being able to btwist and cork

[Matt R]

does not make you good at twisting. at all.


that is all.

[Skippy]

q f t

[maxx]

does being able to do pop moves make u good at it?

[pete_man_man]

being able to do a backflip does not make you good at flipping. so what???

what's your point???

[Less than Dan]

What if you can spin twice in the ai

[Skilzat85X]

I think you guys are missing the point.

You can do something, and then you can do something well.

[shengoikee]

kicks: lvl 6
flips: lvl 2
twists: lvl 28!

[Matt R]

nah i just got annoyed when i read that "are you good at kicks twists or flips" thread, and most people said that twists was either their best or second best section of tricking.

and these people could barely twist.

its like, being able to 540 and cheat 720 and saying your kicks were good

or being able to backflip and frontflip and saying your flips were good

of course it doesnt happen for those two.

how profound of you

[Less than Dan]

I understand your frustration, Sheep.

You happen to be one of the preimer twisters of our tricking generation. You've worked an assload to get where you are, and I understand that it's frustrating to have a bunch of people who not only have no idea of what their talking about, but haven't even reached the point off effort you've put in to twists.

[pete_man_man]

btw, landing a double cork doesn't make you good at twisting either

[Skilzat85X]

Twists are probably the hardest to get right. Even some people who you see double corking you can tell are just hucking them and hoping for the best that they'll land.

Haha we posted within the same minute

[Matt R]

btw, landing a double cork doesn't make you good at twisting either

i know, being able to combo and transfer momentum from a variety of different twistsss from different setups. and doing like them all? does haha.

dan hit the nail on the head.

i just feel like in today tricking, its seen as the "quick, easy and cheap" option

[shengoikee]

which are the hardest of all twists to you matt? (maybe a stupid question haha)

[Skilzat85X]

Wait what's quick easy and cheap? Corks and btwists? Or double corks? Or what haha.

[Matt R]

which are the hardest of all twists to you matt? (maybe a stupid question haha)

ermmm, missleg btwists present a challenge.

and i dont know what you mean skilzat, hah

[Skilzat85X]

Nevermind aha.

Maan I need to try double btwists I haven't tried anything new and exciting in so looong :sad:. Actually I haven't tried anything for so long cause I've barely gone practicing lol.

[kamikaze!]

I can btwist quite well, should I try to cork?
Is it much harder thn btwist?

[Matt R]

its highly different

can you backflip?

if you can backflip learn a gainer

if you can gainer, learn a gainer flash

if you can gainer flash now learn a slant gianer flash

now apply basic twsting principles to slant gainer flash and voila cork!

[simon]

do msl twist from a step thats how i do it.

[Matt R]

i can do it like that, if i know what your meaning.

i mean like round-bttwist or like scoot-btwist

or cork-btwist

that shits hard

[kamikaze!]

God damn, I was afraid you'll say that.
I hate this faggotish backflip. :dead:
The fear is eating me alive mate, Im so fucking scared of this move.

Yesterday I tryed to cork at my neighbours tramp, and almost landed a double lol. Its highly diffrent than on the grass I know, but the spinning stays the same...so maybe Ill try it on a plyo. Im not sure yet.

[Skilzat85X]

Truth be told Slant Gainer is much much easier than a regular Back Flip.

It's just that to get it you have to understand gainers which means you have to understand back flips haha.

Well I dunno they're all so easy.

[shengoikee]

slant gainers are complete hell!

bflips, gainers, gflashes are super easy and i can almost cork. but slant gainer HOLY SHIT

teach me to mcnasty

[Skilzat85X]

Just do a bkick from a gainer setup.

Don't even try to swing your leg into a flip, just sorta kick it up so when you turn around it will fly up behind you.

See like, stand up straight and then hold one leg up. Now hop and pivot behind you while holding your leg up in the same space it's in, notice how it is now behind you up in the air. Behind you like a bkick. So you can go up and turn and it will be like a bkick in the air. EZ

[shengoikee]

haha i twist by accident

[pete_man_man]

*wishes for a voice recording facility like in msn to say mcnashhhhhhhty in a humorous manner*

[simon]

same.

[TiVo]

bah....I still think i'm good at twists. hyper cork sideswipe tdraiz cork ftw!!

[kinetic]

I think that they meant for them, what they are personally good at. Not like compared to the community(at least thats what i meant).

[Kyle McLean]

so.....being able to 1080 makes u better at twisting? or kicking? so far all u guys have talked about about is horizontal spins? i think part of being a good twister is being able to spin vertically also...

[Source]

I agree with you somewhat but I can do vertical spins but suck balls at other twists. For example I can 1080 pretty comfortably but can't hit a double btwist with any consistancy and I can't even cork.

[Scalco]

yea I'm a terrible twister. As you can probably see from my double corks. I just twist like a retarted baby and hope for the best. Hey Matt R. do you have any tips on how to twist faster in corks? Cause I've always wanted to know if there was a way to help me with that. Thank you!
