  1. OK over spring break I practiced zeroplants and footplants. I now can
    get triple zero plant on my freestyle uni and double on my trials and
    can get double on footplants with my trials. Well Ive been trying
    flips now and cannot get them. I lean over keep my arm straight jump
    and kick it but I can never get it to spin. When I do get a good spin
    the uni goes infront of me any tips.

    P.S. Ive been reading all the threads and wtaching the videos so ive
    actually searched on this.

  3. I find with crankflips that if you put your front foot for the kick,
    with just your toes or front part of foot on the pedal, the full flip
    is alot easier to kick. Try half flips as well. I found them easy.

  4. If you do try half flips, dont get into the habit of only doing them. It
    can be hard to break out of and stuff.

    AS for the flip, try the above, with just your toes or front part of
    your foot on the pedal, but instead of kicking straight down, try to
    kick diagonally down.

    Like in a kickflip, you dont kick the board just straight up or to the
    side, you go in a diagonal motion and that really gets the spin.
