Ya your btwist is definatly fine
But it sorta looks like u twist right from the takeoff
Try getting up more before u spin
So u can come down and plant your leg

B-twists are so hard to give advice for because many people use different techniques. However, when it comes to landing a B-twist with the intent of using a swingthrough transition (or any transition for that matter), you can usually benefit from simply executing your B-twists with a ton of energy and aggression. Dig harder, dip smoother, leap higher, twist harder and faster, and eventually you'll feel that you have all the time in the world before you come back down to Earth.
From what I can see on the video, you can definitely B-twist, but are you trying to swingthrough into a gainer? Your landing strategy would be slightly different for a gainer as opposed to something like a moon kick or cork. Just curious so that I could maybe give you more detailed advice about the swingthrough.

I want gainer, but I have a feeling the first few will be moonkicks.
