bullshit flash

[Ryan Sas]

so basically, i don't understand how to execute those funky flash kicks out of btwists, raizes, etc. generally we call them (the people i train with here) step down flashes, and when i'm pissed, a "bullshit flash." so yeah, what exactly am i going for here? everytime i just try to throw myself i end up doing a half or a ghetto lookin side sumi. the only way i can flash is if i come down perfectly squared up (which has left me with only aerials to do flashes out of.) anyhow, a little guidance would be much appreciated, thanks.:juji:

im a little confused, do you mean out of s/t's or from a pop set-up?

like a slanted gainer?

a vid of what you're asking about would help

[poliver]

i believe he talks about pop flashes... yeah, i could use some tips too =( same problem

[Ryan Sas]

i mean those funky flashes that people just randomly pull out of their asses that you're like "well... i guess it was a flash... though it was kinda sidewasy and stuff.." it's like a back flip aerial hybrid. it is to a flash kick what a slant gainer is to a real gainer flash. like... when someone does a 720 twist and barely pulls one of these out of their ass because the landing is such that it's the only way they can really manage it. *sigh* get it?

i gotcha

i guess the best way to call it would be a slant flash?

it's basically a slant gainer from a pop set-up,

my bro, mike, does them a lot cuz he sucks at pop flashes, i think he does one in his first sampler somewhere. He says it's pretty much a slant gainer from a pop set-up, instead of kicking straight back over when you go to flash, kick over your opposite shoulder

haime was trying to teach this to me. he said you basically do an aerial... its confusing

[Ryan Sas]

hmm... interesting. i''ve tried the jump backwards into an aerial thing but i'm pretty sure i'm doing it wrong, lol. it looked like one of those wierd stalled sideways danny graham flips with a kick. not at all what i was expecting, but kinda cool i guess. any other tips or is it one of those things you get just by throwing yourself after tricks a lot?
