yea nah mate those legs gotta stay straight. one thing that helped me learn them was to remember to detach your upper and lower body. if you're spinning a 3 to the left and doing opp nose (which is standard) with your right hand, lead your rotation with your upper body. you will notice that as your legs are slightly behind in the rotation, it becomes much easier to reach to your opposite nose, as you now have a little bit of twist and diagonal reach. straighten your legs and lift your toes/flex your ankle as much as you can and it should be right there.
