Looks alright to me. What is interstig with crawford is what moves first out of the blocks… and no it is not the hand!

Looks like he’s 3 steps to the front and 4 to the back.

Hey, just like me :o I’m not doing it “wrong” after all :smiley:

its because his shins are extremely long. that’s why even though the blocks are really far back, the angles are still perfect.
