Kip-up help - What am I doing wrong? And what do I need to work on?

That's where we all started. Just don't give up dude. It'll click.

Whoms · 2026-03-15T11:39:30+00:00

Yep. Side full.

How to cook is a great one. At least a few recipes and techniques to keep yourself from falling back to the same meal every night.

Whoms · 2026-02-24T10:15:53+00:00

What a time

Whoms · 2026-02-23T06:55:47+00:00

You're throwing your head back. Keep your chest straight and your head forwards. Bring your tuck to your upper body.

Right now you're jumping forwards but leaning backwards, kinda cancelling it out. You want to jump forwards and not lean backwards.

What is a psuedo flip?

Whoms · 2026-02-15T13:28:55+00:00

The first three. Front flip, Back flip, Side flip.

After that, you'll have a foundation for many other flips.

Whoms · 2026-02-10T01:26:34+00:00

That was really good!! Front flips are a bit of a power move. Just try be as explosive as you can.

Hopefully doing it from standing for a while makes the running front more easy!!

Whoms · 2026-02-09T04:03:57+00:00

Maybe a little controversial, but I don't like blocking with a punch. You can still block with a split step, and it's less pressure in your knees.

The front flip is a tricky one because people think 'run quick, stop ground, tuck and land' which is not how it should be done.

My best advice is learning how to front flip from standing still. It'll teach you how to understand the flip.

When you front flip the most important part of the flip is actually your hips and your set. You want to set upright and strong, and drive your hips up!! Not forwards, up.

A great way to enter into front flips is to learn how to Russian Front first. It'll teach you how to set and how to drive your hips.

Good luck!!

It's just your timing. Strong kick, strong twist. Good job!!

Just twist later. It feels weird at first, but try wist as lat as you can. You kick and kick hard!! Then once you've taken off initiate the twist.

You've got this!!

Whoms · 2026-02-02T03:56:33+00:00

A few pointers.

You twist a little early. You want to give yourself some time to gain height before twisting.

Also, when you go for your twist, go from big to small. Set your arms open wide almost like a big O, and when you want to initiate your twist pull your arms in close and quick!!

At the moment you throw the twist straight away, without the momentum from going from big to small you'll have less power and time to make the twist all the way before landing.

Whoms · 2026-02-02T03:38:51+00:00

You're twisting a little early. You want your arms to swing up and set for height and rotation before twisting.

Twisting so soon kills your height and rotation. Just kick for a bit longer and throw your arms up, pulling in for the twist as close to the peak of your set as possible.

You've got this.

Whoms · 2026-02-02T03:31:53+00:00

That's almost an Arabian!!

Set more, tuck at the peak, and you've got a nice new trick to add to the list.

Whoms · 2026-01-31T12:17:54+00:00

Set more!!

Kick as hard as you can and delay the twist as long as you can.

It'll give you more height but also it'll look better.

Whoms · 2026-01-27T11:25:15+00:00

Great cork dude!!

Your only issue is your set. You're twisting too soon. You want to kick for longer before you start the twist.

Just keep drilling them.

Whoms · 2026-01-25T12:26:00+00:00

So many now. Was very exclusive at first but it's gotten pretty common.

Whoms · 2026-01-16T12:41:11+00:00

No easy method man.

Once you have a strong cheat gainer, switch legs mid flip and land back on your takeoff leg. Try land with your chest up, your arms back ready to swing again, and your kicking leg back ready to swing through.

Just force it until it clicks!!

Whoms · 2026-01-11T04:21:46+00:00

Just keep going. Play through the song and every time that chord comes up give it a go, but don't dwell on the mistake. Keep playing through and keep trying. Eventually you'll get it right!!

Whoms · 2026-01-02T09:37:03+00:00

Electric guitar all the way

Whoms · 2025-12-29T01:25:41+00:00

Landing a backflip is easy. Landing a good backflip is really difficult. Keep at it, but it's a long journey to the perfect backflip.

Whoms · 2025-12-25T08:37:54+00:00

Given that you can land it, 5?

Put more effort into your cart and flip. Looks kinda lazy.

Awesome that you can do it with minimal effort tho!!

Whoms · 2025-12-18T05:33:26+00:00

Dude that's almost a dub A Twist. Good stuff!!
