    I have been doing crank flips for a while on my DX and wanted to learn
    double flips. The problem is my flips have slowed down. When i first
    learned them I was spinning the really fast but now they have slowed
    down and i cant seem to get the speed back up. Has this happened to
    anyone else? What should i doo, any tips? Thanks.

    Same thing happened to me, when I was first learning crankflips I was
    almost always overspinning them to just under a double flip. However,
    now that I'm consistent with crankflips my double flips just seem to
    get slower and slower the harder I try to flip them.

    Repetition.

    Its a combo or jumping, applying pressure(or kicking) with the front
    foot, and moving the feet out of they way.
    Its takes repetition. It takes repetition. After, what can be a
    looooong time for most people, you will get the feel for it. Its one of
    those things that makes little sence at first then all of a sudden its
    one simple motion.

    I have landed a double before but havnt realy tried since and feel it
    was mainly luck. The problem I have is not so much flipping it fast but
    getting my feet back on at the right time, I think I may go out and
    practice later.
