A 540?

[<|maestro|>]

So i'm new to tricking and im working to improve my 540 and you know that stuff:eh:

BUT when i try the 540 my kicking leg just won't go across and land.
It always turns out to be a tornado(kick).
As for prequisites my tornado kick is IMO very good...no problem with jumping, keeping my eyes on the target, stretching out the leg, or anything else in fact.
But i just can't land(really)on my kicking leg...:dead:

Can you guys give me some advice? Is it because i'm not jumping high enough? ...or not getting enough momentum to take the leg through?

edit* OK... i don't think im NOT jumping high enough...or am I? It sounds a bit too weird to be a reason.

What he said.

bend your left leg (or whichever is your lead leg) and then kick your right leg as hard as you can...do NOT drop your left leg down no matter what...even if you'll fall to the ground. Keep trying that, and you'll get your right leg to land first.

- Throw left leg (or lead leg) up as high as you can (bending it gives you more time to get your right leg over)
- Keep the left leg tucked as the right leg is kicking

Don't TRY to land on one leg, just make your tornado kick fast and powerful over time.

Trust, you'll have a better looking 540 then you would do if you FORCED it out.

do more and more tornado kicks, and look for the best takeoff you can find. Also, make sure you UNDERSTAND the trick, not just do it!!

Why is he doing that? how does he kick so fast? How does he jump so high? why is his arms like that?

ANALYZE!!
