If any of you remember, I worked on these alot in April, two months ago. I got pretty close, but could never land it. (there 2 videos in my gallery of some attempts i had. One where i snapped a pedal in half, and popped my tire)
Well after taking a 2 month break, I tried them yesterday for about 30 minutes. I was unsuccessful and just ended up being really sore. I ended up trying again today, despite my soreness and finally landed it (after about a half hour). The video is below:
Nice Jeff. Not all the way full but close enough;) Mine weren’t full either.
Depends on the person. I think most people flip it forward dominantly. I know alex toms and brian lundgren learned backflips first. Alex also got the double back way before the double front.
Damn Jeff, thats great! Really nice work, I love the way as you land the tyre springs you up. Really nice, you have spent alot of time on these and as everyone says, you deserve it.
wow, that almost made me consider buying shorter cranks just for learning crankflips. lol. when I crankflip, the wheel only gets half way around, and then I land on my balls:(
Don’t. I used to do exactly what you are doing and your problem is not long cranks, its a really bad technique. If you had shorter cranks the same thing would happen since you don’t even know how to flip it yet. Just work on it more.
hmm is it just me, or has spencer answered every question toward me in this thread
Ya thanks for the comments everyone. Im really happy i finally got it (although quite sore). I think i might wait a bit before trying more. But when i do im going to try them on flatground.
Longer cranks are easier.
Tao = RF
Increase the radius with the same amount of force you increase tao (torque) will incase speed of spin. Now this is perabalic, since of course too long of cranks will have too long of a journey to kick it fast. But with 7inch or 5inch cranks, 7 are better.
