really very helpful video...the written guide is a bit long and intimidating to try and read through in one sitting, but it's really helpful.

but there's gotta be at least one gripe...

you didn't link your windmill from your 6step...kinda defeats the purpose, you know.

I'm painfully aware, the moment i uploaded it (it took like 2 hours, it errored out twice) my friend was like; dude why didnt you just do a coin drop?

and i was like

fak.

hahaha

but thanks for the feed back regardless, hope it helps! and i know, walls of text are pretty frightening i just try to be thorough though

while you sweep your legs and collapse your arm, it might help to tilt your head down/tuck your chin in. this causes your back to curve (not arch, curve) and it can help with rolling onto your upper back.

i'd need to see a video though, because a proper leg sweep can also get you onto your upper back without any chin tucking and what not

No, your legs aren't bent that much at all.
What I meant was, when you do multiple windmills, your right leg should be closer to your body instead of just swung upward.

and I had a bruised knee and didn't want to risk hurting it more, but I'll take off my knee pads next time if it makes you happy.

Naw, dont do it for me lmao, your windmills are fast, and if your legs straightened out 100% they would be so much faster i think the knee pads are slowing you down
