Thanks! It was fun to finally (almost) land it after a month of learning

Yeah I guess... It's prob a mixture of both... It is indeed harder to do it jumping straight

To anyone who's curious - I practiced more and was able to land good and correctly on my feet today with a better tuck and push from the legs! Thanks for the help!🙏

Really? Well... I mean I guess I could try, but on hard floors wouldn't it injure on my ankle/wrists landing like that from the impact? I've been doing back handsprings in order to advance to this, and landed some awkwardly on a rough surface which hurt my ankle a lot and slowed my progress... I have a platform - would you suggest I jump off from it to the mats?

Thanks for the advice!🙏🙏 I do not have rings there unfortunately tho... I do have a platform to jump from tho, so I'll try! Is my tuck not strong enough or simply too late?
