do i need to twist my hips half way through the rotation?
because it seems like my right leg got stuck in the air when my left one is coming down .

you need to dip UP.

you gotta twist your upper body and wrap

fuck the dip, i dont do it haha, but do it and see if it helps, bro the only thing wrong was the fact u did not use ur arms to twist what so ever.

:ogre:

you are delaying the kick a bit too much. delay until you have reached peak height then rip your arms into your chest.

Your lead in is correct+
You dip Very well which i give you (2 Extra) Dim-sims :)

Now the jump off your right leg is sufficient and gives plenty of height to execute the trick!
But looking at the slow-mo part i see the following.

00:15/00:16 >It looks like the B-kick float which is correct but the problem! Your Arms are still out like a B-kick! you need to have your arms bent and tucked in around your chest!

00:16/00:17 >Your arms haven't given you any upper torso rip! Your legs are correct but due to not riping your upper body around the 360 rotation your left on the last 90 facing the distance and not the ground! Your legs are ready to land but cant because your upper body isn't facing the ground!

Now to summarize this: you need to bring your arms in straight after you jump off your stomped leg(last leg you jump off with) then rip the 360 in the upper body! this will even sometimes let you spot your landing and have time for your legs to catch up!

i would say when you start spotting your landing you will get this trick Easy / as your lead in is already very very good!

How ever don't be worried about landing with your hands down if you do! just do anything to get the feeling of the left leg planting under you on the ground!


Anymore questions ask me on msn! good luck! go do it!

Not a problem! i got a mate today go from crashing to having one of the most floaty beautiful controlled B-twists i have ever seen simply by telling him to jump! i am sure you get that upper twist and you too will have an amazing twist!

Goodluck with it tommoro!
