    I have started unicycling a year ago, and although my trials and muni is
    getting okay, I have a few questions. I would have posted this on the
    tutorial section, but people said I would have more responses here.

    1. I am have trouble ww. I can do 3-4 strokes, before I fall off. I
    have practiced, but I always seem to fall forwards.
    2. Can rolling sif be done? Is it effective?
    3. I've seen president lukes vid, and he did a kind of crankflip, but
    he still had his feet on the pedals what is this called? I can do a
    half revolution, almost a 270, but I can't get a full rotation. I would
    have looked this up, but I didn't know the name of the trick
    4. I have 145 profiles, and I would like to learn how to crankflip.
    Would the length of my cranks cause difficulties to learn to
    crankflip?
    5. How long does it take on average to crankflip?
    6. I want to get my frame and cranks powder coated silver, how much
    would this cost?

    Any help would be great!
    Thanks a lot!

    Daniel

    1. practice practice practice. maybe lightly touching a wall/fence
    while WWing to help you get the feel of it? arch your back forwards a
    little, if your not already.

    2. Zack Baldwin rolling hops 180 SIF onto picnic tables

    3. It's called a rotater, or rev. It's not a crankflip since the cranks
    don't... flip.

    4. short cranks can help, but LOTS of people have learned crankflips on
    140 or 145's. Shaun J. has done triple flips on 145's, and Tomsey has
    done double backs on 145's.

    5. I'll tell you whenever I get around to acctually learning them.🙂
