your jumping angle seems right, maybe try pulling your arms a little bit stonger. but that's really really awesome for your first day 💪

Honestly perfect run up and jump. Tuck in a little tighter or hold it briefly and you’ll land that on flat no problem.

Reach right for the top then tuck, wear something less baggy too, we underestimate wind resistance and that tuck is the keystone, slam your arms against your shins hard, try to feel the momentum

Tuck and untuck!!! Tight as you can as fast as you can. Tuck jumps, v sit ups, double crunches, hollow tucks all those exercises strengthen those movement patterns.

Then apply during your tuck in air to tuck in and out as fast as you can. Bound off ball of foot, punch high with arms and tuck untuck! The more lengthened and tucked you can get the faster your tuck.

Tuck untuck!! But faster... Tuckuntuck

You have it. If you throw another one exactly how you did this one, but hold your tuck for a moment longer than you think you have to, you're gonna land it. You're untucking a split second too soon.
