  1. Hey guys, just a couple of questions about crank length.

    1. Is crankfliping easier on shorter cranks because its faster or
    longer cranks because theres more torque?

    2. Are standing on crank tricks easier on shorter cranks or longer
    cranks?

  2. i'm not sure about your first question, but as for your second, i find
    it a lot easier with the longer, wider cranks on my onza. This might be
    because the cranks on my freestyle are reali short though, 89mm

  3. i think that crankflipping would be that same...youre cranks dont turn
    the whole wheel turns..the only way to make the flip go faster or
    slowwere is to kick harder or softer

  4. 1. I think its a bit of both, I learnt on my KH (20"😉 with 150's and
    after I broke both seatposts reverted to a Nimbus Trials which has
    125's I think. I am not sure witch one was harder or easier. Sorry

    2. Alot of the wrap tricks I see Amanda do are on her Onza, so I think
    that could make it easier.

    I am sorry I couldnt be more help.

  5. Well shorter cranks make you go faster with less work so i would have
    thought it would have been easier to crankflip on em but not definet
