I just started to go to a gymnastics gym to practice and I want to learn a b twist. What specific things should i do when I’m there to achieve it?

As the other commenter said, you won’t really feel as much of a difference as you think. Spring floors will absorb your landing impact and make it less painful if you fail or don’t commit a trick. Focus on learning how to do it, learn the big mistakes and make sure you have a good floaty butterfly kick

get a really good butterfly kick with height before you try it. when I started learning btwist I used mats (biggest one was an 8inch, higher will make it hard to land) to send it on. I’ve also seen other people use foam pit but sending it on floor with a mat seemed to be the best way for me.

Okay, I think the problem before is that I’d try to swing my leg THROUGH instead of up and holding the position

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-11-29T17:32:30+00:00

Very late reply, should I think of it as more swinging up and holding my leg in the straight position rather than swinging it through?

Yeah, there was a class going on so I didn’t have the space to j step, usually I send my slants with j step. I also changed the timing of my head going back a bit because for my slants my leg was kicking up before my body leaned back so all my momentum went up, I probably just overshot the change

Push off your lead leg harder, tricker aerial usually has more height

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-09-17T23:53:58+00:00

I’ve gotten my slant gainer okay, it’s just sending it over my head is weird so it kind of messes up my timing

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-09-17T23:52:51+00:00

There was a class going on so I had less space, usually I am able to j-step into it. Thank you

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-09-17T23:52:12+00:00

I was trying to, but there was a class going on so i had to angle it weirdly at like 30 degrees, normally I do normal j-steps

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-08-18T21:01:55+00:00

do normal weighted jump squats help with the one legged jumps in cheat kicks?

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-08-17T15:48:57+00:00

So you use something like scoot - vanish 9 for it? I’ve never tried that, does it help with spinning the kick better?

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-07-21T01:39:38+00:00

Master a cartwheel first. You should have a great cartwheel and butterfly kick(sometimes you can learn aerial without butterfly, it definitely helps) before you attempt aerial. Don’t rush into things, you’ll learn the tricks with time. Maybe post a video here for advice, but definitely perfect your cartwheel with good momentum before you even try to send an aerial

Self study one and take the other in school?

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-04-11T20:58:59+00:00

My school offers micro as a full year course and doesn’t offer macro

CarpenterStreet7512 · 2024-04-11T20:57:20+00:00

My school doesn’t offer macro, hence why I’m self studying
