r/Tricking

I feel like im flipping in front of me is it a cork?

I'm about 30+ sessions into learning backflips. Today I tried one off cushioned ground toward a foam pit, and my head hit the hard part of the pit instead of the soft foam.

My guess is that I didn't fully extend on the takeoff and my hips came up too slowly, so I rotated late and landed short. I'd like to know if that's the right diagnosis or if I'm missing something like arm swing, takeoff angle, or head position.

What drills would you do before trying it into the pit again, and should I be using a spotter or a bigger landing setup until my height is more consistent? I can post a video if that helps. Thank you!

My friend learned this somehow without any tutorials and we have no idea what this is lol.

Yeah, idek man 😭 wild session. I woke up and shuriken cork just made sense after that.

So it's my first time doing backflips on a trampoline park and I got bored and started messing around with rotations what is this I thing it looks like the corks that we do on bikes but I don't really know what it is

surprisingly only took 3 attempts because of my martial arts background, wondering if it fits the criteria for a proper 540?

As you can see. My aerial is basically still a b kick and im struggling with the conversion. I trying to really kick up my leg behind me (right leg) and am trying to look a bit infront of my left leg to get the my body lower compared to a b kick. Do you think my problem is a strength, flexibility or technique issue? I also hypothesis my hips are incorrect but i dont really know. Open to any recommendations. Thanks.

I’m also proud of myself for kip ups at 5’5 165 Ib
