  1. basically as the name suggests its a no footer(without tyre grab) and a
    half flip. essentially a half flip with your feet as high as possible.
    i tryed it the other day and sorta landed it (did my wrist on 3rd
    attempt). has it been done before? if not dibbs on naming rights. also
    working on no footer half flip with tyre grab.

    Yeah, before I learned full flips I did tire grab half flips and 180
    half flips. I just thought of it as just stuff to try when you can't do
    normal flips yet.

    mate, that is so lame. no offence but it seems like you just wanna name
    a trick. I suggest you try harder on trying to land an ACTUAL flip and
    forget about this "half flip no footer" the nature of a flip is that
    it's always gonna be a no footer, otherwise it is a rev.

    Think about it...

  8. it looks better than a normal crankflip to most people who dont know
    anything about unicycling. to really appreciate a crankflip you have to
    see it in slo mo. or have the person do a doubleflip.

  10. I use to mess around with a lot of half new flips (not half flips, half
    new, stuff i'll explain). After I learned flips I wanted to learn more
    (naturally) but I could learn a lot of the harder stuff, well it was
    frustrating me. So I learned how to do crankflips but bust a huge ariel
    for a jump, the feet went out and it was a crankflip. I called them
    arielflips (lame now, but it made the crankflip alittle bit harder back
    then), then I also learned to kick the cranks with my heel on the pedal
    instead of my toe, made the flip harder aswell, I called those
    heelflips, haha, go figure. I don't do that stuff anymore since it's
    kinda lame. If you want to learn more type of flips, do just that,
    don't find ways to do the same trick with alittle different motion of
    your body and think it's a different trick. Because most likely someone
    does it like that anyway, and thinks nothing of it.
