spin the cranks all the way round and I land off the front of the
uni, can't see the cranks to land and I'm far too far forward to land
anyway or I jump up and end up doing a no footer landing on the pedals
or spin them 90 and it does [censored] all.
I'm in desperate need of some help here, any tips would be great,
absolutely any, I've never been so frustrated with one trick!!!

Thanks in advance,

Jas

Haha just dont worry about it.

Heres how I learned....
Ride at a slow pace
When ready stop for a split second and lean over the uni.
Kick with your foot as you hop(more of a push).
Stay leaning over the uni as you hop, trying to hop up and not going
for any distance.
Ummm I guess thats it lol. Stick with it....it will come to you.
