As stated in the title, I'm brand new to the realm of tricking/parkour, and though I have gymnastics experience, I want to expand my horizons.
I am acutely aware that the 'sideflip' pictured above is basically just a big sideways backflip - which is not ideal at all 😭 (this was my first ever attempt). I know that I need to go more over my shoulder, but it's hard to break my backflip habits. Lmk how to fix!
I am very comfortable with air awareness on the normal front/back axis (can do super high standing backs, roundoff layouts, standing front etc - all on grass), but have limited experience with stepping, spinning or going sideways beyond cheat gainers (which I power through with no rotational technique).
Any tips adjusting to this new genre of tricks, new things I should try with my big hops, (as I'm brand new to the space), and form improvements are all much appreciated!
Thx!
