[Zappinglaser]

i actually do frontflips too :D check my facebook

Sigve løndal

and yes... I land on my feat

[TobsnnsboT]

you got to hold your hands under the knees and pull out your legs so its a dolphine flip and so rotation is easier and landing, its better for beginners

[youkissedmymom]

i dotn find frontflips scary. its just a simple run and tuck. i agree with the guy at 1:26 and that B twists are harder.

[LeeCrulley]

dont bitch out....?

[General22]

good shit man lol

it's funny becuz i always say to myself "don't be a b***h just do it" hahaha i thought i was crazy 4 that but i guess im not alone

[JMRabil675]

dont bitch out..

that works lol

I just think to my self: "just do the damn flip"

[zerrouz]

you need work so hard !!!!!!!!!!!

[bboycanister]

was this you first try? and how much do you think the run helps cuz ive been trying without much motion

[18armyboy]

i think you need to work on your front flips but you b twists are looking good

[whickedshell]

i can do front flip and land on my feet, but i can't overcome the fear to do a back flip

help please ^^

[xXCrAvEXx]

same here.., always have the fear that i may land on my back help us please

[whickedshell]

@xXCrAvEXx to land on your back is not that bad

the neck and head area thats what i fear most =s

[zelinski23]

go and try them with your friends being around them should hype you up a bit it did for my and i landed on my knees twice and bailed onto my head but didn't hurt because i was pumped

[whickedshell]

hmm yeah but i once landed on my headon a trampoline with my back flip en it felt like my neck snapped... i still do thm on trampolines and in swimming pools. i know i cna do it but i think my fear is gunna slow my spin down .. =S

[rutofan]

Lol your friends were right dont bitch out just do it

[skullter3]

nice nice i wanna try :P

[SoranobodiesRoxas]

well one trick at a time like back flip

is way easier than a front flip but the only thing holding you back is fear

I recommend going to a pool or a gym with a foam pit keep attempting until you build enough courage to try it with a spotter after that just bite your lips and go for it and hope to live and if you make it the adrenaline will keep you going breaking more barriers after that in tricking the thing you need the most is Balls

keep it up

[SoranobodiesRoxas]

yo shawn u should check out my vid of fail attempts at tricking

i was scared too but now that i past that barrier it feels great

trying more advance tricks now XD

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

how did you pass that barrier? im still stuck there

[ryv182]

@Muzicsoulrhythm im at that barrier to you just need to risk it and dont be afraid to fall just practice practice

[chaccochank]

@Muzicsoulrhythm I know right xP,I can only frontflip your should do a vid of you doing a sideflip.

[lvanCMH]

the other day i tried and i landed on my ass and it really hurts and i cant sit down ==lll

[JohnKneeBoi]

lol friggin dz at the end "oh shit he shut me up" xD

[LaoBoi12]

i need tips or tutorial on b Twist??

[TheBboyKonvict]

Nice job Shawn! :)

[trinibwoi1]

was your first attempt on a soft surface or a hard surface and how did u just get over the fear

[brownguy360]

i can do a back flip but lol front flips r hard

[Mozart282]

Wow, fabulous job!!

[probingzon]

On your b-twist try tucking in your arms to clean up the rotation

[AntuanPace]

im a complete BEAST at front flips but b-twists? back flips? i'd KILL myself! lol

im gonna learn tho!

[kaushi200]

like what you did here,i hit the grass today

a friend of mine practiced handsprings and i attempted b-twists..i'm getting better :P

[RookieN08]

if a person like you learn kungfu , it will be a piece of cake haha

i love it. You are a strong man.

[Ichirou88]

hey dude one more thing on your b-twist...jump up when your about to twist...it should give you the height you're looking for....you might also wanna try and learning corks and cheat gainers

[Ichirou88]

When did you guys start tricking...lol pretty sick

[jfcstyle]

i can say the front flips are decent.

try looking up and jumping up more

just a suggestion

[ReFleXFnatic]

Damn man I'm getting scared a lil bit just looking at him do a front flip lol.

[HamSTAB0i]

btwist isn't bad man hahaha

i approve ;D!

[iamgamer1994]

yo if u get those bad boys can u make tutorials for them. jus wonderin. cus i learned flares and mills off ur vids aka u make some good shit

[irongamer221]

try 3run tube they have tutorials for that kinda stuff since its a parkour channel and they're good tuts.

