rust buildup

I've been getting worse at pivot, because I've been animating less. and I've been animating less, because I animate worse. I'm stuck in an unbreakable chain, got any tips? here's proof of my rustiness:
EDIT: it turns out, it's better than I thought, but it's still a piece of jizz. anawayz, if you click on it, it doesn't have as much lagg.

lots of help is needed.
the basics: easing, physics, anticipation, realism, foot placement, stiffness, flow

practice ALL of them. watch videos, read zed's easing tut, look at higher rank animations, and PRACTICE


turn the stick before he flies backwards, and have the other sticks moving, make it look like the main stick pushed off the ground better by planting his foot, and bending his knees.

I used to have all (or at least most) of those things, I'm trying to watch all those pro movies and gain something, but I seem to learn nothing except if it's a tut. thanks for the help

oh, btw, they're like training dummies, they won't move. =P
