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.

Maybe its the avatars.:smiley:

just wanted to point out how similar they are hahha. No help from me I cant double either.

Hows does one get the snap to get the cranks even flipping?

Repetition.

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.

Thanks man, I’m going to try it now.

Ok, just practiced for 30 minutes just flipping. It’s coming along! Thanks again!

wow your 1000 post

WOooOooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I couldn’t give a shit.:slight_smile:

I can flip the cranks fairly good now.
I’ve been trying footplant crankflips. Any tips besides practice?

Haha I got doubles today:D Just keep practicing and you will get the feel for it. Also doing it down a small drop helps heaps:) This is the way I have landed mine :sunglasses:

I have landed a double before but havnt realy tried since and feel it was mainly luck. The problem I have is not so much flipping it fast but getting my feet back on at the right time, I think I may go out and practice later.
