The misty, the trick i practice the most, yet i get further and further away from getting it. I can cork 7/9 comfortably with good technique and land at the same place i took off of.

The story with off axis 5s (bio,misty, rodeo) is different. Here are some, ill be happy for some elaboration on what they are:

I cant really visualise misty that well at this point. It was my first off axis trick back in july and it looked like this:

Im alright with frontflips, but almost all of my off axis tricks (except when i do spinny cork) have some backflip in them, even when i think they dont. Feels like my sideflip is messed with a backflip in my mind. This is an attempt from today:
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/1100081/IMG-2278-movHere is a misty from 16 september (no idea how i did it i dont remember):
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/1100084/IMG-1572-movIf yall can help with any sort of drills or things to practice so i can fix the thing where i always do a backflip in whatever off axis 540 i try and help for the misty it will be great. Or maybe i should just spam frontflips until they get as comfy as my backflip and cork, since they feel weird for me. Sideflip is pretty much impossible for me, ive tried it but i of course did kind of a 90 to a backflip.

Do a 180 frontflip and try to do it that you start like you would a sideflip and do them more and more like a misty maybe. I dont know how to explain how to learn a trick like misty or sideflip i learned it so many years ago but i know its frustraiting to not be able to do a trick you think you sjould be able to land. But it seems like youre going more like a bio try to do it more flipped and forward and then progress maybe

I often find myself feeling like bios and Misty’s are set and feel very similar, my biggest difference is whether your feet go above your head or not. But yeah misty is essentially a front flip well doing a 180, bio is more of a 360 off axis rotation but you lean forwards. For rodeos that’s a completely different set imo, you’re going backwards, where misty and bio are forwards. It’s hard to explain for sure but I hope that helps

Jump up high and be patient, no need to throw it so quick, wait til you're well off the tramp to start flipping. Make sure you're flipping forward, a misty is a spinning front flip so start with flipping the right direction. Buckle the seatbelt, as you throw yourself forward bring your right hand down from your right ear to your left hip. Sometimes I like to imagine flipping/rolling over something, picture yourself running up to a table or something and rolling over it on your back. Boom misty 5

This, looks like you’re rushing the set. Just chill a bit more and pop a bit higher

When i jump and i am patient i kinda get freaked out tho and i dont flip forwards, i do more of a 90 to backflip to 90.

Also did any of the tricks i do look like a bio or rodeo?

Well if you read my previous post, these two are very similar and imo the difference is where your feet are at, bio feet should be like parallel with your head, misty should be feet over head

Yeah a couple in there looked somewhere between bio and rodeo. Try doing some misty sets, where you do half the flip onto your back and then pop the rest of it around to your feet. Misty set youll want to do a bit of a frontflip but land on your back 90 degrees to the side, and then continue the flip up to your feet and land at 180
