Im pritty sure there is a thread about this for give me, didnt have the time to look.
My problem is landing with my Under leg ( left leg) when i come out of the b-twist. I am setting up with my left leg, swinging my left leg back behind me, towards the left as I look over my left shoulder and go into my dip, as I launch (begin to take off) again i am rotating to my left shoulder also looking over it, as I rotate in the air (here comes the problem) I am not puting my left leg (what should be my landing leg) out, but rather wainting to land with my right leg, which leave me landing low, coming to a kneeling landing or just flate out CRASHING it. [My younger brother Sato say's when I land this way the landing is called a "hyper" or something like that dont quote me, he knows what he's talking about most of the time he did compete for a few years.]( its not that i dont want to put my left leg down Im tryin but my body is not feeling the whole "LEFT LEG LANDING"
what should I do.
P.S -> I wanna get higher to, Any good tipes for "BLOCKING"?

When you go into your dip your head should be pointing in the opposite direction as your left leg. You can keep your eyes focused in that direction, but you want your head facing away from the direction you're traveling.
Once you dip down, come you quickly and kick your right leg back as hard as you can (your head and back leg should raise up the same height).
Launch off the ground with your left leg and wrap your right arm tightly across your body while quickly turning your head to the left, looking over your shoulder.
As you twist into the air, keep pulling your left elbow back (as if trying to do an elbow strike), this will give you some added torque. When you come out of the twist, you have to move your left leg kinda to the side of the body. When you land, you should be somewhat in a kicking position...

Yes your brother is right, if you were to land on your right leg you'd be doing a hypertwist.

My hypothesis is that ZoVega absorbed Sessh's colourful post powers. Now he is cursed and doomed to a life of single-colour text creation abilities! OH SHIT

sessh is right, but u also wanna lift up ur chest after u dip, kick that back leg, and push that takeoff leg that will also be ur landing leg, AT THE SAME TIME!!
really this is how a btwist works and also gives u height. so push everything, lift everything and kick everthing SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!
peace

also theres no blocking in this move. i thought there was but actually, its about pushing, and lifting UP!!! just make sure that when u dip, ur legs r spread apart like a bow stance from karate. so really concentrate on the jump, not the twist. u gain height, goin upwards by lifting ur chest STRAIGHT UP! and KICK AND PUSH AT THE SAME TIME U LIFT UR UPPERBODY.
