![]() ![]() If you're having trouble with height or with getting horizontal, check your jumping leg out. See my jumping leg? It actually…uhh…jumped? This is tricky to do for starters. Once you start twisting, your height gaining is all but over.Īnd to show the stall, here's another video. The first part of getting more height and stalling is actually coming to full extension. Stalling the twist basically means getting as much height as you can before initiating the twist. One thing to consider is stalling the twist, which is something you might hear others tell you to do. The only thing that happened since the last slide: me jumping and then coiling my arms to my body tighter. Tricking is all about transition of momentum. Wide arms at the moment of takeoff is a good thing. This gives you more power for the spin itself because you can coil them inwards to your body. For any twisting trick, one of the keys is to keep the arms wide at first. ![]() Compared to not lifting it at all, it's a big difference.Īlso: arms. I know it doesn't look like I'm lifting it high, but I'm trying to. Doing so not only gets you height, but it also keeps your body horizontal to the ground. The goal here is to lift the back leg as high as possible. This is the butterfly kick's last moment of similarity. With the U dip not only down and up, but also across my front leg, my torso is now on it's way to be closer to the house than my lower body. It's going to dip across my front leg and my torso will end up closer to the house. My body starts in front of my legs (my torso is closest to the camera right now). I harp on that in the butterfly kick tutorial, so recheck that if you have to. Not only does this get you height it also gets you rotation provided you dip across your body. Everything is still back, but I'm getting ready to dip into the U and play that funky music.ĭip into the U. Although everyone is different, I like to keep my shoulders back a bit when I throw the swing.Īh, just like in the butterfly kick, that lead swing leg opens before it plants into the ground. If you're comparing your video against mine, be sure to examine what your shoulders are doing in relation to the swinging leg. Pace is starting to heighten here to prepare for the violence. Keep your head calm, keep your body relaxed.Īfter the turn, everything is back as the lead leg swings out. When I was first learning this trick, one of the mistakes I kept making was going hyper speed into the takeoff. I'm letting this takeoff give me momentum, but I'm controlling things. See how I'm pretty much straight up and down? That means I'm coasting into the trick. I get momentum from a little spin, as do most people. Weight is all on my right leg and arms are back, too. Revisit that tutorial here if you need a full refresher. For my money, it's only 1/4 of the butterfly kick and it feels like a completely different trick, which is why you don't even need to know how to butterfly kick clean in order to have a nice and fancy butterfly twist.
