    As great a tutorial as it is, it doesn't seem to work well on me....

    I mount with my right and am more comfy starting off or static-mounting
    with my right foot facing back. However, I hop with my right in front.
    The problem is that the vid shows a right-first hopping but a
    left-first mount which I can't do at the moment.

    Any suggestion on how else to learn the crank flip?

    learn right facing forward. If it's comfortable hopping there, it will
    be best for kicking. Roll into it.

    Trying my best to impress. It seems that some people think that flips
    are becoming "trick spam". I just think it's a way to make old school
    easy street harder.

    Sorry, I don't quite get it. So if I'm kicking with my right, how would
    my posture be like throughout the flip?

    I'm pretty sure learning to crankflip comes AFTER learning how to mount
    a unicycle. Good luck.

    I can't left mount but I can right static/jump/regular mount perfect.
    Hopping's fine too.

    I've tried to improvise a bit but I couldn't lift the wheel after the
    hop for long enough to land on the pedals. Got a 20" today so hopefully
    it'd help. WHOOHOO 20"!
