Sideflip...

The sideflip has the type of rotation i find the hardest; side rotation. Jumping up, while forwards, while side on, and then pulling your leg in, yet out with your arms, which are pulled by your sholders, giving the rotation which is kept by the looking at the floor by the eyes, in the head which is rotating and staring right at the ground which your whole bodywieght is above it spinning at about 100 mph, and then you have to find the time to put you legs out 1 by 1 and land smoothly.
Can you see why I find it hard?

On a serious note, me and Luwen were working on sideflips at the gym last night and i saw a big improvement in luwen and felt a massive improvement in myself. We were trying to get them through explanation and then our coach; Torian did one and it clicked for me. Before this I had been slinging myself into the foam pit and then teaching from Andy and a demonstration from Tourian saw me getting better and better. Just shows Practise does make perfect (if you know what your aiming for). I managed to land about 2 with good technique onto mats and tryed a couple on the floor.

Heres some of the first attempts into the foam pit. Don't expect much!
