cartwheel-full pratise

[broertjetim]

hey guys, i'm getting close to this move, the only problem i find is that i can't land with my chest high, i mean, i drill my head into the ground, why is that? :

[poliver]

try to land with both legs at the same time after cartwheel and maybe a little tuck would help also. having cart-front would help too

[broertjetim]

i whas thinking about looking to my toes when jumping, that way i'll go straight up instead of forward, but i don't know for sure

[JCslug]

you need speed dude. you arent getting enough momentum

[Andy Longcat]

that looks so weird!

[broertjetim]

it's a pretty standard trickster cartwheel-full, maybe a lil more inversion :p

[poliver]

try cartwheel like some sorta sideways roundoff
you can also try to lose flexibility so you can land on both legs at the same time after cartwheel :P

[FatTricks]

I need to get me one of those for sure!!!!!!!!

*sighs*

[broertjetim]

dude, i first want to see your hyperswipe that you also wanted :p

@ Poliver: thx, i'll try the sideways roundoff thing.

[FatTricks]

dude, i first want to see your hyperswipe that you also wanted :p


True.
*shrugs shoulders*
BUT I WANT IT ALL!!!!!

I tried an Atwist today. Not too bad. I had to put my hands down, but I got around alright I guess for a first try. There's only one little problem.
I don't know how to aerial. I mean, I can 'trickster' aerial, but not the 'gymnast' kind. Does this matter much?

[broertjetim]

yes, you need a perfect aerial imo to have a nice atwist

[broertjetim]

how do you mean, explain plz :)
don't know for sure what you mean...

[rocketbaz]

eehm.. you see when you lift and are going for your twist, you want to change direction and almost change position with your head and feet... kinda

[broertjetim]

keep my shin to my chest and look to my toes would help?

[TKD_Andy]

GARGH!

DO NOT DO A SIDEWAYS ROUNDOFF FOR THIS MOVE!!

you dont need to do it at all! Doing a cartwheel means you can exectue the technique properly, a cartwheel is also ALOT faster than a roundoff and carries WAY more momentum in the right way for this move.

heres a gif of mine.

haha, that squiggly line diagram actually made perfect sense to me! :punched:

[rocketbaz]

dont know about the toes-watching thingy but yeah i think that keeping your shin to chest would help...

[rocketbaz]

NO! DO NOT DO THIS. DO NOT DO THIS AT ALL!

gaaaaaaaaargh dont change it to a roundoff just to make it easier :bad:

So true. that is the BEST way of DESTROYING a cart!!!:dead:

[TKD_Andy]

i updated my original post :good:

[rocketbaz]

nice, thats what i mean in my paint drawing xD

[broertjetim]

ok when comparing that to mine, TKD andy

i need lots more height!

[TKD_Andy]

you get aall the height from the cartwheel.

try and split the legs as much as you can and do the cartwheel AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

ive got a couple of other tips but i have to go and get the train to go trick with shengoikee and pete_man_man so i havent got time! PM me later and ill send them to you :good:

[broertjetim]

i will do that :)

good luck on your session

[Matt R]

land your CARTWHEEL so that you are facing the direction you came from, not side on

[broertjetim]

that makes sense !!! thx nice twist double leg btw :)
