I'm having trouble landing kongs.

CyanideSoda:
Ok now i'm starting to ge tthe landing down but i don't feel like i'm really diving. I feel like i'm doing a flying monkey, because my legs are tucked up almost the whole time. Is this right?

Flippusmn:
It's close, all you got to do is dive and straighten out and when you think your about to touch the object tuck up with your feet and toes pointing up and your knees at the ground while your head is looking at the ground. Thats when you tuck not when you jump. Try to make a video of yourself and I'll help you much more but after you understand this you should get the hang of them very quickly OK. ;)

CyanideSoda:
I'll make a video as soon as someone gets home so they can tape me.  So let me get this right, i tuck around the time my arms hit?

Flippusmn:
Yes basically or just before. Watch my video and you'll see when exactly you should tuck.  :) Slow it down and stop it to get a closer look at when I put my legs up and all that jazz. Look at it in steps.

kaos:
Don't get too caught up on doing specific movements, like a kong, the correct way.  Just practise flowing through your environment.  You may end up finding a way of moving that is most efficient for your body.  A long stretched out dive through the air may look cool, but it is not necessarily the most efficient mode of movement.
