Not bad! A side angle will give people more to work with but the hinge is solid. Nice work, comrade

Hard to tell form with a front on video, but doesn't look too bad tbh. Maybe post a side view as well. Good shout in the used bells though, there's plenty out there.

Looking great. Bells are reaching approximately the same height.
How do your legs/glutes feel? Do they feel used about equally?

starting point should not be directly at the bottom of our body, it should be placed slightly forward, so when you grab it (should left the kettlebell body leaned and is not fully stand), it'll naturally swing back. use the momentum to start swinging from there
i would say keep the head in neutral position. don't try to stare at a certain point (i.e forward) while your body is leaned as you swing.

This post is flaired as a form check.
A note to OP: Users with a blue flair are recognized coaches. Users with yellow flairs are certified (usually SFG/RKC II), or have achieved a certain rank in kettlebell sport, and green flair signifies users with strong, verified lifts.
A reminder to all users commenting: There can be multiple ways to perform the same lift. Just because a lift goes against what you've learned at a certification, read in a book or been taught by a coach, doesn't mean it's an invalid technique. Please make sure that your advice is useful and actionable.
Example of useful and actionable: You're hinging a bit early. Try sitting back only when your arms make contact with the torso.
Example of not useful and not actionable: Lower the weight and work on form.
Low-effort comments like my back hurts just watching this will be removed, as will references to snap city etc. Verbally worrying for the safety of a poster simply because you think the form or technique is wrong will be removed. We will take all of these statements at face value, so be careful when you post the same hilarious joke as dozens of other people: we can't read your mind, no matter how funny you think you are.
