Wow that was hot Dave! Very nice spin!
I would say it's landed, the kick is weak as you ofc know already!:smile:
Im looking forward to see some progression from u on that move!:good:

Sweet stuff man. Keep working that spin, with a touch more power it should be easier to get the kick out. Also try to get the hips in position for the kick, they still have to open out a bit like in a regular hook/crescent.

Dope dope, I like that you don't cheat your rotation to hell as seems to be the trend these days.

Main thing I would say is that you have to refine your setup and jump so that you dont go out so much and instead can focus on going upward. That used to kill me and is really frustrating because often times it leads to a painful crash (ie. missing the ground with your non-kicking leg... not that I've done that a million times or anything... o_0) Another thing that helped me with stabilizing a kick and all that good stuff was ripping through and spinning extra tight and all that, but also when I do get to where I need to kick, being aggressive about it and clearly putting down the landing gear so to speak and throwing my kick.

Keep in mind, while I can do it on both sides, it's by no means something I can throw down anytime and I'm probably not the best source, unfortunately the person I know that can throw that junk like it's nothing doesn't really do forums and all that :eh:

[Tatsumaru]

Whoa, nice spin man. When you're gonna get that kick out higher it's gonna be badass. Congratz :good:

I still suck at pop kicks :(

that isnt a 1080. The takeoff looks like a backside move.

[broertjetim]

why not try the backside 1080?

i'm sure you will land that one with ease

[jamesp]

btw i wasnt trying to beat dave, i just wanted to showcase some chris

[TKD_Andy]

no man i understand, but what chris did wasnt really a 1080, im not gonna get into the nitty gritty degrees blah blah of it, but im sure you know what i mean.

haha 1080s are a pain in the ass, i really cannot be bothered to learn them.

[shengoikee]

thanks for the tips! darius and ryan, really appreciate it guys. =)

awesome! im working on the other side now, although iv only done it "backside" from standing and that was mainly to benefit cheat10s. i do pops and cheats opposite directions so i guess im not fully "ambi" yet :agony:

id like to know who this 1080 guy is! do you have footage of him by any chance?

i dunno, i do those the opposite way and they dont impress me too much as stand-alone tricks. i just didnt really feel like id achieved much by doing it. really cool from combos though. :good:

[Kid Knuckles]
