Some tips for all of your kicks, spot your target, LOOK UP! You're looking down for a lot of the kicks.

C720 doesn't really look like a c720 at all, I can't really tell.

Your tornado was pretty good, then your 540 was a totally different setup. Mimic the tornado setup/kick and land on your kicking leg, easy enough eh?

Oh and another tip on kicks, use your arms to dig/jump, then wrap them in, yours are just flailing around.

wow tht was kinda unneccesary......they wernt tht bad

[thaison]

search up the tricks that u say youre doing and look at those

[BboyShinez]

search up the tricks that u say youre doing and look at those

dude chill they were jus attempts.....most of thm first time attempts...
i never said i had thm down perfect and i kno my technique needs alot of work thtz y i was askin for advice//

[David M.]

I have always had this feeling inside of me that you were an idiot. I've made it quite obvious by calling you one in each and every thread.

but anyways your terminology is all wrong. and thaison gave you hella good advice and you snapped on him haha. chill niglet.

[DYoo]

yeah. you gotta chill. what thaison was saying is. look at what your saying. not doing.

yes attempts are attempts, but when you put incorrect terminology it really just makes you look the fool.

you got 2/5 of your terminology correct. so dont bash out on thaison.

if you're doing a c720, do a c720. if you're going to do a pop 720, dont post a pop 360.

if you really need tips on your tricks, then you're being ignorant and real desperate. i mean honestly, if you showed a 7 year old the difference between a pop 720 and a pop 360, they can instantly figure it out within 5 minutes.

now my question is to you, did you even look at what you were doing and look at other people doing those moves? im not trying to be rash, but really?

you're your best teacher. figure it out, and you'll gain more from it than someone spoon feeding you.

[thaison]

youre the best teacher david

[David M.]

love the term he used for that kick. "swing 900" it was like a swing 180 lol

[BboyShinez]

Oka i apologize for snapping on thaison earilier its jus the whole facepalm post tht set me off....i mean its like the first time ive attempted to kick in my life not to mention i jus barely picked up tricking and im tryin to learn not be laughed at u kno....:eh:
but anyways srry 4 tha terminology errors i was actully attempting every trick i listed...like for tha pop 720 i was attemptin a p7 but only got around a 540 spin with a kick....same with cheat7 i was tryin ended up lookin lyk crap....

O and btw david swingthru 900 does only have 360 degrees rotation..http://www.club540.com/trick/swingthru-900
:smile:

[DYoo]

900 always has a round. unless specified.

[DarkXacreD]

well I'm just gonna go through this anyway

pop 720: This looked more like a slightly delayed 360 crescent.

s/t 900: I dunno what a s/t 900 is supposed to look like but this just looked like a jump step-hook kick or a karate/tkd-ized lotus kick. Quite nice, though.

skip hook: um...looks more like a weird slant gainer type thing. The takeoff looks really intense like a gainer flash but then you kick over and then almost smoke your head off the coffee table. I dunno what to say about this.

tornado kick: nice height on this one, but your form is a little bit sloppy. try not to swing your arms back the opposite way of your kick and make your kicks more defined.

c720: you're definitely not there yet; maybe get a 540 first. This is like...a rodeo tornado kick??

540: Oh here's the 540...but it looks more like you're trying to sideswipe; keep your body upright like in your tornado, and remember to rip everything across the target zone. lol that last one you just fucked up the takeoff and almost did an aerialtwist. XD

-----------------

Right from what I can see here you've got good potential to progress your tornado kick to a 540, and you've got a solid 360 if you kick a little bit earlier. And work that slant gainer or even a gainer flash.

dude thnx alot for the critiscism and for pointing out my faults ill improve upon everything stated and try to get my terminology right next time...
and ths whole thread thng jus motivated me to becomer a better tricker and i makin a promise to myself next tym i post any footage it will be somethin i thnk will be worth watching.....although i might not post footage for lyk a year ill practice everyday till thn :smile:

[DarkXacreD]

Don't get all Mas Oyama hide-in-the-mountains (or not post any footage) for 10 years expecting to be super improved and stuff afterwards; if you need to post a video to see if your form is good or if you have a question about a certain move, then you post it. You might get some shit about it if you're way off but that's how you learn.

Exactly. Just because you were mistaken on a lot of things when you posted your first video, don't get yourself down and get into the whole "I'm not posting anything until I'm good" mindset. That's bull. If you feel like you've improved on something, or you really need advice on something, then your video is definitely "worth watching." Don't be shy, bro. We're here to help. Despite what you might have seen in the publicus, we're pretty welcoming people.


If you need advice, send me a message and I'll help however I can. And, um.... I'm saying this in the nicest way possible so don't think I'm dogging you or anything, but please try to at least spell out your words correctly even if you don't use correct punctuation. lyk, sry, and da aren't too easy on the eyes, and improper grammar is looked down upon by 75% of the members here haha. Sorry, bro.

[BboyShinez]

lol yea spelling never was my best subject... as for posting footage ill post if i feel i really need to but becoming a better tricker is something i need to do myself.....thnx 4 the support though guys

[erufukami]

If I were you I'd stop throwing tricks in front of that TV...

If those were the first times you tried anything then... okay. But yes, you do need to do some research. You really need to find a place with more room though.

[Bozzy]

Kick 1 Pop720 = A pop360

Swing900 = Stepover Hook

Skip hook = Wierd gainer/It looks pretty awesome though ha

Tornado = Really nice tornado good extention, try to sort out the landing a little, other than that nice!

Cheat 720 = Your spinning 180degree's under 720 + kicking with the wrong leg. Its a hook or an outside creasent, not a inside round/creasent. Look at some video's on youtube to try and sort it out

540 kick = Try to mimic your tornado set up and just try hyper it (land on your kicking leg) your tornado looks good enough for your 540 to look good.


All in all you should probably get yourself on club540 and youtube, check out the kicks your trying to do and then mimic what there doing.

[[RozoN]]

Your terminology is way off, dude. I don't even understand how you thought that your c720 was a c720...you're not even kicking with the right foot :eh:

Wow, thanks a lot for kind criticism guys. Good job. :good:

[Empty86]

just in general, it seems like your kicking target is in the direction of the couch, but you seem to kick all the time before you reach that target. i recommend spotting your target and aiming for that general direction. so even if you did land that 540 on the kicking leg, you weren't doing anything close to a 540. just my thoughts. keep training and keep posting up new vids of your improved stuff.

and to agree, you should stay away from that TV man.

THANKS FOR NOTICING ME SKILZ, MY LIFE IS OVER.
