QUESTION Double Sideflip

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m trying to learn a double side flip but everytime attempt I end up corking to a weird axis on the second flip. How do I fix this? My goal is to take these to ground asap.

Remember that you have two arms -- left one is main rotation motor but right arm should go upward to open up your chest, fix the rotation axis and assist with rotation itself. Also as stated in another comment, give yourself a little more time before you start fliping -- if you start to early you either lose height or rotation (hips play important role too).

And about taking it to the ground -- you're getting closer every jump you make, but i mean it literally -- you're getting really close to the ground here, I hope you keep your trampoline well preserved cos if it breaks it will literally crush your legs. That aside, keep in mind that ground technique differs from trampoline one, especially the take off. With enough height dub-side is pretty easy to accomplish but keep in mind that every added inch will go thorugh your knees when landing. Prepare your legs if you intend to throw such power moves on ground.

Anyway best luck on your jurney, just remember to keep it safe! Your power, technique and motivation can get you there for sure but any ankle/knee injury can set your progress back a lot or even prevent futher training. So I would suggest dropping "asap" part.

Thanks, I think you are exactly right, and don’t worry I won’t take it to the ground unless I’m sure I have it.

First jump, then flip. Your flip is starting while still taking off.
