You will have to. But just remember, one man's trash is another man's treasure... Oh, wait.. wrong motivational quote..

What I meant was, the best things come to those who wait.. yeah, thats it.

Nice editing too, makes it more enjoyable to watch.

Wow, a double down a five? Great.. Very impressed with the hick doubles.. You picked those up quick. Wasn't it like 3 months ago when you learned to hickflip? Wow.

me too...or at least my skills are. i try street but just suck at it...but in decent(ish) at trials.

really nice video. i liked how i could see what the uni was doing rather than in most vids where so much is going on i have no idea:p

Very nice Indeed. You are improving very fast. Your style is also building up pretty nicely.

Same thing happened to me with vimeo when I tried to upload my stack it up. Said it had uploaded but I couldn't actually view it till the next day.

They will never find me
2008-06-12, 12:43 AM
Nice video, I really like the way you do crank flips. They don't look like you're forcing them, all the other videos I see it looks like they're being forced, your's just kind of flow out.

540s are bitches eh? Theres no painless way to learn them. Well, at your level nothing should be painless anymore lol. Cool video I spose. Show cases your flips nicely. The double down the 4 was impressive.

But to me its just another flip vid. I like creativity.

I'm imagining what you might do with some of those set lines in the future. Looked like a good place to ride.

Definitely your best vid yet especially because I filmed most of It. JK your the one with all the talent
you really did a great job editing this one as far as im concerned. All the clips really came together to make one great vid.

I actually think it looks cool when flips look forced... The ones that flow out kinda annoy me(no offense). It's almost as if you aren't really doing the trick lol.

i agree with pele, flips looks sick when you can catch them early, but i use to flip like you too.

anyways, amazing vid, you've gotten a lot better man. I loved the first stair set line with the flip up and fakie flip out.

nice vid,


fyi, you might have aids from those pennies

I am jealous of the flips but not a big fan of the hat. I am at almost the exact same point on the 540s though. They are a word that you understand that is not very friendly. Keep it up though.

Really tricky argument. I love flow and smoothness. But then again I love GRRRR. I love grunty fast paced flips. Krisz vs Luke kinda thing.

Yea I definatly agree with you there, maybe that is why I have moved towards trials. I like what luke does (and alot of your lines), very creative and far better to watch (no offence surfer). I think he is very lucky to have alot of great places to ride, unlike some.

Really tricky argument. I love flow and smoothness. But then again I love GRRRR. I love grunty fast paced flips. Krisz vs Luke kinda thing.
Flips down sets definatly need to be done fast with a pop at the top as if you were doing it on flat. That way they can be caught early and look sweet. I think it is alot easier that way, works well for me. It seems when you can catch them early the landings easier and taking them off bigger sets is easier because you just do exactly the same pretty much.

unicycledood
2008-06-12, 06:37 AM
Yeah, once you can catch them early you dont have to worry about "over flipping" which alot of people have trouble with when trying bigger sets.

2008-06-12, 04:39 PM
Thanks for the comments guys, I have been trying to catch flips early but i'm not quite getting it yet. Any tips?


Edit:

But only one S-X change (lol) I love the look of them and varial flips (where were they?)...


There wasn't any sex changes and there was a varial flip at 40 secs

Instead off rolling off the top of the set and letting the wheel rotate, pop up and flip like you would on flat. Because you are in the air for longer your pedals will come around before you hit the ground and you can catch them early. The more you pop and the higher you hop the closer to the top of the set you can catch it. Just tell yourself to pop and jump. It shouldnt take long to get and I found once I got it I was able to land them alot more consistantly and down bigger sets.

...The more you pop and the higher you hop the closer to the top...

They are just teasing him about it.

Nice vid. You had some flowy lines in there.
I loved the hickflip down the (3?) and the Double flip up the curb to the treyflip down.. Good luck on 540's!
