argh annoying problem

[GSimp]

Ok so I can twist just less than 1080 in the air. Whoopdy doo. However, whenevr I try to pop720, when I even start to throw my leg out for the kick, my spin stops and my body falls over to the side. I can spin and jump more than enough, but the kick destroys me. How do you reccommend I kick in this particular move?

I had this same problem for about 3 months this past year...About one or all of three things are happening to you: 1) you're leaning a little sideways as you're spinning, 2) you're kicking too early, and 3) you're spotting the target on each rotation, and your pumping one leg every 180-degrees...

I don't think that number 3 is happening to you, so I'd focus on 1 & 2.

Sometimes when people move into a vertical spin trick really fast, it causes their body to tilt to one side when they jump off the ground. This won't really stop your spin, but it will make your kick missfire. Instead of the kick coming out from the side of the target, it's going to come out pointing at the ground...which throw you off balance and you will fall.

Also, when you have a misconception about how fast you spin, it can make you kick too early in the technique. Slow it down, and get your timing for the 720...
