Well, I hadn't done any actual animating in a while. So I decided to make this.
I am quite happy with it. The idea for it popped into my head yesterday.

It seemed that right when he hit the ground his legs fell... Not a good thing... Let them fall slowly.

I did let them fall slowly at first, but it seemed to lack force.
So I removed a frame. Do you know how I could show force while still having the legs fall slowly?

Maybe have his legs falling forward and his face on the ground. Then have him slide abit and his legs going towards the head, then when he stops his legs slowly fall down.

Good idea, I'll use that in an animation soon and see how it turns out.

Do it slower, but have his legs bounce up a little, that should show some force.

Add more frames.
That looks like 5 symbols moving around >_>

It's not very impressive, the speed of it made it lack all detail. To me it just looked like you drew a stick on a skateboard, tweened it 10 frames, made the stick fall in 2 frames and then had him slide.

Pretty crappy for a gravity and easing test.
