Nice Job PH3
I can see you're playing close attention to timing. Most animators animate everything to quick, which is ok for cartoony stuff, but looks like you're going for a more real look.
The thing that sticks out the most is the very end, (other stuff is just nitpicky). Your character doesn't seem to have enough momentum to propel him through the very last 90 degrees. Also, when your character comes to a full stop, it stops to abruptly. Particularly the node that drives the whole body. Flattening the translate and rotate keys on the last frame would probably fix that.
But again...your attention to timing and weight really shows.
