  1. Hey I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions or tips for
    learning Hick backflips (or videos that show it clearly). When I have
    been trying them so far, I seem to have alot of trouble with the timing
    bewteen the jump, flip, and spin. I've tried Hick fakieflips too, and
    it is easier to get the timing but I never seem to be able to keep the
    wheel under me (and when I am able to keep it under me, the flip will
    barely flip). Thanks.

    EDIT: I might beable to film some of my attempts tomorrow.

    I now know why Tomsey is so good at backs. And why Shaun owns at normal
    flips.
    It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
    in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
    flip backwards then forwards. 😉 :p

  7. Hickbacks just seem so unnatural. I find outbacks a lot easier. But I
    can't do hickbacks so, that might be it.
