Tips on D-leg [VID INCLUDED]

[Spacey]

Hey everyone,

I recently started practicing the double leg now I want to know if I'm heading in the right direction or if I'm now close to a double leg at all and should completely revamp my technique.

Anyhow here is a clip

focus on turning your body around more (like you're trying to 360 gyro) and bringing your knees to your face with your legs straight.

think of it as a 360 crescent but with 2 legs, when u take off DO NOT HAVE UR BACK PARALLEL WITH THE GROUND BECAUSE U WONT GET SHIT FOR HEIGHT.

instead when u plant both ur legs ready for take off, throw ur hands and everything UP for height and then have both ur legs stuck together going in the motion of a 360 crescent and kick the ground.

I use to just jump up and bring my legs up then got lazy and just let my body do the rest of the work...if u kick the ground it allows u to land higher and makes the move a lot faster...

i dunno if that helped but thats how i do mine and they look fine to me.

most of the people who try doubleleg for their first time does it like a punch sideflip. but you dont! you actually spot your target and you torque really nice in your takeoff. you got the basic technique down really good, i dont think i can give much advices. well, it would be straighten your legs and all that, but that comes later when you get used to the movement.

oh yeah one thing, a small tip.
in your setup, you go right-[right-left]-jump, like you would in a punch dleg/sideflip. try to just run/walk fast into it (which would be left-right-left-jump) without doing any type of steps.
it really helps if you want it to look smooth and effortless.
