no problem :good:

i had similar issues going from cartwheel-fflip to masterswipe fflip, but it all comes with time.

landing your aerial with your feet closer together helps aswell

my prob with cartwheel fronts is that after cartwheelin, i somehow don't get to block, so i kinda just jump forward...and the front tuck is like 2 cm high...
how can i gain height?
ha well, by blocking, i know, but thats easier said than done...^^

Ah ha! The putting my head down was what was getting me... I thought it was my hands, but it was my head.

Hm, my landing on that trick is so damn hard. What can I improve to make the landing smoother?

ah this one, the catch is not to tuck like a backflip, especially if you can roundoff backflip already. you're meant to lift your legs up to the side up to the front, i've seen some ppl trying to do this move and end up not bringing their legs out enough, good luck!
