Good. But work on throwing it up more. And kinda locking the landing knee isn't actually a bad thing. Just don't break it. It kinda reminded me of landing a 540 back when I was working on them. But my advice isn't actually needed because.... well... you just did it. Be happy.

Haha that looks exactly like my first hypertwist (which in fact I learned from standing before a regular takeoff).

So you can see:

First Standing Hypertwists (http://www.matthewswartz.com/videos/hypertwist_standing_first.mpg)

Best Standing Hypertwist (http://www.matthewswartz.com/videos/hypertwist_standing.mpg)

See, my first ones look just like yours. The second one was kinda low but my landing was better, still...

Now that was like 2 years ago or something, I can't even hyper of any kind anymore. I'd suggest just keep practicing it though, something I never did enough and suffered because of it. Always keep trying to get your twist higher and faster.

Yeah I know haha!

Oh and Andy, you mean DIDN'T. Those are incredibly old clips. I'm not in the habit of doing good btwists anymore, much less a crappy hypertwist. Whenever I relearn it I'll be breaking down my technique a lot more, believe me. Those are just thrown for the sake of trying to land it, not to mention those being some of my first ones and I never landed anymore than 6-7 in my whole life, standing and regular combined haha.
