you're jumping into your flares. and since you jump into your flares, you get a lot of horizontal force so you're TRAVELING far. but your flare does not go anyhere. right now your ass is pretty much just flying

yeah dont start from standing, start from the ground. KEEP YOU LEGS LOCKED STRAIGHT AND YOUR ELBOW TOO. It is imperative that you keep your elbow locked or you aint goin nowhere but down son. Remember to sweep UP after you sweep under with your right leg. I quote mason boy "sweep, swing up, and around.. Most important thing IN YOUR LIFE". What you are doin is jumping into it thinking more power will get you through, it wont. Its ALL technique. What may help tho is if you do some leg stretches to help you straighten your legs. The straighter the legs the smoother the flare, in your vid it looks like your left leg is in a 90 degree angle, NO GOOD, gotta work on keepin it straight. My Final advice, Keep your left leg straight, swing it under sooner, dont jump into it. If you do that, you should at least be able to get to the back.
