hey guys, welcome to a new tutorial
today I will show you how to learn the running Webster
the Webster is a front flip
where you do not take off with both legs like for the normal front flip, but only with one leg
and the other leg is kicking up
to give you more speed for the rotation
so first of all you need to know which one is your jumping leg
take the strong leg forward
and as a first little exercise for the Webster
try to kick up the other leg
and in the moment you feel the momentum of your kicking leg that throws you up
jump up with the jumping leg
to make it a little bit easier
you can also use a little wall or rail
and lean on it when you jump up
with this exercise you can get a feeling for the take off
if that works out well
you ca start with exercise 2
it is the same movement like before
but now you have go down more with your upper body
and into a dive roll
this is good to give you a feeling for the connection of the take off and the front rotation
when you feel good with that you can start with exercise 3
this one is the front handspring
but to use it as an pre exercise for the Webster you will not do it with both legs
but with one leg kicking over like for a Webster
try to use the momentum of the kicking leg
to go over your body
run up, go with a big step into your jumping position
swing down both stretched arms to the ground
try to stay straight with your arms and your upper body
and do the Webster kick
to flip over
than also kick over with your jumping leg to give you more rotation
and try to land on both feet
when you have problems with the front handspring
you can also try to do it with the support of a little crash pad, rail or round wall
and roll over it
if all the exercises have worked well
you are ready to do the Webster now
I think the Webster off an obstacle is more easy
because you don't have to care much about jumping up and so you can focus more on the rotation of the flip
I already have a tutorial for that Webster on my channel
it is very helpful to do that one before the running Webster
if you haven't watch the standing Webster tutorial you should check it out as well
for the running Webster
there are 3 very important things to focus on to get enough hight to do the flip
first of all you have to do a big step and place your jumping leg in front of your body to jump up
that is important to be able to jump up instead of jumping to the front
when your body focus is leaned to much to the front
you can not push yourself up anymore but you will jump to the front instead of getting hight
the second important thing for the Webster is
that you should not throw your arms in the direction of the ground
but swing them up behind
that gives you a push to go higher
and also gives you momentum for the flip
and the 3rd thing is to
stay upright with your upper body as long as possible
to be able to jump up as high as possible
and only when you start to rotate you should go down with the upper body as fast as possible
if you focus on these 3 things
you should be able to do a Webster
if you want to have a faster rotation
you can also grab the thigh of your jumping leg
and pull your chest to your thigh
with as much power as possible
to be able to jump more high
it is helpful to use a little kicker to jump up from it
a small increase in the ground
