what is easyer? crank flips or unispins?

I would say unispins are easier.

Just find the way the feels right to spin the uni, I spin to my right,
others go to their left. There a few different hand positions, mainly
two, so find which one feels best for you.

I recommend shin guards.

There's lots of guides on here on how to do them, but really all it is,
is jump off the uni (no footer pretty much) spin the uni, then land
back on the uni. You dont even need to bring the uni off the ground,
but you should probably learn how to do both ways.

Unispins are much easier. I've learnt to 360 unispin long time ago and I
still can't crankflip.

There are lots of great tutorials about. Just search.

For me crankflips are, if not the hardest, then the most frustrating
trick I've learned.

Unispins are easier. 360 unispins are easier. 540 unispins are easier.

I would say crankflips are easier and less frustrating but I think you
should learn unispins first. If you want a tutorial to watch I made one
a while ago. 'Click here' (

hope it helps, good luck.

I've never tried a crankflip, but it's pretty obvious to me that
unispins are easier *on the shins.* Got shinguards or leg armor? 🙂

Beyond that, there's no reason to learn tricks in their believed order
of difficulty. Some people learn really hard stuff while ignoring
relatively easy stuff. Practice the stuff you want to do.

I would say crankflips are alot easier on the shins, ankles however, if
you get a crankflip wrong you can land badly on your foot and hurt your
ankle pretty bad although thats only been when Iv been doing them up or
down things.

I'd say crankflips are harder to learn but take less effort once you've
learned them. Crankflips are also easier to do up and down obstacles.

I 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

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

Unless you really dig new-school riding, I wouldn't even recomend
learning crankflips. They'll reek havok with te uni later on...
