tips for crankflips, crankflip stalls

ive been having this same problem with crankflip to grinds.

what you need to do is keep the uni as upright as possible, to do this
you need to jump, then split seconds after this flip it...

if you are trying it rolling, you need to try to stop jumping forward
and just jump striaght up.

its hard. good luck... practice

WOW, ryan dosnt know what a crankspin is!

a crank spin is wher you rotate your wheel with your feet on the padals,
fro instance a 180 cranks spin is where you either hop or jump off
something and spin your wheel 180.

then theres 360/540 and so on.

a crank flip is when the wheel rotates 360 degrees with your feet off
the pedals, a rev is when the wheel rotates with feet on the pedals

WRONG!

you can do 180 crank flips!

a rev and spin are the same thing

ok.. only you so far called them crankspins...

half ones are called revs...

i call full ones either rewinds or fast forwards... i think they sound
better than full revs...

and dude... no wonder he dont know what your talking about... they were
always revs... or full revs...

When you do crankflips, do you have to air the uni? I can do a rolling
no footer and the uni just rolls under me and by the time i land the
wheel has flipped. Does this count as a crankflip or is it something
else?

It sounds like your just coasting.You have to be in the air to
crankflip.

huh... i think that rolling one is originally how i got to trying stalls
with crankflips and stuff a long time ago. i guess technically it's
similar to a crankflip but just not as cool, and it kind of fails to
work itself into street like an air trick would.

Rolling crankflips. Also understakeboarding terms, pressure flips.
Crankflip, you air, the uni doesn't, it rolls. Flip happens but uni
never leaves ground. Cool trick, picked it up about 3 days ago. Thought
i was the only one, guess not. Oh well. Not that hard if you can
crankflip. I give you props for learning them first befroe crankflips.
Crankflips to grind tricky as hell, can't do them yet, but close. Stall
hmmm. I guess it would just be slower moving so you dont' fall foward.
But yeah. Also rewinds (full back revs) I like it, i call Rotators (full
foward revs) Any half measurement, just state half or 1 and a half, lol.
But yeah, i'm out.

that sounds pretty cool, and sounds like you invented a new trick. I
dunno what you'd call it, a rolling crankflip....?

well, hmmm. what i can do in the region of crank flip things is the
stalled crank spin. crank grab, then shift weight and feet so that the
wheel rotates 180, then back, then hop off.
for a right side crank grab i transfer my weight like this. right foot
only, both feet equally(while spinning cranks), right foot only. (then
reverse). happy landings. Nick

that's the thing, no real point to the "rolling crankflip"... however,
if you were going to do it and then jump straight to some kind of
wheelwalk or to hopping on the tire that would be cool. really cool.
