some hyper720 improvements

[shengoikee]

i realised id not really done any kicks for ages haha. especially these.

a few clips from today trying to improve em: hyper720, a couple where i lift/pump my non-kicking knee up and try another pop kick/dleg (FAAAIL), the last few are (bad) 720dleg attempts....

NOICE! Sweet dude, is it because you're laying back a little further now. Cuz it seems like it to me. Or I could just be imagining things.

[Matt R]

ahhh you have this "target spoting " technique perfect ghaha i must learn.


i have no advice haha but the 4th one was really sick!

well im kinda imagining more of a pump on the way round and i spot my target. so the second spin is much faster. the one's that look a lil layed back i was trying to squeeze my knees together for a dleg haha.... i suck at that. i'll maybe work on hyper9s some more i think - they've helped with the hyper7s too.

iv really not tried these in forever haha. happy they've clicked again though.

edit: thanks both of you =D

that last one i was getting frustrated so i just tried to single leg ahaha

[Siphin]

kick ur left leg instead and make it a pop 900 lol

it would be a 720 feilong, you should know better than anyone

Shengoikee, your hyper 720 looks amazing!

[shengoikee]

pop900s are about 10 times easier ahaha :wink:

im working on hypering some 9s so i can own andy ward once again. how dare he bite off my style.

[Skilzat85X]

Awwwesome! Gog og go go go!

I must steal your pop spin kick technique.

[shengoikee]

NO! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED!!! hahaha

andy ward already did this :agony: now he pwns me at pop hyper kicks....

i might make a tutorial including a bunch of pop kicks once iv a good clip of a hyper900. my technique isnt too complicated, i just practice pop kicks a lot because i suck at every other trick ahaha


thanks a lot guys

[Skilzat85X]

I just like your takeoff and the way you spot the target and still manage to spin. I always try to spot the target like with my whole body by stalling the spin and then trying to wrap my entire body from head to hips into the spin lol. What fools talk!

[shengoikee]

ahhh im tempted to write you up exactly what i do but i know id just go off on one and leave a 3 page essay haha

whilst it feels so easy im gonna be drilling the rest of the week, try and get some full rotation (taking off side-on) with a decent landing (+ sun and grass yay) then maybe make a proper tutorial. more people could be doing this move. =)

[pete_man_man]

oh shit!!! i was there and even i don't remember them being that sick!!!

i guess it's cos i was looking down the camera... it must slow down time or something

things to say(in no particular order)

-NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE

-I'm totally getting 720Dleg before you:wicked:

-How's your 1080 going? I can get the spin easy now I just collapse painfully during the kick(help lolz)

- thank you!

- NO HOW DARE YOU!!! ahaha

- i can do the full spin every time which is much progress from a few weeks ago =)

problem im having is landing with a decent kick. like if i try to kick it goes way high but i bounce off my landing leg and smack my ass off the floor haha. iv landed lots with a kick just above waist height but the form is terrrrible (bad crescent kicks FTL!). i imagine myself being a big drill that has to hit the floor and drill into it haha. that's the only real thing i think about! it's crazy hard for me :agony: also, try some 1260s to get used to spinning loads/more comfortably

[Tatsumaru]

Excellent :good:

I still blow at pop kicks :( I must say I never really bother with them, even though I like them a lot. I just... forget to practise them? Haha.
