[foforackard]

kool. So what new tricks have you down, do you have the double hick, im still working on the double 180.

[foforackard]

treys, some rollfooting, weird tricks that are hard to explain, blind variations, and 180 backs.

cool, but why 2 hands when you crankflip?

[CKCrowe]

it was an old vid, that is how you learn them, that is how I doubleflip right now on my DX.
Untill you can flip them fast enough for one hand.

I seriously cannot crankflip one handed. the uni does'nt feel solid at all without two hands. Do you guys think it looks bad? It does'nt hold me back from anything so I don't think it's really a problem, unless it like totally looks horrible.

You and Forrest are the only ones I have seen flipping with two hands.
I don't like it looks horrible that way, I do think it looks better with one hand though.

Cool vid, you should film your more recent stuff.

I think you should learn to crankflip with one hand it does look better that way, I dont see why you would need to hold it with both hands.

I don't really see what the problem is. I think it looks better with two because some people tend to flail their free arm when flipping the cranks. My hands must be a lot smaller than you guys' cuz I can't get control of the uni. Believe me though, I would much rather do it like everyone else, but I've tried, and I can't, and I'm not gonna waste my time relearning tricks that I already know.

[Spencer Hochberg]

I don't think I would call improving techniques "relearning tricks." Maybe holding it one handed will help with future tricks, I don't really know.

[CKCrowe]

Yea, over time when you can flip the cranks faster we hold 1 hand.
Like my crankflips, It took me longer for 180 flips, because you need that extra hand to do the 180 hop twist.
the 2 hands give us better control of the uni, so we can flip it faster, untill we get old enough where our hands are huge.

Exactly.

Ya there are a few tricks that I'd be held back from two-handed, like 360 flips or 360 late flips. I understand what you guys are saying. Sorry if I came across kinda mean in the previous post.:o

I just thought that it couldnt be very hard to change your technique so you only flipped with one hand. I have always let go early with my spinning hand when I 360 unispin and someone said you should hold it all the way round, it took no time to re-learn it, although I still prefer to do it and to let go early.
