Bkick and Btwist

[Lenny]

Ive been able to do both for a while but with little improvement. If i post a video of both can i have a bit of advice. I know i need to get loads more height if im ever going to be able to do btwist variations or s/t's:

Your b-kick is pretty sick; if you want to improve it you just have to figure out how you want it to look and then mess around with it.

The main problems (so far as I can see) with your b-twist is:
-Taking off too early
-Not kicking enough
-Not stalling/setting, as a result of taking off too early

So basically allow your upper body to finish the dip and your head to almost go "behind" you before taking off. Kick harder during your takeoff and get some height before twisting.

the bkick was just about fine, just more power/timing needed from practice and focusing on POPping up/lifting leg hard. think STRETCH

For your btwist, you could go through and fix each little problem one at a time, or you could just fix it all at once by thinking BKICK-TWIST. This does not mean epic stall.. just make you btwist look like a bkick until you have just left the ground then wrap and it should be pretty much dandy.

and one general point: relax

u do ur btwist different from ur bkick, dont.
do it the same. kick up the same, dip the same, and it will be just as smooth, high and horizontal. once ur well in the air just twist it. not much more to it, just think of it a bkick twist instead of a btwist.
