Couple Backflip Variations

[funaki4]

So I can roundoff pretty comfortably, and I can backflip pretty comfortably now, so I just combined them together :smile:.

My first attempt at R/O Backflip, and a Gainer and random Gainer Flash attempt.

I need to know how to get higher and all these moves, and my Gainer Flash is just bleh....

Don't throw your arms like that in a RO-back. You wanna do a RO-back, not a RO-standing back. Keep your arms high, where they end up in the RO.

And on the gainer flash you're not kicking through at all, you just kick in the air and spin around daaaarn slowly. Throw your hips up a bit more, and really try to make the leading leg actually lead the move.

lol okay thanks. Should I arch my back? Cause when I see other videos, people arch their back kind of....

You need a better setup for your gainer flash, when u transfer motion from your kicking to your non kicking leg u gotta make it flow well, make sure you do it in a hop. Keep your kicking leg straight and tuck your nonkicking leg, crash it a few times then you'll stick it. My best advice is to develop your J step and revise it as many times until you get a comfortable setup, I've changed my setup like 12 times since I first started tricking.
