Question
I'm a flyer, and in my squad's routine I am to twist down from all my stunts.  My twist downs needless to say are not pretty!  I dont know why, but for some reason I'm really bad at these.  I can complete every other stunt we do just fine, but I just can't get my twist downs perfected! Do you know of any tips I could use?  They would all be appreciated! Thanks so much!  

Answer
Hi Tracy,
What exactly isnt pretty about your twist down? Just guessing but I'm assuming its not coming down gracefully which would mean you need to be tighter and ride up and twist down. A common error is flyers get nervous they arent going to make it around in time so they twist directly out of the pop. Think ride up twist down down. and make sure your super tight legs together like a log rolling down then cradle. :-) I hope that helps, if thats not exactly what your looking for feel free to re contact me :-) Good LUck with the twist and let me know how it goes. I love to know if it helped or not. thanks
