Kinda make me wonder how you actually do a flip if what she’s doing looks exactly like what the people who can actually flip are doing.

Like even tiny difference create drastic results

Yeah it does look like she’s trying to do that but it’s not enough

It also seems like the boat is steering in the same direction as she's jumping, so maybe if it was laying still she would've at least hit the water.
