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.

Key tips

  • Break it into two pieces: a front flip and a one and a half twist, then combine them
  • Learn those two components on a trampoline before taking them to the ramp
  • On the ramp, the foundation is a big backside air
  • Only start flipping it once the backside air is dialed
  • Use a mat or foam pit for your first attempts
