don't mind the insanity, she was teasing me and I was so close but always messing up so I kind of lost it...a little...<.<

Any tips to keep it going or make it even better? Let me know if I'm doing anything obviously wrong that's hindering my b-twist, other than that, enjoy the madness.

Slightly odd but nice!!!

[Snoski]

Congratulations. You seemed quite happy :tongue:

[Augenatic]

DAng man you're weird hahah.. Nice b-twist though, much better than my first one ^___^

[Kou]

I had technically landed ONE fluke on sand last year, but since then it went to shit. Finally started doing the drills again, watched Dave C's tutorial, and BAM! lol but thanks guys

[Augenatic]

Dude why haven't I seen any footage from you before? You have some extremely nice aerial variations and flips ^__^. Clean kicks too.

[Kou]

Bah, I put some vids up here or there but people ignored my last thread and it kind of died the same night I posted it ^^;

and I just learned those aerial variations this month X_x working on an aerial twist >D

[Augenatic]

Haha ^__^. And the aerial thing is actually awesome, I just got my aerial some days ago and I used like 8 months on getting it right :tongue:.

[Kou]

Well what kind of aerial, gymnast or tricker style? The variations I have are from my gymnast aerial (which I'm better at) and it took me about a year or two before I started doing variations off them after learning how to do it. There's as many technical things to pay attention to in gymnast aerials as there is in a b-twist

[ChrisMack]

Fucken yeah!! haha

I don't know actually, I can only do it from a hook kick, but my legs go straight over my head. Actually, I was trying to do c720-btwist, but I accidentally did a cartwheel instead, and got much more height out of it than I used to. So, I tried stepover hook - aerial, and I didn't touch the ground with my hands, which was the first time ever for me to do that haha. Then I tried a few times and landed ^_^.

awww, the spin set up with the b-twist..similar to this..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ6myHfNN7c, it gives you some momentum to spin:)...um, its a nice start man, use your arms more and it should look awesome...i liked how happy you looked when you landed it, awww..the feeling of a new trick landed:)

[slik]

FUCKEN YEAH! :tongue: Oh the joy! :smile: Nice one, man :good:

[Shaian]

I don't recall teasing you...just..being scared of you when you started getting all squeaky O_o Anyway, good job on the b-twist XP

[Kou]

Yea...true, sorry for freakin you out, I guess the adrenaline was getting to me X_x lol

and thanks a lot, everyone, for the support and laughter, means a lot. I'll work on using my arms next time around, it's just weird because it doesn't really feel like I'm doing it sometimes...how do you tell if it's horizontal or not after landing it without having to look at the tape? >.<;

Then it's most likely a trickster aerial where it looks more like a sideways cartwheel with no hands or a really super high butterfly kick. The variations I know for the aerial are more for the gymnast aerial where you drive your heel backwards up and over you in a straight line.

Nice man! Haha I like the enthusiasm in the vid : D

[biyak]

fucking hell i wrote a big response and then my firefox died -_-'

again!

congrats man! ^___^
man! put some effort into that!@# you don't need to hope gravity will help you!
(because it wont -___- ) be tight throughout the whole spin !
use force all the goddamn time!
in the setup! the lunch! the twist! and the landing! use power!@#
and drill till you die!
^__^ im sure youll be able to hyper soon and round! Good Luck ! and good job man!@

edit : look at your right hand! your not doing any thing your starting the motion but then you just leave it there and its blocking your twist! tuck it in hard, for fast spin :P and no interruption :}
