  1. I can do 180 unispins 100% of the time and Body Varials 100% of the
    time, and here lies my problem. I unispin counter-clockwise and body
    varial clockwise so this makes it very hard to land small spins. Does
    anyone have any tips or should i just learn my body varials
    counter-clockwise. if it helps i jump right foot forward.

    i feel like i did a bad job explaining what i am doing so here is a
    picture. The uni su the black my body the red

    well, I small spin the opposite direction I body varial.

    dont go for the whole ting, just do a 180 unispin and a 90 twist while
    your learning.

  3. It sounds like you're trying to do an inward unispin (180 unispin + body
    varial in oppostite direction). A small spin is a 180 hop twist and a
    180 unispin in the same direction.

    I had to change my hop twist direction to learn them and I learned them
    static first.

    how does that work. I thought that a hoptwist was just a jump in which
    your body and the uni rotate in the same direction?

  5. he just confused you.

    its a 18 hoptwist with a unispin in the same direction.

    dont think of it as a body varial.

  6. The first small spin I ever landed was inward. That was because I do
    body varials to the right(easier) and unispin to the left. However I
    hoptwist to the left, so learning regular smallspins and big spins came
    pretty easy.
    Anywya, why not try to learn them inward if that is easier for you.
