Crankflip
(Eli Brill) Tips¶
* toes on pedals
{ width="250" }
{ 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
{ width="375" }
* For confidence, first land with one foot on crank
* Also recommends zero plants
Jack Sebben Tips¶
* 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
{ width="250" }
{ width="300" }
* Curve in to front foot for more snap
* With 45 degree snapping position, equal pressure on pedals can still generate snap
{ 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
