Well ok when I do like a front flip on the trampoline or whatever, for some reason my knees always seem kind of.. wobbly - like I cn really easily just knee myself in the lip, which I've actually done several times :eh: lol
So now I have this really bad habit of tilting my head to one side so I don't knee myself in the face, which I can't actually stop doing! What the hell is wrong with my tucking?!
EDIT: I can probably get a video of it if you want..!

dont do it on trampolines...they give you bad habits. you're gonna have to just practice and drill a lot and a lot to get out of that habit...habits are very hard to break...thats why i dont use tramps...

^^^ I hate the way that looks! It does supposedly make you spin faster, and of course will eliminate this problem.. but my god it looks gay.

Yeah I don't like the way it looks either, but I think it should elimininate the problem - firstly there'll be no possibility I can knee myself, and secondly I wouldn't be able to put my head to the side anyway! Thanks a lot guys.. I'll try that..

Ok I've discovered my actual problem - I'm doing a parkour roll in mid air :S
Even when I really focus I do it anyway! I've tried doing a normal roll, them build up, but when I actually get to the stage where I'm doing the actual flip, I convert back into parkour rolling!
Ahhhh! Please help!

Trampoline doesn't necessarily build bad habits if you excercise good technique. Trampolining is a safe way to test your tricking theories without hurting yourself. I train looooooooads of my tricks on trampoline, and believe me it works.
