Could you possibly do a tutorial on a cody if you havent already i tried one the other day and i didnt get enough rotation and almost broke my jaw with my knee lol i just cant get enough rotation with it
Absolutely! In the meantime, a couple things that might help- the first drill I show in this tutorial, where you go from stomach to back, is the same snap initiation as you would use for a cody. If you can get that takeoff to feel consistent, it'll make life much safer. The second thing I would recommend is learning to drive a cruise all the way over to your back. Going to your stomach is a great start, but if you can flip it even further you'll learn how it feels to put the rotation in that you would need to do a cody to your stomach or feet. Lastly, if you weren't trying it from a back 3/4 (backflip to stomach), I would highly recommend starting there. It'll give you much more power than starting from a front drop, just like a roundoff backflip is much physically easier than a standing one.
Have you ever tried adding extra twists to cruises'. A mate of mine does cruise double full or cruise 2.5 twists to back. Very enjoyable truck but quite difficult to initiate the extra rotation whilst staying on axis
I have! I thoroughly enjoy 540 cruise to stomach, it's been ages since the last time I did 900 but it was fun (and terrifying) when I used to do them, haha. Cruise variation videos coming next weekend (and for a month or so afterward) 🙃👊🏻
How do i add spinns to my flips? i accidentally did my first front half somewhat right, but since then every attempt landet on my head (in a foam pit). I can somewhat easily do a double front into foam, and on a good day a double back into foam
Twisting is mostly a matter of turning your hip, shoulder, and head at the same rate in the same direction at the same time, made much easier and more efficient by keeping your abs and butt engaged (what gymnasts etc refer to as "staying tight") so your entire body moves as one unit rather than in a disjointed way. For a front half, you can break it down in a pretty simple way- do a front tuck, kick out, and in the moment right before landing, close your hip and shoulder so you turn 45 degrees in the direction you want to twist. When that gets comfortable, add another 45 degrees so you're landing facing sideways, then another 45 to take you into an almost-half-twist, and finally another 45 degrees to take you all the way to a front half. From there, you can begin twisting slightly earlier and in a more open position so you can watch the trampoline, but that's how I would typically teach it. As for back twisting, cruises are a wonderful way to drill for the timing and general feeling of it. More to come on the subject, but it's hard to condense it into a TH-cam comment, haha. Hope this helps!
