Actually looked pretty clean, and I almost thought you overrotated.

Don't mind if it's landed or not. You are gonna go out and stomp it a hundred times, because you got it. Don't worry :)

keep your knees tucked up a little more, then go for the grab. your rotation was good though.

Yea you got it. Sick dude and keep progressing. Getting 7's under your belt opens you up to a whole new bag of tricks.

You definitely had it, it was sketchy but that doesn't really matter.

kinda for the person cuz maybe all his friends said he landed but he wanted a second opinion to start bragging/adding it to his bag of tricks

Landed but a little on the sketchy side. That was sick for a first 7!

Your arms kind of fell behind you which was what fucked you up. Your body should spin as a unit in the air, you want everything to be moving at the same speed. If you look at your body when you took off, your arms and shoulders got a little ahead of your lower body. If you can be a little more patient in your set (either set it later, or more gradually starting at the same time), you'll have it perfect. Patience is everything.
