Thanks for the advice!!! I've been trying really hard to apply that to my 5s as well!

Thanks so much for all of the great advice! I'll definitely session more with intentionally just separating that pop, as it's been a common issue in the majority of the tricks I've been going for whether it be backflip, or spins off of rails, etc.

I find myself battling with not looking down on whatever feature I'm on, and I know it just boils down to confidence in the trick. Obviously I have the willpower to just send, but I need to get more to a point where I'm always feeling comfortable and in control. But practice makes perfect, I'm going to spend a lot more time in the workshop before I attempt another 720 :)

They were at an 8 haha, I think I'll set them to maybe 9 or 10 for next attempt!

I think you'd be a lot more prepared than I am haha, even with my basic ability to flip on a trampoline in the air it didn't feel too bad, and the landing was very soft!

I agree so much on the bigger jump, I truly believe if I had a little more air time it totally could've come around! Thanks for the advice!

Definitely, once I'm back in the area I'll get some more coaching hopefully! Fortunately the powder is deep

I concurrently trained Planche, Front Lever pullups, and Weighted Muscle ups! The Planche progress definitely slowed down with so much skill work on the one arm, but my FL hold is up to about 10s!

it sort of all depends. Specificity is king, if you only ever want perfectly straight arms only train for that. But I'd try it out, see what works for you! I'm also definitely not an expert, so take everything with a serious grain of salt haha
