yesterday i was trying some crankflips off of a manual pad that was pretty small. one the last one i tried the unicycle bounced out from under me and a little to the left. i reached out to grab it out of instinct and the plastic bumper on the back hit the bone at the base of my thumb. for some reason it hurt like heck. my hand is kind of sore today but i hope it wont be a problem. I'm hoping to get to the skate park today to try a 2-flat-2 gap that i have been eying. -- thornton -Tyler Thornton)---'O, Crankflip Change shape to fit, in the end you just feel sick.

Do you (plural) think that crankflips might be easier to learn off a small drop, because you have more time in the air? Also, I hop to the left with my left foot back holding the seat with my right hand...which is weird. Most people hop to the direction of their front foot, and hold the seat with the hand of their back foot. It makes pedal grabs difficult, and I was wondering if anyone thinks this orientation will make grinds, crankflips or anything harder. -- James_Potter i still believe that all you need is love...john lennon '*mikael atkinson*' (http://tinyurl.com/dk2de) mdotedotatkinsonatgmaildotcom President of the 'MRIS' (http://tinyurl.com/dk2de) *♥ Unicycle For Peace ♥* _____________________________________________ -last edited by skrobo : today at 11:41 am.- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James_Potter's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3807 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61016 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

i hop goofy too.. to the side that my left foot is cuse it is back..idk if it makes pedal grabs harder..i cant really do them.. it makes grinding harder so i got to grind goofy..i guess it coud make certain stalls harder since u dont have any pressure that is forward..instead u are leaning backwards..thats why the grind were harder with my left crank back.. -- Uniman_3 Words are made to strike the minds of the unsuspecting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Uniman_3's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14387 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61016 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Right foot forward (left foot back), right hand on the seat, and to the left. So when I ride trials I pedal grab with my left (back) foot. I actually find back foot pedal grabs easier then ones with your front foot. Originally I would hold the seat with my right hand and hop to the right and I learned pedal grabs with my front foot but they were awkward so I switch to hopping to the left. I grind better with my front crank. Flips and unispin flip variations more depend on your unispin/hop twist direction. I haven't had too many problems with them. I'd like to see more people doing switch flip tricks. I plan to start hitting them down some sets soon (injured right now). -- skate4flip reply '23k' (http://tinyurl.com/88s7x), '25k' (http://tinyurl.com/bqzo4), post '29k' (http://tinyurl.com/ay6w2), reply '37k' (http://tinyurl.com/dzug6), post '41k' (http://tinyurl.com/9ugos), post '47k' (http://tinyurl.com/dmr8y), and reply '61k' (http://tinyurl.com/mds6t) in most replys!!!

For pedal grabs I do them a special way, in which I land on my back pedal but then while balanced on the pedal on the ledge, I pull the unicycle up in back so the left pedal is now forwards, then as I jump on to the ledge I spin the wheel half a revolution in the air and land left foot back again...it's actually not hard at all, it's really pretty easy actually. -- James_Potter i still believe that all you need is love...john lennon '*mikael atkinson*' (http://tinyurl.com/dk2de) mdotedotatkinsonatgmaildotcom President of the 'MRIS' (http://tinyurl.com/dk2de) *♥ Unicycle For Peace ♥* _____________________________________________ -last edited by skrobo : today at 11:41 am.- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James_Potter's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3807 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61016 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I just got fifth flips! hmm I don't hurt my feet much on big sets, make sure that you don't land stiff leggedly or you will injure your ankles and balls of your feet, and possibly your shins. the street I like is basically rolling trials w/ some grabs and stuff mixed in. i like big stairsets, i need to find one that is a challenge to clear, but not impossible by any means. I can do an 8 set w/o any discomfort whatsoever. its just how often you do it. you get used to these things. I want to do something impossible, or so you thought, that is my goal for unicycling i saw the most insane gap/drop today I'm doing it next time I go downtown in the daylight. its about 10-12 feet across and about the same down(depending on which part I do). -- skrobo Unicycle For Christ 'my video!'
