Crankflip

(Eli Brill) Tips

Brill School Ep5: Crankflips * toes on pedals Crankflip-1.png{ width="250" } Crankflip-2.png{ width="265" } * Stand up half rev before flip * Pull hard on saddle, lot of pressure * Flip is mostly about back foot, tap front pedal a little * Land back foot on pedal and front on crank for rolling out Crankflip.png{ width="375" } * For confidence, first land with one foot on crank * Also recommends zero plants

Jack Sebben Tips

Crankflip Tutorial * Master prereqs: * No footers -> revs -> zero plants (for technique) * aerials/no footers: no footer = tire off ground. * Build up to splits * rev/half rev * Try crankflips as half rev with one foot, removing back foot * Helps to ride moderately fast to get full rotation * Zero plants * Plant back foot on ground/elevated platform * Time swing of unicycle with rotation of pedal * Common issues: * Not flipping cranks * Not trying to go down and out while kicking cranks, making legs straight Crankflip-5.png{ width="250" } Crankflip-6.png{ width="300" } * Curve in to front foot for more snap * With 45 degree snapping position, equal pressure on pedals can still generate snap Crankflip-4.png{ width="375" } * Feet stuck to front pedal, not getting full rotation * Focus on kicking foot down and out * Look at your no-footers, should go out rather than up
