Yeeeeeaaah. XD

[Siphin]

your not dipping for your b-twists.. and your not jumping on your backtucks..

[Sudrunk Monkey]

and I need to loose the mat.

FORCE myself to do the move 'cause no slippery soft cushion ain't gon' be there to save my sorry lil' butt.

dipiddy do da.

You could use more of a dip U motion. Let your torso drag behind a little when you swing that left leg out to place it, and start the dip earlier. Angle your left foot a little bit outward when you place it, you may or may not find the transfer of momentum easier. As always, your arms will help you loads, obviously for the twist part also for setting in a flip.

yeeaaah, I dinnut dip when I film this, and then noticed that strangely enough.

Let my torso drag? How does that work? I'm gon' try angling my foot, yeah, makes sense to try. Yes, my arms have NO idea what they're doing other than 'oh, twist?'

So Aye, I'm working on B-Twist and Backflip now. Those two is what I is focusin' on, and thanks for the advice. ^^

You'd be much closer to back flips, and probably have a b-twist, if you got rid of that dang 10 inch high mat.

[Sudrunk Monkey]

gotcha, and will upgrade to 3-no inch. ^_~

I think you can land a btwist somehow and the same thing with a backflip. You go forward nicely, don't worry! A lot of paople who just started have the same problems and it goes away with time and practice ;).

Btwist is a technically hard-to-understand move, and a backflip is more of a feeling move for me. You just have to force yourself to go up in a backflip first! Use a spotter it helps SO much and try to swing your arms a bit to the front instead of backwards.

Yeah, but don't just rely on that your tricks will get good by themselves, you have to really think about what you need to change and then work on it. I was missing this point all the time...... thats why i'm still jumping like 2 metres back in my 7 month old backflip, god damn it!

True. I shall remember this, my friend. ^^

for a dip your gonna swing your upper body down and across and then really lift! up as hard as you can jump and throw your back leg up all at once.. this will create a ton of upward motion and make you horizontal.. drill b-kicks to get used to the dip.

GOOD WORK KEEP TRYING
