Can you land a Double flip?

Phil_on_uni · 2011-08-07, 07:18 AM

I am curious to see how many of us out there are working on what are considered street trick and how many of us are actually using them.
I dont know about you guys, but i felt that the jump from a single flip to a double flip was significant. and applying it was yet another jump.

I just want to know how many of us on the forums are working on this discipline.

Erm...no.

Phil_on_uni · 2011-08-07, 07:30 AM

there is a poll..... its for science!

GILD · 2011-08-07, 02:07 PM

Do I look like Harper?

(don't answer that)

I voted.

SpaceFmK · 2011-08-07, 05:20 PM

Still can't land the single flip. Going to have to start working on them soon.. blah.

jaco_flans · 2011-08-07, 09:25 PM

I landed double flips yesterday

And the difference is huge, double flips are way cooler to do though. It's a really hard thing, but once you find how to flip it, it's awesome!

Unicaw89 · 2011-08-07, 09:54 PM

I entered both, I first landed it down a 3 set. Then learned em on flat.

surfer1024 · 2011-08-07, 10:37 PM

I can do it on flat and down stuff. My PR is a 5 set.

hey jaco, are you running the SIXSIXONE evo shin?

Liked your videos by the way, and i seen you "easy trials" what defines easy? hehe

the flip is way cooler, you can half ass a crank flip and keep your flipping foot on the pedal. Once you learn the double flip you can really add flair and take your feet away from the pedals.

I have the SixSixOne 4x4 shin pads. I like them alot, I've been riding these (same model but not the same pads) since I started trials unicycling about 4 years ago!

That video was named easy trials because it's all the trials I had in my area. It started to be pretty easy, but now I found some new lines around, these are still good to practice on though

That's what I really like about them!

I was learning to do some really slow and high crankflips to have that feeling.

EDIT: 2600th post!

Phil_on_uni · 2011-08-08, 06:06 PM

I agree with Jaco. The real skill for flipping comes out in the double flip.

unicycledood · 2011-08-08, 09:07 PM

Doubleflips can do done just as sloppy and half ass as a normal crankflip. Mastering a doubleflip, catching it early and landing cleanly as if it were a regular flip, now that's skill.

Phil_on_uni · 2011-08-09, 08:34 AM

I am saying that you can almost rev a cranks flip. but you cant accidentally do a double flip. Sloppy or not, the skill difference between a single and double is huge. and moving say, to triples. Its all fine tuning and perfecting the double to make it come about

unicycledood · 2011-08-09, 08:52 AM

Indeedly so. I've seen some preeeetty weird doubleflips tho haha
