What would you rather see in early Raiz attempts?

[Tamonten]

-very nice inversion with virtually no landing
-Or a medicore/rubbish Raiz that's landed but is poor?


These seem to only be as good as I can do with said trick :eh:
I'll try and post a vid of my attempts when I can get a cam, but in the mean time which of these two factors would you rather see in early attempts?

[Anima]

Unfortunatly for me it's -medicore/rubbish Raiz that's landed but is poor

[Dark Twista]

Find a way to mix them both, I managed to do it. So can you :good:

No shit, but that would be missing the point of my thread.

[Augenatic]

First one, totally.

[Dragonic MiKe]

lol.

Go for the first one and work at it until you can land. :good:

[Tamonten]

haha, thanks guys.

The first one is what I'm more prone to doing anyway and I know it'll look good when completed, but the landing is utterly full of fail.

[JKT]

when you say the landing if fail, do you mean you land on all fours etc.
Or you just bail?

[jiayo-chris]

First one :D.

I get all the way round and then just crumple into a mess when my foot hits the ground.

[tuareg]

Def first one. A crappy raiz is unbearable to watch haha.

[Skilzat85X]

Why does it have to be one or the other?


Land that sucka.

And do it inverted because if your head isn't below your hips it's not a Raiz. Seriously.

Yes, because those seem to be [in these early stages] the only ways I seem to Raiz.

[k-slash]

Fuck anyone who can gumbi.

[BboyAgua]

Fuck anyone who can gumbi.

I fucked a few who could gumbi. Just doin my part. *salutes*

[Ryu Sujin]

Hah gumbi is easy. Just spend an hour in your backyard and force it :good:

[mm tacos rock]

Do a completely inverted raiz where it's pretty much a gainer out of a cheat take-off. Yeah. That would be beautiful.

Don't worry about landing it. Landing tricks is for sissies and ninnies! Real men crash everything.

[Ryoda]

Tamonten, remember my old raizes? Horizontal, floaty. Yeah, I lost them, but NOW I got new, inverted ones because I tried something very sneaky *cackles*
When I was in Hull last year or whenever it was, I remembered someone saying something about gumbis and raiz in brazil being known as "spine" cartwheels because the hands-on-ground versions of this move are like some fucked up wrong-way cartwheel. So I took a few steps and went into this move like I was trying to fuckin' AERIAL man, but instead of pulling my arms up to my sides, I throw them around and up like a cheatkick move. And it worked! Tried it at the gym last week and now I can do them from a regular little setup.
I'm not sure how this might apply to your raiz, but just remember to keep trying different things. I dont get how you can not land an inverted raiz man, things just seem to fall into place with mine. Oh, also bare in mind I haven't SEEN my own new raizs yet, but apparently they looked pretty swish.

Ho ho ho! Yes I do remember them.

Similarly, I've heard TKD_Andy talk about going into raizs like aerial except looking back as well as using your arms differntly. I might try them tomorrow if I remember.

I dunno why I don't land them, I probably could easily, but I just seem to fall into a big heap for some reason....I need a cam....
