Corktuck??

[Cymatrelic]

I was sort of playing around yesterday a little bit and was wondering if this looks
like a corktuck (a really bad one)??

uh...


hahahaha where's the spin?

edit: cork= moonkick twist etc

I only see moonkick

[Bunghole]

a cork is that with an extra 360 spin (though im not sure where you got the name "corktuck?!"), what you're doing there is probably a little too off axis to be called a gainer flash, but you could make it into one by kicking more agresively and swinging your arms up and over

[poliver]

first two were low slant gainer flashes
last two were too bad and bkicky to be bad slant gainer flashes

[FatTricks]

Hey...that's my Slant gainer. I think of it as an aerial from a gainer takeoff.

Gaerial!

:tongue: :smile:
To be honest I have no idea what it was supposed to be. I just heard the word corktuck in a tutorial once and it sort of almost looked like what i was doing there, but not really. So the mexican guy thinks it could be a moonkick?? But if I would kick higher and more over my head it could be a gainer flash??

Well yes and no. A moonkick looks like a slant gainer except you throw a hook kick with the jumping leg. A slant gainer would be the same but without the hook. A GainerFlash would be going straight over with full inversion.
Don't feel bad though....cuz I can't do any of those. I CAN however do a straight gainer. Err....well at least I used to, I have'nt tried one in awhile.

:tongue: I wasn´t really expecting anything cool to come of it, I was just goofing around a bit. ;) I can´t do a normal gainer either. I just can´t get the rotation fast enough an always land on my knees.

So now I tried to transform it into a gainer flash, which looks VERY crapy at this point. What do you say?

that looks rly good! its more like a gainer, not a gainer flash.

I have been trying to transform my moonkick into a gflash for like a week or so, and i have it inverted like / <---that. Not fully inverted.

Cyma, can u do a backflip?

[Cymatrelic]

So Skullmyst Here´s a vid with me and all my backflips!!:tongue:

And you think my gainer flash, which is more like a gainer looks good???!!!
Cool, Thanks!!:smile:

Really like your wallflips and your roundoff backs.

In regards to the corktuck, here's many many pointers in specific order.

1. Invert it
2. Spin it 360 degrees

You swing your arms back prematurely.
