D-leg attempt > help video

[Madish]

This is my friend's double leg attempt.
According to his opinion he's jumping too far, not blocking properly and it looks more like sideflip motion than a double leg....

Any tips please?

Tell him he needs to use his arms more.

he doesnt torque.... at all. tell him to stop relying on his punch to get him over. in order to get height and keep those legs straight it is a must to torque with the upper body

he is going over his back, tell him to turn more at the takeoff, so that he is sideways when he leaves the ground, he is currently doing what i do and have not yet bothered to fix. I will fix this today i think.

actually you are supposed to jump straight up on take off. if you lean to the side then it usually ends up becoming a side flip. it seems like in his video he got the habit of the rolling effect probably from drilling by rolling over stuff (like his buddy's back or something) which is fine to get the idea of, but not to applied while actually attempting this trick by itself.

try torquing and jumping straight up.

heres what i mean
