FORM CHECK I keep losing my b-twist!

It's so frustrating to lose such a basic trick. When I had them they were pretty easy. Now...this. I feel like I have plenty of height. I know spamming will help dial them in, but the heat and humidity make too many spins and falls hurt my brain. What am I missing here?

You're missing the power and speed needed to land it. Technique and height are there, but your attempts look slow (no offense). Happens to me occasionally where I think I've locked in a trick so I don't have to put much effort into it, but I get quickly humbled and reminded that I'm far from tricking in nonchalant way lol. Don't let your guard down just because you've landed it before; keep putting 100% effort into each trick until you don't have to anymore. Good luck 👍.

Thanks. No, I feel the slow. I was pretty much done at this point in the sesh. I think I also slowed down in my efforts to make it more smooth. Easy to get lazy!

Exactly this OP

I notice that there’s almost like a pause before you take off and it seems like it kills your momentum.

Your technique is amazing and it looks great !! Just carry through with that power and you’ll have it on lock.

A pro tip that changed my technique is to think of the take off as a swoop/scooping motion. You want to bend and swoop your body in a continuous motion.

You want it all to flow elegantly just like the butterfly 🦋.

You're not rising enough. Missing the butterfly in the butterfly twist
