Video: I finally landed a doubleflip!

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:

Edit: If i counted right, I am the 10th to get this.

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.

I'm so jealous. Great job though.


Is it easier crankflipping waith shorter cranks(like 125's)? or longer?

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.

this thread:rolleyes: :)

Ya thanks for the comments everyone. Im really happy i finally got it

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.

FLIP IT... Twice

If you hit it first try, it's not hard enough.
