Drop a shoulder towards your toes and try to reach out with that arm to grab your feet. Throw your other arm up and behind you.

it's 80% flip, 20% spin. but when you start out it's good to think 50/50.
Counter clockwise misty (goofy stance):
do a front flip, but cork your right shoulder in a rotatin motion towards the inside of your right knee. it helps to swing your arms in the direction you plan to spin as it helps the rotation.

also, jump forward. if you try to do it stationary, or close to stationary, you migh hit your chest because when i started out i would always land with a hunched back.

thank you. misties begin with 540. then they go up to whatever. but a misty 540 is about as low as you can go. drop your right shoulder like you're going to hit someone on the football field. and throw your right arm down across your body toward your left hip. make your head do the same. your body will follow.

if you spin to your left, put your right arm up
then drop in to your left hip area

The way I learned them, was to try adding a 180 to my frontflips, and then try to spin a bit earlier. after a while, they just became misties

exactly. But make sure you start to frontflip before you spin once you're working on higher rotations.

once you lern them try not to do them constantly. cause thats what i did and then it took me for ever to lern corks cause my body got so used to throwing forward that every time i tryed something different like a cork i just went right into a misty. took me forever to get rid of that

Jump out and throw your left arm up and follow it twisting your head. Or just smoke crack. Your choice.

jump, and throw your right shoulder down, kinda like flipping, but only with one shoulder, then you will feel like your comming down from a backflip, so you need to keep your shoulders turned to keep spinning. For me the last 180 is after the flip.
