I had to have it.
This was one of my goals when I dived into tricking last summer. I didn't start working on it until I was well along my way and closer to the end of the year in September of 2014.
But I didn't just want to do a Double Leg, I wanted a double leg that could kick someones face off. A true kicking double leg...Old School.
None of that new hybrid garbage. No offense, they look cool and I still do them, but It's not what I wanted.
I actually played around back and forth between the Hybrid and Pop 3 take off.
The hybrid is more of a side flip with a Quarter Torque turn early. It has the same look as the Jumping Double Leg but is more of a flip then a Kick. I had progress in Both Areas, But I can throw the Pop 3 version on pretty much any type of ground and the other I can only do on spring floor.
Eventually I realized that I was looking for a Double Leg that emulated the Capoeira Style but that took off like a Pop 3.
How I developed this trick?:
- I made sure my Pop 360 Outside Crescent had a nice solid set up from the side
- I worked on small tid bits of the move such as keeping the leg together
- I reviewed and reflected on every training session to see what made each session a success or a failure and thus my failures became successful.
- I Worked on my Feilong Kick and got that solid
- Watched and reviewed frame by frame The Double Leg performed by Trickster that I believe had superb technique, and copied them (Jujimufu, Cory DeMyers).
- Started landing my Feilong on two legs
- I looked at what i wanted to kick and cut it in half with my Calcified Ankles!!
- I didn't get this move down until I began throwing it randomly at trick sessions well after my main Tricking Season.
That all being said. I am extremely happy with my progress and I cant wait to incorporate it into combos in my summer session.
Enjoy the Video Montage of my progress. See if you can tell the difference between the two types of Double Legs. I still need to fix my left leg, it likes to bend a little.
