Walkthrough:

This is a really grrrrreat trick. It is very impressive and not to difficult to get it down. Here cross your left leg over your right and make sure you keep your body facing to the side.
My left leg has got to do all the work here. Ready... Set...
Push! I just pushed hard off the ground and my right leg is beginning the motion to get over to the left side of my body.
Here my right leg is in position and is beginning to perform the hook kick and my left leg is performing the bottom part of the scissor kick.
My right leg just finished the hook and my left is finishing the bottom part of the scissor. Keep your legs relaxed but move them very fast.
This is the best picture in the world. My left leg is now tucked so that my round kick will look hot. My right leg is folded ready to perform the round kick.
And there it is. The round kick is above my head and fully extended. Make sure to fully extend your leg or it will look sloppy. Also, this is where my left leg is starting to open up for the ground.
My kick is recoiling and I'm still preparing to land.
Here my round kick is completly recoiled and my left leg is bent. You need to bend your knee so you don't die.
This trick is really fun and looks very impressive. You'll find people will say to you: "Whoa, does it shoot any farther" and you'll respond: "No, I'm sorry that's as far it goes." It'll will be similar to that.

Similar Tricks: Advice:
  • Keep your legs relaxed, not stiff.
  • Jump hard off of the left leg.
  • Concentrate on one thing at a time - scissor then round kick.
  • You have to do the round kick in the air, but remember the recoil can be done when you land. In other words, you don't have to land with both feet at the same time.
