If you are doing backflips then use your back foot, if you are doing
frontflips then use your front foot.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

Yeah, OK but should my front foot be my left or right?

If you are doing backflips then use your back foot, if you are doing
frontflips then use your front foot...

In this case, you have already stated your right crank is forwards...
what more do you need to know?

Do it the same way you hop.

Tomsey if you read this, I landed my first crankflip yesterday (Alex
spent many hours trying to tutor me a few months ago)... man they're
easy! I think i might hold the record for the slowest learning curve to
get this trick down - 10 months!!

I landed it down a small 2 stair straight away (and very almost up
aswell).

The previous day I landed my first ever triple zero flip so maybe that
helped me a bit. Next up: sex changes and doubles. :-)

This thread has gone so far off topic haha. You guys mind if I ask what
the highest set you have flipped up? Also the highest double up...?

Thank you very much to those who have helped me, I landed my first
couple crankflips today (sif backflips), and I think I am now the
second person in Ottawa to land a crankflip. (Ryan being the first).

I have flipped up a 2 also, that was really easy but a 3 seems huge.

How many stairs can everyone crankflip down? I did a pretty big 3 the
other day and I reckon I can go bigger...
