>look better

There's no way to make risking breaking your neck like that good.

 

[headRush]

yea that is me, we were practicing on the sand with spotters and stuff, eventually we moved to the grass with spotters, i tried someting different in my technique and kinda realized it wasnt going to work in mid air...

I think you should focus on rotation at all costs

 

[headRush]

i was trying something a bit different, tried to rotate at the peak of my jump but my inital jump was a bit forward. ended up bailing.

if i had rotated i woulda landed on my neck during the rotation, probably resulting a hospital visit.

you know stuff like this ain't gonna make you much more popular with the ladies...

 

[headRush]

i dont need any help with the ladies.

You were trying to do a "gainer" means you do a backflip but jump forward in the process. Requires much more skill and training than regular jump-back backflip. Spine is pretty flexible, but still, try not to land in perfectly downward angle
