I'm not sure what I am doing at the end. I think i'm kind of close and maybe a few tips could help me land it...

thx

You're close! Can you do a cheat 720 twist yet? It looked like that's what your second and maybe third attempts would have ended up as if you landed them.

you need to spin and kick with more intensity, whip the kick across real hard, and the coil up and spin, whipping around as hard as you can

snapuswipe is essentially a sideswipe wrap/gyro, your doing a 540 kick and wrapping, making a 540 twist gyro/wrap , id say get a very nice sideswipe first but i cant do the trick so i dunno really, i just know these are some keypoints scalco told me when explaining the trick to me, and he has the trick down better then anyone ive seen atleast...

[Dave C]

you don't really seem like you're that ready for this trick. You need a really nice, high, and FAST sideswipe and a cheat7twist will help a lot too. They're good attempts but you need to lay out more on the wrap, as well as wrap a little bit sooner and get your sideswipe layed back more

Good luck

Thx guys!
I know the road of the snapu is full of pitfall....

Gonna work on my cheat twist a bit I guess

Like the other have suggested...you are spending too much time on the "kicking" portion of the trick!!! It's important that the kick is there, yes; but it is essential that it is completed as fast as possible (hence Snapuswipe). It's the speed of the kick that gives the impending gyro it's speed. The faster and whippier the kick, the faster the spin afterwards...

Another thing...when you spin, don't spin with your body open. I'm sure you know that, and I'm aware how hard it is to get your legs together after a "swipe". Regardless, it's gotta be done...once that kick is finished, squeeze those thighs together and wrap like your life depended on it!

after the jump lean right back. arch like hell, try and look at the ground behind you even. this will get you that essential bit of height and inversion. then do what sessh says

yeah i might be the slightest tad closer than you probably only because of timing the spin and the fact i wrap with my legs together rather than open with bent knees, stangly if i do it into a foam pit my legs dont wrap together they go all bent like yours did lol probably something to do with the fact that im trying to travel to make sure i land in the foam, my attempts on plyo are better than into foam, think of the twist like a btwist (in the way your rotating with your body straight legs tight)
