hey there. i know practically nothign about tricking but i have no choice but to retribute the favour

i did tricking like maybe 5 times ever, but i always felt like after i started a trick, everything else should come somewhat easily until the end of that specific trick. in other words, a good setup always made my life easier, and if i had to struggle or force a landing it would always either look bad, or make my next trick extremely hard (either due to loss of balance or awkward position)

i think that is what happened in this replay a little often, like how when you landed at frame 1060 you were practically sitting. if you had tried to edit the initial jump and made yourself jump higher, maybe you could have landed while standing up straight, and that would make it easier to transition to an end pose. it would also help you look smoother, if you were to continue into another trick. basically, trying to cut the problem from the root instead of trying to forcefully fix it at the end usually yields better results.

Flash and Oblivion replays really show how great setups and landings can make the whole trick look really smooth and effortless, so if you feel like watching some tricking i recommend those two. i also recommend Dahstevy, although im not sure where to find his replays. godspeed

also protip if you post more than 1 replay at a time, your chances of getting a comment are significantly decreased
oh yeah
