need alot of help (vid *google*)

[Flowers]

Ahhhhh I had what most would call a "suck ass" session the other night at the gym. I didn't get close to landing anything new, and my tricks just weren't coming out right.

Here's a list of stuff I'd appreciate tips on.

My butterfly twist. More specific, how can I come out of it comfortably.

My flash kick, How can I make it more of a kick instead of landing on one foot.

My rev gainer/gainer flash, which would be easier, flash or not? What else can I do to help get it.

My first combo attempt, How do I make transitions smoother.

My Scoot pop 720, that was my first attempt ever so any tips at all would be nice.

Webster, God i feel like I can't separate my legs enough. I can do front splits too.

Raiz's, Any tips on landing these higher and more comfortably.

Double back is a pretty simple tip, Stall higher and tuck tighter.

Double full, I find it so hard to bail out of these and land with whatever rotation you have.



Also I have added a little treat for those who actually spend the time to watch and comment. It involves Towlie banging his ass against hard cement carpet.


lol thanks for taking the time.

you look like ryan r from FF except your tricks are 56465132 times worse.

your 540 needs alot of work. read jujis tutorial. also, work on your setup alot, its not getting you any power. for flash, stick your hips our more before the kick, then suck them in as you throw your leg out to get that fast snappy kick.

you btwist is messed up because you arch your back when you go to land. it makes you look like a fish. don't do that. you'll only land comfortable when you can do the move properly.

combos come with practice. you should hold off on double tricks for now, especially because you're doing them on a trampoline. your raiz lack alot of power in the setup. work on the setup and trying to kick that first leg over your shoulder instead of sideways like a 540.

flashed gainers are easier if you can do them correctly. your scoot 720 looks like you were cheating the rotation and kicking way off balance. try and chamber, if you do it right, they look really cool and the kick comes off really clean.

[Garou]

Heh. That butterfly sweep kick would've actually been pretty cool with a few more adjustments, to be honest.

[poliver]

Hey i have same problem with a flashkick :D thanks for advice.

[Flowers]

Thanks man

Can you bkick towles? You seem to be twisting strait off the ground for your btwist and that's what's making your back arch, if you could bkick it'd make it easy for you to delay in your twist.

well, most people starting btwists have the problem of not kicking that back leg enough, but i think its too much like a bkick, to the point that hes still arching like you would in a bkick.

for your standing flash kick, dont whip your head back so soon, you still need to go up first and start the kick as soon as your feet leave the ground

[Alexx]

SWEET MAN !

scoot pop 720, kick a little later, and don't lean on it at all, thats how you fall off balance.

Backtuck, don't undertuck when you can be bothered, it'll force your legs like right under you and then you'll fall of balance like you did, plus you can tuck tighter in front of knees, only bother undertucking when ya can't be bothered to get around any other way :P

Flash: no jump at all, you can see that though, think of it like you gotta jump as high as possible, and get them hips up and then do a strong front kick out.

raizes are looking way better man !

when you 540, your looking over your shoulder while your still kicking, so it always looks pretty weird, i suggest standing opposite something you can spot at head height, and then turn and do you set up and when you jump, spot the target and kick as if your going to kick it, that should help. nice combo though, you aerial'd outta it nicely.

Kick the moon at 59 seconds, you got way too much distance, run in a bit more of a curve, and i bet you had a bit of a huge run up too, only limit it too about 3/4 steps, just kick a little more towards your shoulder if you can't get round enough at first.

Rev gainers i have no advice :P haha we'll get em soon, i'm gonna go for a hop into mine

Btwists 1.11 - 1.31 all of them are fishtwisty, maybe try and tense up a little more when you try them, k i think i've got it, have a wider base on them, spread your feet apart a lot more, you'll dip further and be able to hopefully straighten your back out . 1.33 Nice man !! i noticed you tried a different type of btwist and you landed a lot nicer ! shame that you can't dip as much with that set up, maybe think about trying a set up that you find comfortable between both.

double back you looked backwards straight away... but i'm not giving tips haha they scare the shit outta me, dont try big stuff like that if you've got a big session ahead of you, don't wanna hurt yourself for the session.

540 a lil better, i think you were spotting a bit more.

aerials, use your arms a bit more, kick up faster, harder, you just wanna make the landing a bit softer tbh your flexibility help a lot though which is great man :good:

k webster, you like twisted your arms like an aerial a little, you gotta use the jap lift technique, it'll help loads, you know the one where you swing your arms backwards ? that. and just tuck it man, you don't need to run into it as much.

cool man :good: take care mate.

[alpha7158]

keep your chest up in your 540, that includes the landing part.

[Jon P]

I am only gonna talk about your 540 since everyone alreayd covered everything else a lot.

Get a target or a pad that you can practice kicking. Have your friend hold the kicking target / pad and then drill tornados hitting the target. I have a feeling your tornado isnt even close to powerful / strong enough to be attempting 540s yet. Stop doing your little jump over one leg thing and kick the ground.
Learn how to actually kick, as if you are kicking a target.

[Matt R]

stop landing tricks then falling over its just plain annoying

you needd a better setup for gainer tricks

[Skilzat85X]

stop landing tricks then falling over its just plain annoying

Ha yea I was about to say. Is it necessary to fall over after every move ever? :smile:

Butterfly sweep is clever, I might even have to try that. Good show mate, I've never seen anyone do it before. You may have made a new cool move!

[Flowers]

Consider this, you can combo the butterfly sweep into a windmill.

I wasn't going to tell anyone that until I could get out and try it on a softer ground, but I'm uploading my attempt.

[shengoikee]

youv gotten some good advice here but i am gonna add this before anyone else says anything...

buttersweep was just a bailed btwist surely? how can you guys think that's cool?! haha

[Skilzat85X]

Because it has potential to become it's own move! And open up a crapload of cool looking combos.

Sure, that one looks crappy and bailed. But when I saw it I saw what it could have been. And I think with some fine tuning a good tricker could make it look good.

[Flowers]

Just wait till someone with sexier form comes and combo's it into a windmill step cork

EDIT: That would like like a dive bomb coin drop

There's an attempt in there. Tips on these moves too would be appreciated as well.

[White Nazgul]

Um... I'll comment only on stuff I do know about-
Raiz- start with your feet a bit further apart, dip down on your takeoff, kick that leg more UP to go vertical, arch your back and push your hips out and up.
540- CHANGE YOUR SET UP!!!! :O
webster- don't go so much forward... REACH forward with your upper body, but jump UP with your leg, swing the second leg UP too... and tuck.
aerial- why the FUCK don't you use your arms AT FUCKING ALL?!?! >:O

But there's a HUGE improvement man, way to go! ^__^

[shengoikee]

i dunno, it just seems like forcing a crouch which generally doesnt look cool even if it is on purpose. sweeps look best with the knee on/close to the floor but i can see that hurting if you landed directly on your knee haha

[Skilzat85X]

Hehe only time will tell.

Haha holy crap Towlie the raiz at the end of your last video is probably the best move I've seen you do ever.

[Flowers]

lol I felt some mild discomfort on the cement floor in my barn, but it still worked well enough. If someone with better technique than me could try this, especially on a mat or something, they could make it look really cool.


Tell me what you think shen.

this means alot to me man.

[TartanPajamas]

Your flash is on the right trak, just need more power.

You need to set more on your double backflip.

[Flowers]

I just made a sampler, but it's still uploading.

[TartanPajamas]

Cool!
