Well the front aerial looks low, my face is close to the ground, so tips for height would help.

And I'm not sure what wrong with the gainer.

I've been trying to get these moves for a long time. I need tips on them please.

kick harder with your gainer. you have to really commit and throw your body upward with the kick or...you'll do what you just did. can't help much with the "front aerial"

Also on the gainer... Throw your hands up a lot more. Right now, your hands aren't doing anything and it's dectracting from your height. Also, block a little harder on your j-step. Good luck!

You're relying too much on your padding. You're not trying hard enough to put yourself in the air and land the move.

Watch Dogen's center of gravity (http://www.dogentricks.com/index.php?s=tutorials) tutorial. The first thing you have to do in any trick is get your center of gravity as high as possible.

So what I'm getting is reach peak height COG, use arms more and commit more. OK anything for the front aerial?

the higher up you can bring your rear leg before jumping, the better your flip will be and the higher you will land. watch the center of gravity tutorial again. and again. and again.
