So you need help with twisting? Okay well when you twist, my tumbling instructor first told me to do a layout on the trampoline, and then I see the ground to clap my hands (and make sure your layouts are straigh and you dont pike at the end cause then it will eventually make your fulls look bad). So you do a layout and when you see the trampoline or matt or whatever, clap.. you clap when you see the ground because that is when your suppost to start twisting. Then if your doing these on the trampoline, do another layout and clap to the side you twist to.. so I twist to the right so when I see the ground I clapped to the right. Then after you do that a few times, do another layout, clap to the side you twist to, then turn your head to that side. But make sure your not twisting right when you jump into your full cause then you'll be twisting too early. When I worked on making my fulls better, I was scared to wait to twist cause I thought i would fall on my head, but my instrustor told me that if you twist to late then you shouldnt fall on your neck or anything and you'll only end up twisting like half way around or 3/4's. And when you twist you pull up with your chest and arms and then just twist. Theres more things I can tell you, but if i do it might be a wasste cause Im not sure what you already know about twist and what you dont know. So please just I.m me at HONEYBUNS9223 and I'll give you more tips on fulls. Hope this helped and sorry if it was confusing at all cause its kind of hard to teach tumbling without actually showing someone in person.
