ok first off its harder doing it up onto a crash mat!

Right:

The setup is pretty good, however while the leg movement is good, you arent using your arms at all! As you come into the btwist you need to have both arms outflung ready to wrap in, thats what helps generate a cracking spin.

try looking at the floor with the arms outflung, then pushing off as hard as you can, wrap the arms in and torque round. You'll get the rotation easy, then just work on sticking the landing.

Btwists on grass really dont hurt, you're only a few feet off the ground, theres nothing to be scared of.

Practise practise practise.

good luck :good:

Just looks like you need to put a bit more effort into the twist to me - dont do what i did and focus too much on this though because then you'll lose the stall and end up with ones that are real fast but low and not quite horizontal.
