  1. I recently saw the flip tricks vid and it inspired me to try crankflips
    but all ive done so far is hurt myself even with my 661's. Im sure
    theres probably been some tips given already but if any one could give
    me a link to them or tips that would be great

    Cheers Lucas

  2. Hey Lucas. Crankflips are probably one of the best street tricks you can
    learn because they lead to so many new things. Here is an article that
    Shaun wrote. GO here....
    http://unicycle.2ya.com/

    then go to street skills and then crankflips. It pretty much sums it
    all up.
    Just try to keep the unicycle under you and don't get intimidated.

    If you need to know more, just ask.

    KH.

    Actually, I learned crankflips seat out because I was scared of nutting
    myself. Sorta wierd, eh? But after I learned the regular ones I found
    they are much easier and now I use them much more often. I think now
    that it would have been better to learn them seat in, because it was
    difficult making the transition from the seat out version to seat in.

  9. Haha, umm all the way down. Maybe a couple of inches of seat post
    showing but not much. I used to ride my uni like that all the time just
    because I liked how it felt. For a while when I had my first summit I
    had the seat touching the neck with no post at all showing. Now I am
    doing alot me seat in front stuff so I have it higher.
