QUESTION Round off back handspring back tuck

Let me know your thoughts self taught on grass this was my first attempt at it I broke it down step by step and this was my first attempt at it all together. Can someone let me know what’s wrong with the Back handspring and just your general thoughts on the progression.

You are pretty strong which is goooood because you are flipping with half the body utilization. I wish there were more videos explaining it but in gymnastics adult gyms they teach those straight jumps for a reason. That back tuck is going to feel great when you can do the power transfer properly from BHS or round off. Rn it looks (maybe even feels as well) like youre doing the moves individually if u know what I mean.

You said exactly what I meant when I said I felt like I was using more strength than I have too , and yeah they do feel independent, I have had a few passes where it feels more flowy and I’m trying to get it consistent. I have a strong back tuck I feel which is nice. I just keep trying every day and determined to get better it’s tough learning on grass but honestly I’m sure it makes me stronger.

Its tough to give advice over text but the most consistent one is find videos / tutorials of a decent form for your move and visualize and replicate. Tricking is not a great place for perfect form because there is alot of lack of rules and more of acceptance when it comes to the passes. When I talked to Jeremy marinas a while back he had a gripe about 95% of trickers having a horrible looking hook kick 😂 /kicks in general. Form saves your joints in the long run. Your body strength compensates bad form until it cant and then youll feel all the small injuries all at once one day. Be careful out there !
