HOWTO: The Gary Ip B-twist

[Spacey]

So I just noticed Gary Ip does a really unique B-twist at 0:13 in this sampler

Any tips on how to do a b-twist like that or is that even a b-twist?

[shengoikee]

bad link but im pretty sure you're referring to his rodeo btwist thing. it's cool. =)

[Spacey]

Link fixed. but yeah it looks like some kind of raiz twist thingy with a b-twist takeoff

[shengoikee]

actually yeah, he is basically just doing a btwist/raiz hybrid.

[Inkrepid]

Haha just ask towels. He used to do it all the time, only not on purpose, and it looked gay. Its fixed now though.

[shengoikee]

no, dont ever ask towels haha

[broertjetim]

looks great
when you throw the leg up think of it like a raiz.
throw your head back en keep your back arched during the whole move.

That double cork came outta nowhere haha.

all u gotta do...is arch ur back while ur in the air...

[Skilzat85X]

There is absolutely nothing raiz-like about it in any way it would be executed haha.

These are disorienting. The thing you'll have the most trouble with when learning rodeo btwists is getting a stable one-footed landing.

The trick is all in the stall and how hard you kick your back leg. Get a very GOOD HIGH ARCHED butterfly KICK, and practice rotating while maintaining the same body shape. Modify as you see fit.

At 00:16 I do what inkrepid was talking about.

Do a btwist, bend your knees, arch you head and look the way you came. Is the gist of it. I couldn't get anywhere with it tho, ie unS/Table for me

[Kyukodo Gaz]

I can do em, the double foot landing is the choice though, like Dave C says, it's very difficult to get a one foot landing.

edit: sorry, tips.... just drill your btwist until you are floating them and start the rodeo after you have kicked your leg up, that way you do not lose height on your twist.

[GSimp]

Hmm this got me thinking, how about something like a btwist full? A butterfly twist, but you rotate on two axis...I guess it would look like something crossed between an aerial twist and a btwist. I vote sessh to try it to see if it's safe.

it looks so mini!! lol!!

[Tony Nguyen]

they are not too difficult, i was workin them a few weeks ago, the only thing about them is that they feel really weird, and u will prolly crash a good few of them before u land some, specially if u wanna actually grab.

[Flowers]

just try to grab one ankle and kick your landing leg out
