The second again...

[Cymatrelic]

So, posting vids here and getting some help from you guys Really has helped me the last few times with my tricks, so here we go again:
I´ve actually got all the basics down except the Btwist, which is why I´m here.:tongue: These are my first attempts and they don´t look too good. I noticed that I have to kick my leg up higher, but I don´t know what else I´m doing wrong. I just uploaded the vid, so it could be that it doesn´t work yet. Here it is:

Like always: Advice needed and appreciated.:smile:

You're spinning to early.

You need to dip down, and then jump UP. Stall for a split second (as your body gains height), then spin.

Less Than Dan gave a useful tip whereby you should spot the ground as you takeoff: in other words, take time out to LOOK at the floor underneath you for a split second as you takeoff. As you do, you will gain height.

Then you spin.

You have a good spin, but not enough height. Otherwise, you could land it easily.

Thanks Shikayo! Actually sounds pretty logical. And I think that´s what Dogen also says in his center of gravity tutorial. I´ll try that tomorrow.:juji:

And you dont really take off too well. It looks as if your hesitating when you do the steps. Read Juji's tutorial on the butterfly twist. It can be found on the homepage of TT. And try watching some other youtube video's about the B-twist, because it can help you to improve.

I cant see your first vid, but it seems that your still spinning too early on the second one. Takeoff, then twist. I'd count it though, but you dont look completely horizontal.
Go into a bkick until your takeoff foot is leaving the floor, then twist. You arent making the flat spin(which is landing facing the way you came, which comes from stalling a lil)
Nice job though, i know itll look good in no time :good:

Thanks for the fast reply! :smile: This is the second session I´m working on my Btwist, so I´ve still got a ways to go, but I´m making progress!! Another two weeks and I´ll have it down pretty good, I hope.:smile: And the thing about spinning to early, that´s a problem with many of my tricks. I alays have to concentrate pretty much on stalling when I want to stall and then I forget something else and the move doesn´t work... but I guess it´s just practice.
Well, anyway... at last I´ve got all the basics down (Btwist sort of)!!!!!!!:tongue: :juji: After five and a half months!!! How long did it take you guys??:eh:

during your setup look backwards, this helps you get a more pronounced dip thus giving you a bit more lift, looks good other wise just keep practicing
