Everything needed more anticipation and followthrough. And there was no real impression of momentum or weight. You need to do things like absorb the impact of the fall more, and push off from the board more to do the jump. I'd like to see more movement after he's back on the board at the end too, otherwise it's just far too stiff. And he could use more back joints. Also, what was the frame rate? It looked really slow and choppy.

Some of the positions weren't bad though, and it is a cool board.

I think the famerates a bit screwed up, but I like it. there arent many major faltse other than a little stiffness and some lack of easing.

I don't like it at all.
The hover board is very ugly [In my opinion]
The flip was good in the center , but when he finished it the bends back to its original state , You barely did anything with it but rolling it.
And then when he hits the ground ( I know that people say unnatural is good too but then we will get crappy animations like this ) It just needs to be more realistic , I wanna see the impact , the force of that , then smooth it and then make the other flip , And you can make him move better on the hover board.
Just think of it like a surf or skateboard , And rotate it a little bit more when its in the air.

Try to move every joint in every frame.
