that wasnt so bad, you could do that. try messin abwt with your setup, but i really dont see much of a problem. just keep trying.

[DevinWho]

something about it doesnt look right to me though. Like my feet are too stationary and not traveling behind me during the cork

[Roxas]

you're not jumping into your cork at all - if you look closely at Anis, he doesn't dip his upper body backward like you do when he starts, he jumps up (with a 45 angle upper body), before starting his twist, THEN his cork gets adjusted horizontally.

so, just think of jumping up first BEFORE twisting, I do that all the time and I never crash my corks anymore that way. I should see you in 2 days hopefully if you're coming :DD i could help you better with that

[JimmY41]

you are,and its probably because of fear,directly after your kick leaning backwards. This is why you mis height...also you can try to kick harder....

So:

-Keep your body straight
-kick harder

i think... :P

[DevinWho]

Okay. Yea, fear is the reason I haven't been drilling this again. At one point it got so bad that i was jumping vertical and spinning

And thanks Roxas, hopefully I go. Oddly I think Itd be easier for me to cork out of my swing thru cuz of the power from it.

In the clip, I was throwing it into a gainer then throwing a twist the second I felt my speed adjust. Where am I supposed to look during? and I cant slant gainer on my left yet

your spinning in the same spot you need to flip over to land good, but it seems like you could do it preatty easy

[Rakamarasu]

Close, try to hold youre kick a bit longer before going for it and commit : )

[DevinWho]

Also going off what it said in Scalcos tut. It looks like im bending my kicking leg

[trickstutorials]

Your blocking set-up looks fine, but one obvious thing you're lacking is your speed with your set-up and your jumping power. Over-all, it looks like you're not putting much if any aggression into it. Your twist looks fine, but the only thing I can see why you're not completing it is because the lack of speed and aggression into the set-up. Work on that and then post another video up of your progression.

Try getting a more circular S/t , Also the floor looks really hard to get height off!

And a massive short cut to stop bad habits, (Wish i followed this advice before i tried my first corks) PLEASE get your slant gainer, Quit corks untill you have a solid high nice controlled slant gainer... Then when you go to cork think slant gainer, Use the same lead in and enter the cork as if you where going to slant gainer then just as you lean back like in a slant gainer you pull your arms in legs together and wrap a tight bundle of fun and land!

[DevinWho]

Got it. Now to do like you guys are telling me and kick harder, put more aggression and speed in, and hold a gainer longer before i twist

Thanks a lot Roxas! You helped me a lot at the session

Edit:Woot! Just studied Anis's cork some more and realized why mines is even more ugly. The fact that I traveled back had bugged me and i see that im jumping without even getting my hips past my foot. So im throwing myself back
