Do they look good?

I understand tornado kicks fine. NOW, what things must I consider when converting to 540, sideswipe, and other variation? I can get the 540 if I try for more air (I always land on the floor; that is, my foot AND my as-- der, arsenic, land on the floor).

Don't use a crescent kick set up just step in 180 for setup. Crescent kicks make you lose so much momentum.

Perhaps ride the cheated leg up a bit more to get some height before your chamber and throw the kick.

You've been on these forums forever, and I had never seen a single video from you.

Hmm, okay, okay. Now I know what I need to do to better my tornado. ^^ Thanks, and I'd been wondering why I lost momentum in that kick. -_- DUH award goes to me this second.

So: variations. 540, get more MORE height and swing?-- sideswipe, get more sideways?-- Doubleleg, just do it?

Learn 540...use a relaxed setup, dig and JUMP off the jumping leg while throwing the non-kicking leg as high as you can and throw arms up...this will give you lift. From there you just gotta work on whipping the kick over as fast and powerful as you can...
Dont even worry about sideswipe right now...trust me you are not ready yet. Sideswipe is much more complicated then just "going more sideways" =/
Also doubleleg is not a tornado variation...so drilling tornados / 540s will not get you a doubleleg.
Drill your pop 360 kicks for doubleleg.
