  1. I've had a few tips already but I just wanted to get a general selection
    of tips on how to Hickflip.
    If any of you have come across things that helped when you were
    learning or problems that arised and how you over came them, stick them
    down here and they will be very much appreciated.

    doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.

  5. Try to do the crankflip part first, then the unispin. It is all one
    motion but that is how I think of it. Push down with your front foot as
    you begin to spin it. I have seen Alex Toms do them where it looks like
    a normal flip with a late unispin, it just doesn't work the other way
    around. It takes a lot of practice to get a feel for them.

  6. Hi,

    To feel the flip, it is a good thing to work on sif crankflips.
    Spencer is right, you have to concentrate on the flip before throwing
    the spin.

  7. thanks for the help so far guys. Does anyone have a link to the street
    unicyclopedia. I remember a while back Alex Toms did some vids along
    with a description of the trick.
    If anyone knows it, stick it down,

    Cheers,

    Jas

  8. No worries I found it, Alex Toms is so smooth in all the tricks he does,
    he jumps so high for unispins and flips!

    Anymore tips?

    Jas

    Its basically the same, it is easier to hold the seat with two hands
    and get a good grip on it.
