Is it a Crankflip?



Is it good to learn to do a rev. before a crankflip?

I think revs help.

Its how i got my first crankflip, they help me build speed when i was
starting for my crankflips.

If you can both ride and jump I feel that revs should come without much
practice and I don't feel that they really lend to learning the crank
flip. Knowing how to kick flip on a skateboard on the other hand helps
a ton as its basically the same exact motion for a crank flip.

Thanks, before I realized how similar they were I was trying to spin
the cranks by kicking just downwards on the pedals though that wasn't
working out for me. If you kick forward and out like you would for a
kick flip I find that it spins a lot better.

even get close to a crankflip

Because theres a lot more to a crankflip than the flipping. Study
Shaun's crankflip tutorial and ride really slow when you do them.

Are you having trouble with getting a full rotation on the flip or just
trouble landing it?

Yeah, I learned to crankflip before I could do a full rev, I thought I
was just slow or something :p

Sorry to bump the thread, but a better name for a "rev" or "full rev" is
"E.T". I'm not sure how many people use that term already, but it
sounds much more street than "rev", and just about every other street
trick has a fancy name for it.

The term E.T is coined from the film E.T, where the little green
monster is on the handlebars of the kids bik, and the kid pedals in the
air with no point of contact to the ground. Sure is, hell is.

I remember a long time ago there was a thread about this trick in which
it was named, and I think Tomsey from Australia was the first one who
came up with the name E.T., but it didn't really catch on as much as
Rev...and I think he said a backwards rev is called a rewind, either a
backwards rev or a forwards then backwards, is called a rewind.

Yeah, sometimes we call them fastforward, rewind, rev. I like the term
E.T and back E.T.
Like crankflip and backflip, et and back et.
Anyways, time to eat chocolate!
