I need clips of you people doing crankflips (one shot, one flip would be great). I'm making a crankflip tutorial and it would be cool to have other shots of people doing them to maybe show the person watching what's going on and different styles. I'll break down the trick into steps to progress the learning and maybe elimate fear. If this is a succuss I'll go on to make more advanced tutorials.
I videoed Mike Swarbrick (aka swarbrim) doing a nice crankflip at BUC last month. It's easy to see, as he just rode slowly before doing it, and after doing it.
Although as the cameraman I'm alright for the clip to be used in tutorials, the real permission would have to come from the rider that features in it. I'm sure he'll reply here...

Its not a super in depth one but im guessing it helped some people.
I would like to see a tutorial for hand position on 360 unispins out to in, 360 unispins in to in, inward unispins (in to out, out to in, in to in, out to out), and maybe treyflips too.
i'm gonna try get one of tony's crank flips (NZ's only crankflip atm) on video very soon (as soon as we go *street* riding during the day with a camera).
@Shaun - Is there any format you will be using in particular (ie. 4:3 or 16:9), plus do you care for what the resolution they are filmed in?
Yes you could use it anywhere. I would appreciate links of vids if there is a clip on there, then I can just split the clip out too, if it's a good shot. Hopefully by the person the did the flip sending me the link, that's permission enough, lol. It will be in 16:9, but I could film in 4:3 if needed.

To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andycookuk's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11138 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/50044
This sounds like a great idea, I could do with a more indepth crankflip tutorial. I could also do with a few other video tutorials, namely Stand-up Wheel Walk & maybe 540 unispin. I'm sure plenty of people could make the first one, the second would just be a bonus.
Anyway, great idea, hope to see it soon.

Hokay, if you wanna see it then my crankflip-clip of mister swarbrim is 'over here' (http://tinyurl.com/elanq).
It's not really that good because it was spontaneously filmed, whereas if Mike has time to film a specific clip that will probably be a much better result.

I dont remember you filming me, but that is a good shot. Im sure now I could do mine slower and higher to make it easier to see. But that was with a nice quality camera, nice work!
