If are spinning add like 90 or 180 degrees and you land on the opposite foot is that called hypering or is my definition wrong? I'm just made this induction of knowing what btwists and hypertwists are, but is there more to it?

And landing on 2 feet when you would usually land on one (such as bkicks and aerials), is this called brandying it? Well isn't brandy specifically an aerial landed on 2 feet? Is there a general term?

hyper = landing on opposite leg by means of over-rotation.

ie - hypertwist (hyper btwist)
- pop hyper 900 (hyper pop 900 kick)
- hyper aerial (please dont try this, it will most likely hurt)


and no... landing on two feet when you should land on one is not 'brandying' its called 'not' doing the trick with a missleg...

edit: and no... a brandy is not an 'aerial landed on two feet' its a 'roundoff with no hands' :)