[iamgamer1994]

yea ive seen them before. dude parkour is so fun

[antz2811]

awesome. keep up the work :P

[elektrik989]

b-twists were dope...i need to build teh confidence to do a flip still...its annoying  -.-"

[KiddxSTFU]

Yeah true i get what you mean. thx for commenting back btw.

[droptozro]

fear is the only thing that will EVER hold you back when tricking... I learned how to do a backflip at one point, then fear took over again and it's like you forget everything you learned.

[limabean1218]

hahaha Dz talkin shiet in the background and then u made it. good shiet baby!!!

[Echo6Sofly1]

Nice, it shows practice makes perfect, im still tryna learn tha B-Twist tho..

[KevinLi89]

haha I guess shawn looked at the tips from my video :P

[RookieN08]

your front flip is nice and fast!

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

its missing a fast tuck. My body is open i dont like that

[Jouhonsson]

oh and one more thing you might want to say to every one watching is that you learn it by trying it - ofcourse you need to be careful and know your limits but you just got to go for it - and when you do it you get the feeling how it feels to do it and your muscle memory starts to remember it little by little!

[Jouhonsson]

Great! Nice b-twist! Flips are always kinda scary at first - but one thing that might help you is run fast, it gives you more speed and momentum - I mean instead of taking those fast and small steps run for it and then boom!

I my self find it easier that way.

5*

[bboymonk3y]

sorry to ask but, how front flips scary? I find backflip tucks scarier. :|..

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

in my opinion front flips are easier. its just committing. Once you commit its pretty easy from there. Once you go for it you already are half way into a front flip

obviously if you choke you land on your ass but thats the most common thing

[spagbog1q2w]

how come i never see you doing your own choreo's? you should post some up! and a tutorial on how to do it

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

Well this is the thing. I have choreo i have already made but i work under a studio and they have a strict policy of not sharing work. Students pay for the tuition there and i cant teach choreo online that they are paying for. maybe ill make something on the side but for now im too bz

stay tuned

[spagbog1q2w]

yeah that makes sense i didnt think about that. Thanks for everything that you've done already i do appreciate it - I'm just so eager to learn some choreo's but i cant find many on youtube that have tutorials on how to do them step by step.

Peace

[CapoeiraProdigy]

i think you got mad skill on your freestyle ability but you seem to have tucking problems / both ur b-twist and front tuck/flip. if you pause at 2:07 instead of a tight tuck its more of a L shape. Note: IMO its not as important to get that horizontal speed before you launch the front flip becuase then your just losing airtime and getting thrown foward. Try to slow down on the runway a little and concentrate more on your vertical and ur tuck.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

Yo bro that helped a lot. You have 720 b-twist? I want that. I know before i get that i need to clean my btwist but whats the trick? 720 btwist is a beautiful move dude. As for the tucking i know what you mean i dont like the look of my front flip but iw ill get it in a few months

[CapoeiraProdigy]

After i started tucking my arms close and tight to my body before i torqued over 360 i got more air on the landing. Only then was i able to attempt 720 b twists.. Corkscrews especially.. in order to get continuous corks you need a strong tucking Foundation. Hope this helps.

[CapoeiraProdigy]

Sean! uve been a great help to me.. id be honored to recipricate and possibly help you. Your B-Twist has a good parallel angle like your rolling over in bed in mid air = A+ however, it doesnt look like you are tucking your arms hard enough. right before you torque over 360 try -> tucking both arms kind of like at the end of a arm curl exercise / this will make your body more tight = as one / and allow you to spin faster = more air time to land.

[nitinbansal2006]

can u do a tutorial on a back flip? haha

[sethtaylor03]

hey you punch front, front tuck whatever you want to call it is not bad just punch hard when you jump, dont punch forward punch up. hope that makes since. i am a tumble coach at a gym so i hope that lil bit help kinda hard to explain via comment

[AznKarate0901]

if you ever save like 10 bucks you can go to a place with a foam pit. after that all fears will be gone ! ahaha thats what happened to me

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

I have access to a gym thats why i decided to start tricking. Sometimes foam pit will leave more dependency but everyone is different

[eriklikestoskate95]

i just started learning both of these ahaha i wanna try backflips but im to scared

[407KING11111]

damn its wierd im not scared to do front flips.when i do them tho i always fail...lol im to scared to do a Backflip even tho they say itsz easier than a frontflip

[gameguyhelper]

you ningas!!!!!! haha nice guys !_!

