I’ve had a few tips already but I just wanted to get a general selection of tips on how to Hickflip.
If any of you have come across things that helped when you were learning or problems that arised and how you over came them, stick them down here and they will be very much appreciated.

Try to do the crankflip part first, then the unispin. It is all one motion but that is how I think of it. Push down with your front foot as you begin to spin it. I have seen Alex Toms do them where it looks like a normal flip with a late unispin, it just doesn’t work the other way around. It takes a lot of practice to get a feel for them.
Hi,
To feel the flip, it is a good thing to work on sif crankflips.
Spencer is right, you have to concentrate on the flip before throwing the spin.

thanks for the help so far guys. Does anyone have a link to the street unicyclopedia. I remember a while back Alex Toms did some vids along with a description of the trick.
If anyone knows it, stick it down,
Cheers,
Jas
No worries I found it, Alex Toms is so smooth in all the tricks he does, he jumps so high for unispins and flips!
Anymore tips?
Jas
well, I’ve tried practising but I still feel I need a few tips. What is the best way to go about doing a seat out flip?
Any and all tips will be appreciated, keep em coming.
Jas
Its basically the same, it is easier to hold the seat with two hands and get a good grip on it.
