you really should film from the other side :eh:

[David M.]

yah i concur dalo.

from this angle i couldnt tell you if it was even a raiz or not! i think its side to side.. which isn't right :\

try to arch?

[Augenatic]

It's not that good, to be completely honest! :tongue:
It could definitely be really cool with some adjustments. Try to look behind yourself when going into it, launching over your head, and lifting your leading leg up straight over the top(or what feels like it), like a gainer from a cheat setup. Pretty hard to explain, but you don't have the crescent-ish raiz, so it should be easy to fix. Also, go up! chest up, ahah.

i like it, keep doin at and swingin it through, then work on your more inverted one. then the 2 will come together slowly and you will pwn at raiz sts.

[Tiger Woods]

its not inverted and you dont arch at all. You go side to side and you get no air at all. Kick that leg up and at the same time arch that back hard. This angle is hard to tell but you can see that you aren't raizing cuz your torso turns a full 180 before you leave the ground when it should go only be around 100-170 degrees

i agree with augenatic

most ppl try to kick like a crescent. ur body is twisting, arching or wtv alredy so if u just lift ur leg up, ur body will pull it and make it look like its going side to side kinda...rly hard and weird to explain lol

all i no is that the only difference for me between a gainer flash and raiz other than the setup is the the gainer i look back and pop my chest up,arching my bak. As for the raiz, i look over my shoulder, the same side im flipping(yes...raiz is a flip!) and look at the floor but still arching. the kik is identical! i kik straight up! it gets u that inverted look and feels like a gainer.

recap...gainer look back, raiz look over shoulder....everything else is identical except for setup...and im guessin the kiking leg.


trust me on this one...i tried raiz for months by doing the same thing u doin now...took me forever and still felt like im just doing a crescent...no inverted. all changed wen i kiked up!

Thanks man! So kick up rather then to the side? I always kinda had fear for kicking up because its a awkward feeling.But I will give this a try I'm having a trick session to day.

[BboyAgua]

Doesn't look like a raiz to me, kick over your body.

[rako]

let me no how it turns out

[Patrickster]

let me no how it turns out

Yepp sure thing.Hopefully it goes well!

[TONE TONE]

to invert it more think of kicking up more like a flash kick

[kamesennin]

Im trying to think aerial when I do raiz. helps me invert more!

[Shaolin.dk]

looks pretty good to me even tho it aint "correct". the fact that you can swing trough is nice=)

[Patrickster]

Im trying to think aerial when I do raiz. helps me invert more!

Thats what I've have been doing.But for some reason I always swing to the side.It feels weird.But o well I'l give it a try.

[FreZko]

think more like an aerial =)
but yeah, good power and flow

edit: sorry, didn't see that post above. but yeah, that tip worked hella good for me.
