Grass. If you screw up a b-kick, you're not going to land on your head. Anything else and it's going to screw up the movement/preparation/execution.

Are you trying btwists or bkicks?

They just take practice.  It's weird getting used to the flatspin of this trick. You have a camera...just keep filming yourself, comparing, and practicing.
