Much better than I last took a look. Now it has weight!
Noticed one little problem though. His left foot seems to slide just before he does the back flip...

Thanks KB, the left foot dose slide but thats him swinging his foot from the back to get momentume for the flip. The right leg stays plated.

Kurt, that looks great!!

Like Kbrown, I'm not 100% convinced by the anticipation of the somersault. It's a little too long for my tastes.

Is the problem with the left-foot that it is doing two things that are somewhat indistinguishable? The first is coming out of the roundhouse kick, the second is launching the somersault. I feel it may be better if after the roundhouse, the character takes just a moment to compose before the somersault. Maybe have him in give a quick glance to one side or over his shoulder.
