I'm stuck at misty 5. When I throw it thinking 'more spin' and push the leading shoulder more I end up with a corked 5 or 7. I need to do the spinny bit faster without flirking up the flippy bit. How?

start the spin first and set the 'inverted' part of the spin later, for me the later in the spin i set my front flip the more i spin.

word to that stephan-beast. just spin a lot more before flipping in order to spin bigger misties. what i do is look over my shoulder just before i hit the lip and just start turning right away. at about the point where i see the takeoff and im at 180 i start flipping and i just stick my head around and look for the landing, misty 7 every time man. Your momentum from the first 180 should bring the other 180 around so its an easy trick to do grabs with. no switching of body weight, its super fluid.
peace,paul

ohh and i find that misty 5's are much easier done switch if you feel confindent switch, cuz your head is already around for the spin and your landing facing forward as well.

That's the thing that bugs me about the "switch" misty 900 that Jon starting doing a few years ago. It's a half-in misty 7 out. Sorry for the gymnastic jargon. I expected to see a misty 9 that had the body 180° out of norm from the take-off. He's really smoothed it out this past year so it seems seamless. Props.

The most legitimate switch misty I can think of was J.P. Auclair's s/misty 7 into powder during the opening credits of PBP's "13". Haven't seen one since...

yah mistys are pretty much really ugly unless you can get them to not look like any kind of front flip. its gotta be a seamless almost 180 then the flip 180 out with a parellel grab. it looks good if done right i think.

um. there are so many different ways to throw a misty, don't just call it ugly.

You can tweak out a grab, you can arch your back, or delay the last spin.
I'm working on double safety grabs in them - looks pretty sick because you're body gets so tweaked out.

Your problem is that you are looking at a misty as two different things going on at sametime - a flip and a spin.

You need to view a misty more simply as an inverted spin.

As you come up to the jump, get your shoulders prepared and a good stance. If you spin to the left, throw your right shoulder out in front of you and down - like you are trying to grab your left foot with right hand. This will automatically make you spin with it.

If you do this as I said, the misty 540 will come effortlessly.

MAKE SURE YOUR HEAD IS LEADING THE WAY. AND THAT IT IS GOING IN ONE SEAMINGLESS DIRECTION.

Pop, throw your head and your outside shoulder - same time - same direction.

If you want to spin more with it, then keep your head looking over your shoulder and keep your right shoulder following through.

i throw my mistys a lot dif then how ghost dragon said him but his way sounds better. me personally like to do em like this. take off the jump and immedietly spin in the direction you intend to go and parallel grab, this automatically gets you corked if you throw your arm over hard enough for the grab. at this point im corked and spun about 90 degrees. then i just flip and spin the other 90 or 270 out together for the 5 or 7. and yeah ive seen people try mistys for the first time and they dont look too stylish, they take a lot of practice to get to look good, i still kinda suck at them.
peace,paal
