Give me a couple of days to get my legs back into shred shape, and I'll get a vid of some dada's for everyone.

I probably can't do 4 alternating Dadas OR ducking clippers, but I'll capture a couple and see what you guys think so I can learn them with proper form/style/dexing etc.

Which is coming first?

I swear I'm keeping this one going until the new one is up.

How about now?

WOW!! So much better!! Those look great. Only one more thing I can think of... try to have your foot lead toward the trick, rather than your knee. Your knee is getting over the bag before your foot, creating a bit of a little bit of a whipping motion, which might cause knee pains eventually. It's prolly just down to prefferance at this point, but I like legovers to be more solid. Think about it from my perspective, watching you in a video, or if you're looking at yourself in the mirror. For legover set from your right foot, your left knee is moving toward your supporting leg faster than your foot. IMO, you'll look more in control if you focuss more on leading the rest of your leg FOOT FIRST. I guess: more like an illusion. HOWEVER, keep this to a minimum as well... it should be really subtle, because you don't want to be hurting your knee from the other side either. I would reccomend that you dex the bag either foot first, or with your foot and knee perfectly in line... I like it best if the foot is just a little bit ahead of the knee. ...I don't remember whether I do them like that or not, but that's the ideal (IMO).
Edit: In fact, you're already doing this too on most of your legovers anyway. Just something to be aware of...

Also, props on your consistency!! Now that it's not competition anymore, it makes sense to do more than 4. It's a really good idea to absolutely KILL all your tiltless triks and skool them until you can do 50 or 100 + on every try. Tons of legovers b2b is surely a good drill.

Off topic, but: A good drill I got from the Cleaver is ~ pdx mirage> near butterfly> osis> rpt

I dunno if you're already doing it yet or not. If not, get started! It rocks.

RawSko is definately right...legover should be more footy than knee-y. It'll make them faster and more controlled. Think of them more like a around the world maybe....? But GOOD JOB, alternating legovers is very commendable.

Yeah, the last one was really hippie. But thanks for all the help guys, I feel way better about legovers now.
