Here's how the two moves are coming along.

Here's the Arabian. (I get too much momentum and have to roll out of it) I wanna fix that.

and here's my standing flash. I wish I could land and stay on that one foot longer.

You probably have much nicer kicks than me. I'm still working on getting a 540. I need the flips and tumbling for cheer so I tend to work that area more.

okay like heres on thing i know.. the first trick i ever landed period was a standing arabian.. your not doing an arabian .. your doing an off axis half twist arabian cross but half twist alone looks cooler... and arabian alone looks cooler.. the move combines doesnt look cool.. the arabian is a (from roundoff or standing this doesnt count some sissy running cartwheel round off combination..) one hundred and eighty degree spin, then a completely perfect axis front flip..( clearly nothing is perfect so dont get into that with me) you want to tuck tight on an arabian although u dont have too it makes it look like an arabian if you do.. there is no way to mess this move up period , think of it as a front tuck not an arabian, just a front tuck were u one eighty before it, also your not rolling forward because you have to much momentum.. because your still landing low, if u tried to land standing you would not fall forward

arabian:

you go around the side. Come out of the roundoff standing tall and get your arms up. Once you've left the ground, the arm in the direction of the twist should go back to pull you around to face the other way, and the other arm should follow and kind of go over the top. Once you have squared up the 180 degree rotation, tuck.

standing flash

whip it more and it'll look better. Don't forget to jump, but really throw the arms and push the hips out.

Thanks.

I always had a problem with getting the 180 down before the front flip. But I think if I go into thinking it's a normal front tuck it should be easier.
