How does it feel? Like doing a backflip or frontflip or 540 or twirling in the air..? How does it feel, inside and outside? Do you like it, do you hate it? What does it feel most like, roller coasters? What do you look at? Do you "look"? Do you crave this feeling?

I've experienced my first feeling of absolute smoothness yesterday when I finally did some decent reverse gainer flashes. I've never gotten so much smooth airtime before haha. That definitely was a great feeling.

probably means those springy floors?
closest i get to feeling 'weightless' is on a bkick, and its good :D
Erm, i never look, i close my eyes...also it dosnt feel like anything, just feels like jumping.

you feel you landing, you don't really need to see it.
haha even if i try to keep my eyes open, things are moving so fast, i don't see what's happening anyway.. i need the aerial awareness to be able to land..

yeah, i agree that it just feels like jumping. running up walls is the only thing that gives me a floaty feeling. I'm glad i don't get butterflies in my stomach when i jump off stuff.

A really powerful j-step gainer flash/moonkick gets me that feeling of weightlessness, and it's one of the best feelings I've ever had.

well when i come outy of roundoffs i feel like im just being pulled downn
btwists well honestly everyhting just feel chaotic and pulling.... and i have high HIGH ass btwists its called gravity i dont know how u all get this nice floaty feeling but i want it ;P
i get it on roundoff backflips, when you really throw it and u can really feel the force trying to pull you out of your tuck, then you throw out a flash or something and land.. best feeling ever
but yeah i cant see till the very end when i spot the landing, unless its an aerial or somethin
actaully on second thought i get that floaty feeling on bkicks/aerials alot too

I get the nice floaty feeling on j-step gainers. I can't really see what's going on any move as I'm going up, but on the way down, I can see pretty clearly what's going on. Lol when I do 1080's I can't see jack.

lately I can actually see stuff when I backflip :tongue: .. Well not the above, but i guess that's because I passes by too fast. :eh:

The feeling of floating sets my mind free.
I see my crotch when I do a flip, and that's the way it's supposed to be.

even though its a simple move, the move that probably feels the best is a bkick (has to be high and floaty), i find you feel like gravity stops for a split second

I was just about to say that too, hehe
I might try one with my eyes closed if I remember and I'm up for it.

I dunno about that "levitated" feel, but for sheer smoothness it has to be a spin hook - raiz swing gflash :good:

I dunno, it's usually more of a rush than a smooth feeling. But on a tramp its quite nice.
