What this video teaches
Jett Eaton teaches the McTwist from the trampolines at KTR, breaking it into its two components: a front flip and a one and a half twist, learned separately on the tramp and then combined. Once those are mastered off the board he says to take them to the ramp, where the building block is a big backside air. Only once the backside air is dialed do you start flipping it, and he strongly recommends doing the first attempts into a mat or foam pit.
