Yeah I am aware of that I fell, but the landing isn't the problem. I usually dont land like that
The problem is more in the air, like.. it doesnt really look good in any way like it should!
Anything im doing wrong with the technique? ;o Can I have some tips?

Thank you, Martin. Oh yeah, and bad cam - Sorry about that too =(

i noticed your run up (or what i could see of it) was a little different...  if you could, could you get a video where you could see the run up?  because that's about half the trick, which makes it VERY important.

Oh, oki sir. I'll take my camera tommorow and film it. Didn't know that the run up was a important thing of the trick. I'll take a look at some videos of it and see how people do it. =)

Thanks for the reply!

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ3s4xdLm-I Is this how the run up should be?

yeah thats the 'correct' runup.  you can also do it fro a standing position and just dip and go.  the start of it is just to get the momentum and height you need to make your kick high, clean, and smoth.

Keep you chest up also when you throw the kick and point your toes(this is for it to look clean). Swa is right your setup is blah lol. Try from the stationary position first it's much easier. Have fun and good luck