[KiddxSTFU]

Yo your like 1 of my dance heros but that isnt a front flip to be exact thats a front tuck lol.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

front tuck is the proper term. Every says front flip by default or if they dont know the terminology

[coloazn1]

'oh Shut me up" ^_^, nice vids shawn

[bbsfactor7x7]

for the front flip run a little less faster so u dont over rotate and block blocking helps alot gives u mad height so u can continue and uhh for the b twist run faster and when u do the set up swing your hands faster and delay the twist, jump delay it for a lil then twist and when u do the set up keep your chest up for maxmum height it realy helps for swing throughs doubles or just a nice ass b twist hope this helps :)

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

Thanks bro helpful tip i will keep it in mind

[deewzy]

hey good luck shawn keep it up mane : )

[dremysterious]

thats why shawn is the realist. even posts the messups just like jackie chan. haha

[1vt13oi]

sick vid, keep it up

[OWNEDmuch8o8]

you know backflips are easier then frontflips

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

yeap but front flip "seemed" easier when i started...and i got em.

[OWNEDmuch8o8]

haha yeah but backflip i guess is easy becuase u can just catch urself basically and yeah just dont "bitch out" lmao

[FifaM8Spain]

who's the guy who talks in Spanish??

[RAINintoTEARS]

lol yall funny, don't bitch out, don't bitch out. shut me up :D

[pr0ud2bap1n0y]

you're from sacramento, right? you should hit up rudy reynon, he's from capitol roots. that guy is ILL: both in tricking and in dancing. you can probably look him up on youtube

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

ive heard of him. i just met his homeboy kyle cordova and hes going to be teaching me. Ill learn from anyone it doesnt matter...i need the steps ill do the rest

[dylanross10]

you're getting to learn from kyle cordova!!!!! damn you lucky Shawn!

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

He works at the same studio as me do i'm going to pick his head as much as possible

[dylanross10]

have you ever heard any of his beats? you should do a freestyle to one haha!

[BboyMatz]

wow dude that was awesome i can do that b twist its actually not as hard as it looks seriously!

[disaznboibobby]

could you do a video for some tips to practice a backflip? cuz i'm really afraid i'm gonna break my neck if i try one lmao

[TeachMeProperDancin]

If you're afraid you'll break your neck doing backflips, why aren't you afraid you'll break your neck doing a frontflip? Truth is, you're more likely to break your neck doing a frontflip as you get less momentum. :)

For the record, Shawn can't do a backflip. Yet. :p

[PnoyBoi4Ever]

he's black....he'll eventually get backlfips

[TeachMeProperDancin]

Shawn's BLACK? You really gotta be colourblind...

[CeAzAr7]

pretty sure he's not...

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

im vietnamese and that was partially racist

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

i dont even know how to do a backflip plus there are so mnay tutorials for backflips (good ones)

[BetterBillieveIt]

only reason some ppl are afraid of flips is because they are afraid of pain

[acer48ace]

sweeeettttttt.maybe someday u should try goin for gainers, sideflips, or double legs. they're good 2 use.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

few months

[UrbanLegendZcreW]

Beatifull B twist...You are natural... xD

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

i wish i was a natural i am just trying to keep up with all the trickers im behind

[MrBrunoA]

wow. that was awesome :DDD

btw. was that Dz's voice in the end? :)

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

yes that was him talking shit also

[amARFeniX]

sorry forgot to add, if your scared for backflip get a spotter, it does wonders :)

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

i am just scared of that initial jump. I can't see where im jumping that is the scariest part. Its pretty much all mental and im scared. I know i gotta man up though

[amARFeniX]

omg you trick TOO?! :O

im learning frontflip at the moment with some of my friends too, something i found that helps me is to make sure you can spot the ground, and also jump as high as you can first, and then rotate, you seem to be rotating as soon as you jump I KNOW YOU CAN GO HIGHER!

:D

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

Thanks ya i just started tricking. I got inspired by some dope ass trickers. Other than that, i know the steps of front flip its just practice from here on out.

oh and not bitching out

[patryqsk8]

the tip is jump as high as u can and then make a rotation the same as quick as its possible .

[Spydamantac]

Don't bitch out lol, y'all silly. Maybe you can put up a B-twist guide? Respect.

[DreadCosmin]

There is one. Check the Tutorials Playlist.

[Spydamantac]
