how can ya guys look at the ground all the way through?

[Skilzat85X]

You can't.

[Snake]

how can ya guys look at the ground all the way through?

Try stepping off like a webster, by pointing your foot forward then try to look at the ground while in the air. Not a bad attempt at all :wink:

He's not dipping...and that's what's happening to him lol.

[TKD_Andy]

haha i should probably watch the video...

but i just wanted to stop him from dipping before he does :good:

*edit after watching*

lol, it just looks like he's not really putting much effort in tbh.

[Skilzat85X]

True haha.

He needs to dip, but just to jump. Just like everybody dips before they do a vertical leap. The only thing with the dip is most people don't think to lift themselves back up from the dip, they just uhh, go down and stay there lol.

ehh cuz im nto sure if im doing it right so i dont wanna practice it like that then find out im doing it wrong and have to break tons of habits. But thats about how it looks if i try anyways except maybe with out the stumble at the end.

[TKD_Andy]

you need to commit 100% or you're not going to get anywhere, its as simple as that man.

keep at them :good:

Thank you williamt

[Devious]

I don't think you really want to dip your hips lol. Maybe just a little bit, but keep your legs slightly bent before launching into the move, and lower your chest more. =)

[Charles B]

ya... you dont dip your hips... just your upper body

just like butterfly twist... it helps you get higher/more horizontal

[JKT]

Check Kaz's tut!!

[Kalvin]

Ok i just got some Better Raiz attempts on film, i dipped more yadda yadda, think they look a lot better then before.. will post video when it starts showing up on youtube!

more tips would be awesome.

[Charles B]

that was better... i like to do them from a wheel kick to get more power.

keep drilling it, and work on getting it higher

[WilliamT]

haha dude It doesn't even look like you're trying.

I'll post something helpful in an hour or so.

is that a good thing? lol does that mean it looks half way decent without me trying : D?

Am i dipping better?

[Skilzat85X]

That was better, but after the dip you have to lift your chest or upper body up more.

Also, pull your leg up HARDER! HARD!

[WilliamT]

well the dip was better. but what I'm saying is it's not looking like you're putting in full effort. your moving kind of slowly and the move lacked power and speed. remember in my pic my arms were all blurry, that's because I'm forcing my way up with all of my strength and whipping myself around(not just because my camera sucks).

tips won't really help until you fix that but heres some any way:

-keep your chest open when you're in the air. try to push your shoulders together behind your spine.
-on takeoff turn your chest to face the sky and throw your lifting leg straight up.
end of tips.
