  1. i know this is dumb but when i searched i couldnt get the right amount
    of help. heres my first issue ive been practicing them for like a month
    now and still havent landed one. it also feels like im not progresing.
    has anyone had this problem? also my front foot never lands on the
    pedal but my back foot lands perfectly every time! so all im asking is
    maybe for a little motivation. also anyone know how to fix my problem.
    ohh yah i can foot plant crankflip.

  2. If you're front foot lands on the ground every time, you are likely not
    committing to the trick. Make sure you are jumping up after doing the
    flip and not just placing your foot on the ground. I'd suggest lowering
    your seat as much as possible (just for the first few you land), and
    force yourself to land on the uni. You just have to go for it.

    If you could post a video of some attempts, I'd probably be able to
    help out more.

  3. Just keep at it and "tell" yourself to bring your front foot in or to
    keep it forward.
    If you keep landing your back foot your almost there. Good luck

    You can foot plant crankflip? I still cant do that, I can crankflip a
    5set, hick and 180flip but I never learnt foot plant crankflip 🙁 I
    might go try it now.

  5. Lean forward right as you do the flip. Not too much, but youll find the
    point. This will keep you above the uni and then you jsut need to plant
    your feet on the pedals.

    Your already really close, now you need to commit to it. You wont get
    hurt if you land it.
