Btwist, tips?

[Kyy]

I'm a spot on noob considering tricking. Been doing it for a month now. Trying out my btwist has left me in a tight spot, I cant seem to land it. I posted a poor video on youtube, in hope of someone spotting my flaws. These are some of my first btwists. I have looked through jujis tutorials, but I cant really spot what I'm doing wrong, since I dont got a very trained eye.

Tips are very appriciated. Thanks!

hhmm.. Kick your back-leg up more, and remember to go up, reach your peak hight before you spin :D

and, Welcome to TT ^_^

[Kyy]

Alright, I'll try that (:
Thanks !

nice btwist. Same advice, throw your back leg harder. and don't put your hands to the floor so early, it "break" your rotation. just go for it do the whole twist and then you can maybe put your hands in case you're falling. If you're afraid of hurting yourself, you'll put your hands and....you'll fall. Do it as if you were going to land it and land it!!


(practice)


ps: LP....

So I should just clinch my hands to my chest, then wait until the 360 is done, then punch down with my feet? :smile:

what is LP ?

linkin park? why????????
well just work on your height bro. i had the same problem with putting my hand down but i eventually got over it.

ok well first you need to think really of a bkick, and then twistingi t, so you can get more height, cos thats basically what it is. your just twisting which is killin your height.
also, you tornado with your right leg. but do ur btwist CW, maybe you should try it the other way? are you right or left handed?

Kick your back leg up more, delay the twist. You have the twist down fine though. :smile:

Haha, I like Linkin Park. I went to see them when I was like eleven lol. It's just their new stuff that sucks. :good:

[Swartz]

It seems to be just a combination of you lacking both a little height AND twist. You're low which means you need to kick that leg up higher and stall it for a split second. Everyone's said that already.

You also need to hold that twist in longer. Obviously you're wanting to reach out with your hands to catch yourself but it looks like you're in the habit of doing that and therefore opening up too early. Keep your arms in tight even as you're landing. All you need is your eyes to spot the ground and your legs to catch you.

Thanks guys! Using all of your tips, I managed to do a btwist, with a landing (without my knees, or hands!)

I could try that Sean, I am right handed.
