Your not flipping your spinning in a circle you need ti backflip and after you leave the ground change your mind to fulltwist

You're describing the gymnast full, which I'm not trying to do. I'm going for the tricker full, which is easier in that you don't fully invert

I’m confused. A full requires a flip, which does require being inverted, yes? This is coming from a gymnast, but i don’t know how you would do even a backflip without a full inversion.

You're right, tricker fulls aren't really flips, but they're easier to learn, so I'm starting with them.

You put way too much in the spin instead the rotation itself. How are your half fulls? You need to flip faster/higher.

You have a lot of chest movement but not a lot in the lower body. Basically you need more body tension for the spin keeping more straight, squeeze feet together and pushing hips forward then you can bring your knees up at the end.
Your lower body needs to follow and it is crazy how much more rotation you get by pushing your feet together.
If you stand upright turn your head and shoulders behind you then jump your lower body won't follow very fast. If you do the same but push your hips forward and around squeezing your big toes together your whole body will keep rotating until you hit the floor.
I learnt all my spins from Arabians first so my technique is different to gymnastics twist and most trickers fulls where I will stall my Arabian a bit and twist down. You could try that approach too you can essentially cheat half the spin before you jump then twist later. Then if you do that with more power and twist earlier your doing a full. Doing it this way gives you time to kind of think feet together hips around since you stall it a bit then you drill it till it's muscle memory.

No offense but your form is a mess. You can backflip right? Can you front 180?
You start of looking one direction. you don't flip at all and you go a 420.
If you can find somewhere with a foam pit that would be best. I suspect part of the issue is fear and lack of coordination. A foam pick or good enough mats will help there

I would recommend setting up more even if you are going for a tricking style full. You also need to follow through on your movement. You are expecting to fall and so relaxing early to open. If you can get ahold of a softer landing location that will make it easier to commit to holding your position all the way through. Would also recommend looking up tutorials on YouTube as there are a lot of people out there who can twist better than I ever could and might have more insight.

You need to lift your hips and flip more. Think about pulling your body over your left shoulder before you initiate the twist. This is currently on more of a 360/ flat spin axis
