I think the biggest mistake people make with this move is not understanding where to look/spot. People seem to think you should look sideways like you're a spinning disc, but it will turn your side flip into a strange frisbee. Imo the best cue for this is to tell people to "tuck their chin" or "look at their knees". This helps achieving that barrel roll type rotation and keep it on a straight axis.
Excellent quality video. I take off a little more sideways but this is really good information. Another drill I recommend is setting up a string or a stick horizontally in front of you when learning that you're forced to jump over before you sideflip to prevent "diving".
Yeah I struggled with that a lot as well! I don’t know how much this will help, but I’d recommend throwing whichever shoulder/arm is your trailing shoulder for the Sideflip directly up and around for the rotation and focusing on keeping it from being thrown sideways at all. It’s hard to properly explain this, but I hope it helps.
@@APFlipper Of course! Let me know how it goes! Also I remember you asking last video for me to make a tutorial on how to make your flipping videos more entertaining. If you’re still interested in that, what would you like me to cover more of: filming? or editing?
easy way to fix landing backwards or learning to undo the rotation: your front elbow is hitting your abs when landing in a backwards position. your front elbow is hitting your ribs when landing sideways. your front elbow is hitting your lats when landing straight. try adjusting your shoulders accordingly.
@@akhias1002 Hey! I forgot to highlight your comment in the video, but I posted a short video about how to tuck tighter for your backflip. I hope it helps!
Running Sideflips will be easier because that running start allows you to block which provides more height and torque, so yeah that makes sense! Standing sideflips are a good test of technique and strength because they require more effort.
really best tutorial on side flip on youtube

Back flip height technique
I’m posting a short video all about that now!
I like gather step more than punching
I agree! 👌👌
Isn't it the game of excessive strength ??? B'coz I land good in runnings flips but standing ....I can't.
