Crank Flip / Double Flip Help
I have been doing crank flips for a while on my DX and wanted to learn double flips. The problem is my flips have slowed down. When i first learned them I was spinning the really fast but now they have slowed down and i cant seem to get the speed back up. Has this happened to anyone else? What should i doo, any tips? Thanks.

Same thing happened to me, when I was first learning crankflips I was almost always overspinning them to just under a double flip. However, now that I'm consistent with crankflips my double flips just seem to get slower and slower the harder I try to flip them.

Its a combo or jumping, applying pressure(or kicking) with the front foot, and moving the feet out of they way. Its takes repetition. It takes repetition. After, what can be a looooong time for most people, you will get the feel for it. Its one of those things that makes little sence at first then all of a sudden its one simple motion. |

WOooOooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I couldn't give a shit.  I can flip the cranks fairly good now. I've been trying footplant crankflips. Any tips besides practice? Last edited by Danni; 2007-10-28 at 03:36 AM. |
