A demo of all the tricks.


Sorry about the bad framing but I hope that there all clear. And of course we expect you to hold each lighthouse still for 3 seconds

Thanks for showing the tricks. So the somersault lightouse is basicly a side flip 1turn lighthouse. The last one i never did before so that will take a lot of practise.. When i got that down i need them all in a row no mistakes... This one will take a bit longer! Maybe i post a progress clip to ask for some tactics etc.

Tonight first need to upload voids trick ladder :)

Dimensions

Lighthouse Somersault = Lighthouse Flip
Pull up to lighthouse > flip the ken 360° back to lighthouse. My somersault looks a bit sidey as I was trying not to adjust my grip, so any direction of he somersault is allowed

Heres a GIF:

With the whirlpool lighthouse:
Try and find the right speed of the whirlpool (the first section) then give it a fraction more speed before letting go. Give the ball a small tug and catch the lighthouse softly.

The knees for this trick should go like this

Whirlpool - slightly flexed
Pre-release - almost fully bent
Release and catch the ball - completely straight
Catch of the lighthouse - depends on the position

Hope this helps

Ok thanks sojust a one turn lighthouse -= somersault. The last one i need to learn it first:D

Cliffdama

Ok @void here it is. Hope you like it. This upload is a test, i did it one my phone so can any ody using a pc or mac tell me if the quality is good . Ty!


The Void

Quality looks okay on my iPad.

Can't quite see if that Stab was above horizontal or not, but hey, cool. Well done.
If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

Cliffdama

Yeah it was hard the stab. It's actualy above horizontal bit weird to see ^^. The lighouse ladder is going to take me a while longer i think. That last one omg it's hard!

Edit: how many spins does the wp lighouse need to have?
I started with 0,1,2 al landed once now :)

Dimensions

Any amount of spins in the whirlpool are OK, just find your preference
