Very very bored, and coming home for the weekend, so I figure, why not give a street move a go? I'm guessing that hopping seat-out and doing it static would be a good way to start? then try and progress it to rolling and seat-in like it should be done?

I don't want to learn crankflips, just backflips. Tips'd be awesome thanks, and any pointers to show how the technique differs to how Shaun makes the crankflip out to be. Obviously since backflips, you need to sorta stop for a split-second between pedalling and putting the kick in.

Graci.

tips from the tricks inventor:
Step 1 change to plastic pedals this helped me out alot
Step 2 Learn to do a 1 footer, i cant give good tips on this i guess you kinda just have to do it
step 3 learn a no footer- the only tip i can give you for this is to pause a little bit before you do it so the cranks dont flip
Step 4 learn how to do a back half rev
Step 5 learn to do a 1 footed back half rev this sounds hard but if you can 1footer like what I told you to do in step 2 than its fairly simple
Step 6 Now its time for the tricky stuff. You want to do a back 180 crankflip now all you have to do for this is to do a back 1 footed half rev except take your other foot off.
step 7 once you have mstered that give it a little more push with your other foot and make sure the uni stays under you thats the hardest part.
