Now that you've mastered the initial flip, it's time to add some sneaky flair. Practice sliding into the landing to create a smooth, seamless motion. Remember, the goal is to look like you meant to do it.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. Shift your weight onto one foot, and let the other foot follow naturally. As you transition, keep your knee straight and your ankle locked. It's all about the subtle slide.
Repeat this process several times to commit the movement to muscle memory. With practice, you'll be sliding into landings like a pro. Don't get discouraged if you stumble – even the best of us have had a few tumbles (or two, or three).
