Replying to How to daffy? How to cossack? Oldschool tricks are hard as hell.

WaffleMaster:
Backscratchers.
Cossacks.
Daffys.
Spread Eagles.

People throw these around nowadays for shits and giggles, maybe even only once a year on Gaper Day.

But my god, these are harder than most grabs. They may even be harder than rodeo 9s, future spins, quad corks...

Can someone please for the love of god explain to me how to keep your balance in the air with any of these tricks?

Especially the backscratcher. Every time I try, my ass joints (why isn't there a name for them) bend along with my knees so it just looks like sitting. I can't keep my ass joints straight without becoming way off-balance.

I am, pathetically, not joking. Thanks NS.
