180 twist

[Bertie]

Hi, this is my half twisting backflip. I didn't get much of a response on the other forum, so any tips. Also can anyone tell me how to get more rotation to turn it into a full twisting back. BTW, I did it so it would be a half back TUCKED not a LAYOUT. O.k. Its meant to be tucked.

BTW: WHEN YOU GO INTO GOOGLE VIDEO; CLICK ON THE LITTLE ARROWHEAD NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE VIDEO AND SELECT ORIGINAL SIZE OTHERWISE IT GETS REALLY PIXELATED. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-7694736084083783144

Anyone?

Don't be a pussy and just twist, instead of letting your jump just carry you into a 180 rotation.


Why the hell do you type in such large font?

HELLO LOL

why'd you make so many threads as well? haha

not much of a trick = not much of a response. What do you want to hear exactly? congrats on landing and all but go for fulls, noone cares about halves

Tips on getting more responses.

1. Don't type in such a large font with colors. It's annoying to read. (Unless your writing a guide)

2. preferrably don't be the first and second post. Wait for someone to see it. (If it's off the first page then you can bump it)

3. People will gladly help people they know, so post more in other forums and threads not relating to your tricking. Once people get to know you, they will gladly help. (Notice the response when Juji posts for help)

4. Give other people comments and tips. This goes with #3. If you want to get tips and comments, then give them.

5. Be a tad more humble. Yeah I know a half twist is a milestone to you for tricking. Not alot of people focus on just Half Twists so your response will be fewer.

A good time to change font or color would be a closing up statement to leave the reader with a sense of closure to emphasize the sum-up sentence. Like this.

(Also, the whole speel about it tucked or not is a bit odd. No offense but it doesn't look too controlled. It looks like a mix between tucked and layout like you just whipped it *Which is ok*, but to land that and then state "O yeah, I totally meant to do that" is a bit uncool)

O well, hopefully you'll listen to my advice.

Block more, set better, tuck tighter, stall longer, and follow Towlies advice.

rofl. pretty crazy way to post. but anyways, if u want to twist more, unlike what thereid said, dont tuck tighter, lay it out. also, ur scared to pull. in other words, ur not pulling ur twist, and i can see the lack of confidence. stay straight, twist the full, then pike down as hard as u need to if ur layout isnt good.

i quite enjoyed towlie's essay, and i agree =]
