Ok guys this is really pissing me off now:p. I cant 540 kick or c720. It sucks. My general kicks are pretty good through martial arts training, But we never do jumping kicks etc.. My 540 kicks are coming along nicely, Just need to nail the landing, the kick is coming through high and fast just cant land it:( any tips. I dont have videos sorry, I usually use my mates Camera buthes been away lately. And also I cant at all get round for c720, The furthest I can rotate whilst even thiking about bring out the outside cresent/hook is 360.

Any tips on rotation and pumping (cvause I dont really understand it ) would be awsome. I think its the problem with my 540 kicks aswell. Kick is good rotation/height is poor, My avatar shows my old 540 kick, but my new ones are the same only moved on to grass. Please help

Thanks in advanced

Videos are pretty much essential because that way we can see exactly what's wrong. Your avatar only shows a fraction of the trick.
Anyways, pumping is when you lift alternating legs as you do the cheat720, if you kick with your leg it'd be left up-right up- left up and then you'd kick.

Think of this when trying the c720 it helped me a whole lot.

Go into it like a normal 540 set up, but when you jump, just jump up and let the non-kicking leg carry you (this should be a very light turning speed). Once you stall in the air, wrap your arms in and you will spin so gracefully over and open up for the kick.

Bottom line, try to think of stalling then wrapping.

If the person in your avatar is you, then i dont understand your problem with the 540 (practise though). As for the c720, its a hard move. You need practice to obtain it otherwise your lost. You cant expect everything to fall in your lap without working for it hard. I find it good to practise spining around more and more in the air. Doing one spin, then one and a half, then two. But it does take up a lot of practic, depending on what type of a tricker you are.
