It doesnt look like your using your arms. Try tucking harder as well.

wear something lighter, alot of people who wear jeans and sweaters when they trick don't land as much as often as people who wear like shorts, or t-shirts or people who trick naked... it is a proven study

You are not setting nearly as high as you need to. Look at how high me and Juji set up. Go watch your video again and pay attention to your arms.

practice simple tuck jumps first, and straight jumps with arms set behind your ears too. Your body should just be tilting a little backwards, your arms and the tuck are what bring you over

yea, what everyone else said,
stand in the center of your pile of cushioning more, so you dont try to jump back to land on it,
also, i would lose the jeans d:
i cant do anything in jeans.
yeah im broke at the moment but i get paid thursday so i can get some trackies there.
also just thinking, throwing my arms up wiltmost likely send me more vertical.
sorry for any spelling mistakes, im using my pda and it hates handwriting recognition(poorly)
