ur start is totally wrong

when u go into it, open ur legs wide and ur arm should go down infront of you not the side of you

and when u do go in, you have to spin (dead man 90) for like 1/2 a revolution...

figure that out first

then find the stalling point, theres a point where u just stall and right there you put ur other one in and whip ur body


iono, read the video 90 guide on the forum and compare it 2 your video you'll see

Naw, I think there is nothing wrong with his hand placement. Prostitut, you're the only one that I've ever heard say to put your hands in front of you. Why you put your hands to your side is to generate tort in your body. If you put it in front, you're not going to get as much. Watch Cico's 90s, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Mistikx's problem is that when he put's his hand down and gets into his handstand, he does not kick his leg up into a circular motion. He is like doing a handstand and it's standing off to the side. He needs to kick up and be able to balance that handstand first, then figure out how to generate spin.

nisennen,
while you are correct in saying that more reach generates more torque, BSX's advice for hand placement is appropriate here.
placing your hand more in the front limits the maximum power you can get, but it is consequently easier to find your center of gravity (balance).

i advise people against learning from KYS and Cico vids for the reason that they have supreme form, balance, and strength. the average bboy can't effectively imitate or learn from technique that requires so much.

mistik,
other than that nisennen is right about your form. you're essentially going down into a handstand and not much more.
when you spread, start the swing from side---don't lift it straight into the back.
the reason you see people take wide stances at the beginning is because it forces their leg off to the side where they start a good, powerful swing to work off from.

well everything is said above =/ so.. i'll just say that u should use ur hips or more like ur abs to keep ur leg wide before switching to the other hand (which is ur right hand to ur left hand) and yeah =/ keep url legs spread in the air and kick them in (or whip) to spin. and when u place ur left hand down, ur fingers should point to the right, which is where ur right hand is so maybe u'll wanna turn ur arms from left to right to get more spins. and also if u start with a lower stance, like when u bent ur back a bit, it's easier to spin.
just keep on practicing, it's not like u're gonna get it in a few days lol.
i got 2 2000s spins in 2 weeks though xP
