Cheat 720 Twist Round

Cheat 720 Twist Round

Optional


Any twisting trick with a roundkick finish
It’s as the name implies a Cheat 720 Twist finishing with a roundkick. You can also view it as a horizontal Cheat 900, however that doesn’t make it much easier in my opinion. It’s best approached with a solid Cheat 720 Twist and adding the B-Twist Round to that. 

01 Cheat 720 Twist

You should have a very solid Cheat 720 Twist before you learn this one. A Raiz Twist however is not necessary. Raiz Twist Round feels very different to this trick because of the flatspin. 




02 B-Twist Round

I think this is the best twisting roundkick trick to learn before you learn the Cheat 720 Twist Round. They both twist on the same axis therefore you can think of the Cheat 720 Twist Round as a B-Twist Round that just takes off differently. You can of course also learn the Cheat 720 Twist Round with other twisting roundkick prerequisites, like the Full Round for example. 

03 Cheat 720 Twist Round

Now you need to put them together. Enter with wide open arms and go for a high and fast Cheat 720 Twist. Think of the B-Twist Round. Because you enter from backside instead of frontside you need about 180 degrees of additional rotation at the start. And you want to finish those 180 degrees fast so you can transform the trick into a B-Twist Round fast. You can also keep your upper body a bit more vertical than usual, which will make it easier to find a target to kick through (just as with the B-Twist Round)




Tips

I always try to spot my target in any trick that involves a kick. However when I started to learn this trick I would always kick too early or not find my landing. It just started to click when I spotted the landing instead and kicked out as I landed. Try it out for yourself and see what works better for you.
