  1. Just thought I'd let you all know i'm in the race now. I fowards
    crankflip it, and i've nailed it off a curb, ohhh, lol. Not that big,
    but it was like 10 minutes after I hit my first one. So let's make it
    fun. I'm so happy, haha. Laters

  2. Thats tight shaun. So far i think the competitiors are

    Shaun
    Mike Clark
    Alex Toms
    Myself-Brian Lundgren

    So is the race just to see who can flip the biggest set? Or what?
    Cause if it is i believe mike is leading it with a 6 set.

  7. I don't crankflip and don't plan too, but if you want to contest it, go
    for the first to land a 540 crankflip, as well as the biggest set.

  10. is a 360 crankflip just one full rotation in air? Like jump, wheel does
    one full rotation, and you land?

  11. Sets are stairs..........a 6 set would be 6
    stairs........................

    a crankflip is not just jump and pedal then land,its jump,take your
    feet off the pedals,THEN the pedals spin 360,then you land your feet
    back on the pedals,then land on the ground.At least thats my
    impresion.

    I cant figure out how to do them ethier.I give up too easy,though.

  12. You're right on the steps in the crankflip. Jump, kick, airial, full
    rev, land back on. They're tricky, but i will have a clip of a few if
    you're interested tonigth. Just add me [email hidden]. ( I know
    i allready put that, lol, ohwell) Well i'm out to go practice. laters

    with as much practicing as you do you should be able to pull a 12 set
    flip.

    I've heard of people putting their feet to the frame and using that as
    a guide to land on the CRANKS and not the pedals for a more stable
    trick.

    Ha yeah, people used to call half flips 180 flips and full ones 360s
    but then people started spinning with the crankflips so the name got
    stolen.
