problem keeping chest up in btwist!!!

[Badams]

Well the title says it all. I can't keep my chest up in my btwist and I can't figure out how. Thanks to this, I can't swing through.

I would really appreciate any tips on keeping my chest up for swing throughs in btwist! :punched: pleeeaasee.

I would have put up a vid but I formated my miniDV wrong so now i cant rip it.:dead: If anyone is willing to seriously help and needs a vid I will put one up faster.

I imagine this is due to a curse alot of people have learning b kicks, everyone looks down.

In your B twist so long as you take off without staring at the floor first, then you spot the floor but don't stay god damn staring at the floor I don't see why your chest would stay at the floor. Also in general it's ok to have your chest a little down if you're about to s/t, so long as you throw your arms up and then open upz.

Compare your B twist frame by frame with your favourite B twist, see where you go wrong compared to them. I don't get why more people don't do this =\

If you keep your chest low...you're screwed. Hahaha!

It took me 10 years to get the Btwist, and I set super bad habits in learning it. After some advice from Gdong, I finally GOT it. Unfortunately for me, those habits I set are keeping me from progressing to later variations like swing thrus.

I ALWAYS end up diving head first, and now I'm starting to try to invert. MY btwist has a mind of it's own. I hate it!

Here's an old example:http://youtube.com/watch?v=tDDGw_XDp2w

I too would absolutely LOVE to swingthru!
