Maybe you're not jumping completely off of both legs.

To me it seems like you could definitely bend your knees a bit more, and get a lot more force out of it.

And also, you're not using your arms enough. Right now your arms are focused on spinning more than going up.

You need to really throw your arms up past your shoulders along with a nice solid jump to get that height.

alright I think I might have the answer to your problem my man.

The very first thing you're going to want to do is to get yourself a nice aggressive setup and dig. After you have that the problem might already fix itself but anyways heres something you'll need to know. For the pop setup, if you feel like you are jumping as hard as you can but you aren't going as high as you should be, almost as if there is something restricting you from attaining maximal height. The rhythm in your pop setup may be messed up, what I mean by this is matching up the torquing motion of your upper body with the jumping motion of your lower body. If they aren't matched up it can cause your kicks to feel unnaturally low, weak, slow, whatever.

The problem i would always have is that i would be torquing too early and not giving myself the time to get a nice lift from my legs, which would cause my 360s to be low even though I was jumping as high as I could. This isn't as easy to fix as most technique problems(at least from what I've experienced). Some days it will be working for you, some days it won't, but with practice I'm sure you can work kinks.

Just get yourself a better setup(reference) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=kIIZPyhxZsQ)
and remember you need aggressive upper body torque and lift.

That looked good to me. A better setup would fix height, but i wouldn't bother. I found it perfect, but that's just me haha.

Your corks are fucking fast. I think its amazing you can trick on what appears to be concrete in such a small area.

[cyrys]

thank you guys
and thank you williamt for the big post :good: tossman it is concrete :eh: and it suck balls tricking on it, its the only place i can trick nowdays

[Skippy]

Clarence you're insanely hardcore haha, you like, live on concrete. I swear to god you must have the strongest joints of any tt member haha.

If I were you Clarence I'd also take note of how effing far apart sessh's feet were in most of his pop moves. I've just spotted this myself just now and am going to experiment with it, but he has them madddd far apart.

[Augenatic]

You don't want your feet far from eachother on pop moves :smile:
