Tried a "new" way of doing Ejik from behind =D

[Dragonfly]

So, earlier today, I decided to go and trick, even though the grass was soaking, haha :tongue:

Anyway, I tried doing hooks the way I see Anis and Danny G does them, wth a little "instep", you'll se what I mean.

The point? I want to know if these looks better that my original ones did, these feel more powerful and fast, but if they're not "correct" or looks good, I don't see the point of doing them :tongue:

Anyway, I would appreciate some comments about the other things in the video as well, just to make me feel good :tongue:

Anyway, g2g2sleep now, but I'll be expecting loads of comments by tomorrow :wicked:

I think that they both look good! They clearly are giving you a decent amount of power

I doubt that the little set down beforehand is making much difference, do what you feel comfortable doing

[Tatsumaru]

Lots of power, it's awesome man. Very smooth too. TDraiz to cork was very nice as well. Keep on doing hooks this way haha? :tongue:

thanks, yes I will :good:

Good night everyone :smile:

[Feilongtobi]

like it a lot, the hooks look very clean and powerfull!

[TheRef]

I also do the lil step hook... to me it feels like I get more momentum for the next trick doing so. I love your td raiz... you need to do cork dlegs from em now that you've got the cork!!!! But everything seems to look good... just keep drilling the hooks!

[Skippy]

That was fucking sexy! the td raiz cork was just smoooooth man!

[Andy R]

dude thats what i did yesterday! it helped so much and fixed my raiz.

[Kickman87]

[Augenatic]

That was sexual man!

Cork and btwist dlegs feels weird, and they sure don't look good (when I do them!) :tongue:

Sorry, I don't quite understand, what do you mean with "open up", like, when? :tongue:

Lol at the new topic title, Jan? :tongue:

[TheRef]

So I went back to see what he was saying and I do kinda see what he's talking about... Because you do your step over before the hook, you kill part of the kick because your already sorta rotated before the kick gets out, so its coming out late... Make sense?

Just like he said, make 'em big and wide and fast... I think if you just focus on chambering the hook first before extending to kick, it may correct that...

But then again everyone is different and has their own personal style, so yeah, whatever... :tongue:

[funaki4]

WADDAYA MEAN, ME???

:wink:

[Kickman87]

thats the last time I help anyone. lol look at danny G and you will understand

[carney]

They both look fucking awesome!

[OyajiTricker]

The guy is saying make your hook wider (fan out) then chamber it in. when you fan it out u should let that lateral momentum drag b4 you finish the kick. I hope that was clear enough.

[OyajiTricker]

[alaMara]

niice really like your raiz and they both seem to give u loads of power but the second looks cooler to me because of the way u snap into it , it looks more powerful .
Like your corks a lot too man , im gonna study the way you do them , it will help mine !!! thanks for posting your vid

[Dragonfly]

Lol, what are you on? :tongue:

I'm obviously kicking, though I don't do it the way you prefer, why do you even care :tongue:

[Gnome]

Now I could be wrong about this but I will throw it out there anyways. To me it seems your td raiz is still a little high, almost as if you're going up too much instead of around. It seems like you're getting a lot of power out of it though. If you want to try something different try extending out more so that you're rolling over your hand instead of dropping down on it from a height. I could be wrong though, I just do mine that way.

[Origional]

MOAR POWER!!!!

Thanks, you're right :good:

Yes, I've been trying to fix this. Seems like it needs more work then :tongue:

[Daniel Graham]

papa you are spinning on your heel you need to spin on the balls of your feet. you get more power that way

also try kicking lower bc your kick 2 high on your spin hook, its making you work harder and makes the follow up trick harder. pay attention to it, if you see it, you are a lil off balance when you spin hook high

try 2 spin hook lower and your body will automatically go down and once you get that then your raiz will be more powerful and then you gainer or cork will be more powerful

Look at my spin hook raiz 2 dub cork at 1:00


try that and let me know

good luck

[broertjetim]

that skip hop doesn't make sence at all

it helps for moves where you need air
and the normal step ( your old one ) is good for hooks and other low air kicks where you need rotation instead of of air

so

skip hop: air moves --> 540,jacknife, 540 twist,..
normal step: low, fast rotation moves--> hook, tornado bon,...
