Is my form correct for the backflip?

Yesterday was the first time I landed a backflip on the ground and I’m so happy. Ive been able to do it on a trampoline since last year.

Any tips on Front Flip?

Me and my brother have been trying to learn how to do a front flip. I have gotten to this point so far and was wondering if anyone had any tips / drills that would help.

My main (known) issues are that I am not un-tucking and my arm aren't going high enough. I find that it happens very fast and its hard to tell where I am in the air. I don't have any room for run-up either.

Does anyone have any drills / tips to help me get used to un-tucking, along with that, are there any other form issues you can see? It does hurt my back a little when I land. Thanks in advance!

edit - video is 60fps so you should be able to slow it down a little.

Im I doing this right

I'm trying to learn how to backflip this summer to impress my friend, so I looked up a video, and I'm stuck on this bit. It's meant to be an ugly back handspring, but when the guy in the video does it, he jumps pretty high and back, and I feel like I'm not doing it right. Any tips to improve?

Thats the video link: https://youtu.be/YW8FPY7VGjE?is=wny-QwzyAfvQ2f4Y

The timestamp on the bit im tryna replicate is 5:01

Trouble with backflip rotation

So I’ve been working on my backflip for a while now and I’m able to land on my knees which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now. But the problem is that in order for me to land on my knees I have to throw my head backwards in order to generate enough rotation to complete the flip. I’ve tried keeping my head neutral, but I land on my back and neck every single time which is in my opinion way worse than landing on my knees. So I’m just confused?

If the only way I can actually backflip is if I throw my head backwards then how else do I generate rotation when that’s gone?

Update: Okay so I think I found the main problem with my rotation. It’s the mat. I’m using the mat to help me overcome the fear of the backflip but it’s killing the necessary height required to get me on my feet. I’ve seen a couple of people say that I need to raise my arms more and while I don’t entirely disagree, I’ve seen a lot of backflips even ones people have sent me and majority of them have their arms in the same position that I do. I don’t think it’s impossible to do it on the mat that I have but at my current level I won’t be able to get it done. The closest I’ve gotten was my toes. So instead I’m going to go to a gymnastics gym near me and see if they got better equipment that I can use.

B twist

I had been coming really close to a cork and realized I was skipping foundational steps so I went to learn the b twist before the cork, let me know how it looks this is around 30 minutes of giving it a go

TD Raiz Progression: Problem with landing on both hands and not having momentum to connect other tricks

It's been two months since I posted a question here regarding TD Raiz. Huge thanks to all people who gave me advice. I made a progression but I still struggle with the landing. The trick does not look that difficult, I don't know why I still can't nail it after such a long time. Please take a look here:

https://reddit.com/link/1uhrgy9/video/oyi3dgqjcz9h1/player

As you can see, I touch the ground with both hands. Even when I focused on keeping the right hand on my chest, I had to touch the ground in the end. I think the problem is not the hand alone. I also stop the motion after the trick, not like other people who can use the momentum to start other tricks.

I have watched slowmo videos, tutorials, but can't identify what should I focus on to fix this. I really like how Johsuke does the trick, I even made a comparison to see what I do differently, see below:

https://reddit.com/link/1uhrgy9/video/c3eyaxgadz9h1/player

I have some ideas:

- Not bending enough. He clearly has the chest more open than me.
- Jumping too high. Should I try to delay the jump even more? But I sometimes don't get enough momentum when I try that.
- My leg is not straight enough. I saw other people not having perfectly straight leg either and still landing properly so I guess this is just aesthetic thing.

As many people in tutorials say: "Focus on one thing at a time." What do you think should be my main focus? I experiment a lot, try various stuff but it seems like I need to fix one fundamental thing but I am not sure which one. Thank you for reading this post anyway!

Any tutorials on how to improve a vertical twist?

I just want to improve my jumping twist. I can get a 540 but when I try for more I noticed my body either slanting, or my left leg flopping outwards despite me flexing my abs, glutes and legs.

I can't find any tutorial out there that goes beyond "spot over shoulder and wind arms up" as nothing really engages with keeping the legs on axis.
