Crankflips

No one has any experience with this? Cmon, guys..... No one on here does crankflips much besides Sunday?

All I see when I hear crankflips is shinners. I like my chaintight too , shit shouldn't be like a prostitutes vagina slapping that chainstay , keep that shit tight !

Well it was a statement haha what exactly are you asking? How tight you should run your chain?

I ran mine pretty loose when I was first learning them, loose enough that it occasionally chinked my chainstay landing from something big, but not so loose than it could be pulled off the sprocket. Before that I ran my chain pretty tight.

Nowadays I still run my chain fairly loose, but definitely tighter than it used to be. I like it being slightly loose so that I know it'll spin around freely. Too loose that it spins really fast doesn't bother me honestly. My foot catches it in the air when it comes back around like that's its job haha

That's my problem. Right after I kick it, my feet are totally like whatever and it's by luck sometimes. Of course, your front foot goes on first so I tried to spot it today and it kinda helped, but it's not much.

I mean, with loose cranks, I have more of a tendency to accidentally kick it too hard or whatever. I can never just tap the cranks and follow through with the whole thing looking clean and legit.

Try doing them without hopping first, just kick the cranks & figure out how to catch them. I don't remember how I learned that, guess it just kinda came with doing them so much. Just try them without bunnyhopping to figure them out first.

Them to dial them in, do them EVERYWHERE. And I mean everywhere, when I was learning them they were such a fun trick so I dialed them in pretty quick by doing them wherever I was & on the way there.. Up curbs, down curbs, randomly on flat.
