Looks pretty clean imo. Try gripping a little more with that front foot and giving it some pop if you really want to whip it around, even to 6

Swing your arms like you’re setting a spin to get a stronger spin, you won’t have to flail as much to get the rotation around

Keep your arms lower when sliding so you can raise them a bit for lift without flinging them over your head. Otherwise pretty clean.

I feel like I should've popped off it more cause I almost slid off the rail early in the clip instead of digging in my front foot and pushing

The speed check right before the lip ruined the clip.

Front 4 looks dialed tho, try doing it out on your opposite foot.

I probably say this 4 times a week. Set the spin with your core and your lower body. Swinging your arms will get it around but setting with your whole body and really getting that heel pedal set will clean it up.

otherwise good work

After rewatching you don’t actually wind your arms that much you’re just doing the magnus. Pretty clean just set the pedal a bit harder and look with your head. Sry for 2x post

Looks pretty sick, got some Wabs kinda sauce in there. As someone said, speed checks right before the lip honestly kill clips sometimes. Never used to notice that but the older I get the more I notice them and hate them
