A-Twist vs B-twist - TrickScience ep. 6

What are the separating factors between B-twist and A-twist? How can we see the difference? How can we measure it?
HERE IS AN IMPORTANT POINTER THAT I LEFT OUT:
/ b0xuvx_gmpo
Yes B-twist is ideally horizontal and A-twist is completely invert. But tricks are rarely exactly what they are supposed to be in ideal conditions. This is why we need ranges regarding for example inversion levels.
Do you agree with the system I represented in this video when it comes to separating "Aerial family tricks" from "Butterfly family tricks"?
I chose the represented takeoff inversion ranges both based on the practicality aspect: Dividing all the potential inversion options on the 180 degrees scale into 45 degree "slices" (example at 3:21) is easier than figuring out some other thresholds. These ranges also seem to be working out well when it comes to the actual tricks and their looks.
Conclusions: B-twist can be done on many inversion levels but only a few got represented in this video. The range is bigger than for A-twists. The chest direction from side to side make B-twists horizontal right after the takeoff but they can start inverting a little more after that depending on the technique used. A-twists are characterised by the chest not moving to the side too much and being invert enough after the takeoff of the move.

I like the intentions of this but I kind of feel like it's making a chicken out of a feather. The system of slices (in air inversion) is how I think most experienced trickers view the difference between butterfly and aerial tricks. When a trick is on the border, I don't think there's any need for debate, or to instead define the trick from takeoff upper body inversion. The trick is simply inbetween a and b and it's fine to call it that.
Back in the days people argued in the same manner about gainer fulls and corks (10+ years ago), but since long the term 'gainer full' is outdated and actually redundant (at least in the tricking community). People simply call them corks which can be more or less inverted.
Maybe we'll see the same terminology development in the future where there's simply an aerial or butterfly family, which are more or less inverted.
Again though, great series - keep doing them. It's food for thought, engaging and fun!

@@JonatanPetersson Yeah I agree with you a lot! I mean this series is mainly meant to get people think by themselves and understand the techniques and their differences better. Whether something is this or that is kinda irrelevant I agree, but I wanna see what are the separating factors and why. Also for me it's fun to get into analysing these topics, dive deeper into them and then share what I found out and thought at the moment.

I absolutely agree with this !

You were trainning a little too close to yourself, take more care next time or you could get injured

Please tutorial on B twist.

[@waterbottlethatalsolikesme1670]

Tbh at first i actually thought he was gonna do a flip at the beggining lmao

[@lukegray5558]

So an A-twist is just an inverted btwist? Would be be better to approach cork with an a twist than a b twist

[@johzuke1]

Yes and I learned both of these after cork personally. Would say B-twist has more cork feel than A-twist.

[@lukegray5558]

@@johzuke1 thanks bro. It seems the exit of A twist is similar to the exit of cork. Because of the invertion. Am I wrong?

[@johzuke1]

Well corks don't necessarily need inversion so not always.
