Re: stuck a few doubleflips (with video)....need some help

[litldude2]

You are pretty close, alot closer than me at least, I think I'll
practice some more after I get my hickflips consistant.
As for tips, there are probably only like 3 people on the forums that
can land the double...Other than the obvious answers like hop higher,
push harder or get more pallets I think if you practice enough then you
will be able to get the rest of the second flip in.
Alex Toms told me that its really a 2 footed trick, push down, out and
back with the front foot and kick the back foot up and forward to get
it to spin faster. Maybe attempt it on a quarter pipe because it seems
like thats how most people learn them.

If you landed one of those (like you are 1 and 3/4 spins) I would say
that was a double. Some peoples crankflips are 3/4 of the way round
and they are still called flips. Land one, and you will have landed a
double.

[edit] your also twisting in the air slightly.

ahh. well today i tried some more off a bench with pallets underneath
(and a rug to keep my tire from slipping). *I ended up snapping my
pedal in half and popping my tire*. ahh. i think i might take a little
break from these. I did get the fall on video. I understand why my
pedal broke (i cracked it yesterday), but i have no idea why the tire
popped. maybe some else can tell? anyone here it is:
