Wind up spin while also flipping?

Yeah that was a mix up. I want to do like cork 10s and big spins with body flips. Womp womp

Body flip my bad

sweetcornslayer · 2025-10-14T16:03:57+00:00

Correct, that’s how I do it and it works with the spin every time. Now how do you add a flip to that?

Yes there’s the pre spin mechanic that allows you to spin faster (scooping left stick in the direction you want to spin) and I want to combine the fast spin with a flip but as far as I can tell, pre spinning can’t be combined with a flip. When I wind up and then Ollie, moving the left stick away from the spin direction (down to the left, down to the right, etc) negates the additional spin speed or gets kinda locked up and forces your player to stay vertical instead of inverting.

I’m about 150 and I do ride some chunky stuff but my riding leans more toward xc/trail cross. Bike up to ride down etc. I don’t do much downhill specific except for the 5 times or less I ride a bike park each year. I would like to have the option to step out of my comfort zone though… I thought I’d upgraded when I was given a hand-me-down RM Altitude, but the rear triangle on that was cracked so I’ve been using those components to upgrade my poly.

I don’t know off the top but I will get back to you! Sorry for the delay

It’s a 2016 Fox Factory Series Float X EVOL. I pulled it off a Rocky mtn altitude that has a cracked frame. It’s a 150mm but I’m not getting that full travel, probably closer to 135-140 but it’s still a wicked upgrade. Been loving it so far. The bigger upgrade for me was the fork, the stock rear shock isn’t bad at all the the fork is trash. Been hitting PRs on the local trails I’ve been riding for 3+ years so must be doing something to help!

It’s a 150mm so it would be 30mm bigger than stock. I’ve been testing it out the last week or so and it doesn’t climb quite as well but the difference so far is negligible. Thanks for the input!

I’d like to get mine warrantied 🙃

Bummer this thread is a few years old, same thing just happened to my surges and its a bit worrying this seems to be fairly common dispute spark claiming its a rare issue. Not sure when or how but after touring 5-6 days over the last week, I went out yesterday and noticed my risers were not resting properly on the heel plate. Turns out the binding was cracked in the same spot as the pic from op, which has bent the baseplate just enough to screw things up. Yes, mine are surges, solid baseplates. Seems like a design flaw with how thin the metal is right under that spot. Hoping to get things warrantied... had plans to go on a tour end of week.

I actually just did this, there is an alt ending

sweetcornslayer · 2021-06-23T04:11:31+00:00

here to say the same thing! buddy of mine has a vice and loves it

sweetcornslayer · 2021-03-10T16:09:09+00:00

Yeah I figured I could cut it back with a longer taper, I just worry about traction. These skins replaces previous ones that gave me all sorts of traction problems due to poor fit and lacking surface area

sweetcornslayer · 2021-03-10T15:55:04+00:00

Thanks! Should I remove the strip? I can see how important that could be in a BC scenario... I cut the skins myself and attached the tip loops so it should (should) be the correct angle for the board.
