ohh, k.
turndowns and lookbacks are practically the same on a scooter, their hard to tell apart sometimes. Basically a turndown is more vertical looking (l), and a lookback is more horizontal (-)
I hope Ryan doesn't mind me using his pics, but they're good examples.
Turndown:
The thing with them is that you kick out the deck of your scooter and turn your bars, kind of like a lookback, except you bring the scooter back again, instead of following it (otherwise you would land fakie). I don't know if this is a good explanation, so someone correct me if it's kind of sketch.
Lookback:
Lookbacks are similar to t-downs except you follow your scooter kind of. because you do the turndown movement, except all you have to do to get out of them is twist your bars back to normal, so you're basically 'following your scooter.' That's why their generally used in spins and in qp airs. Again, I don't know my stuff 100%, and if I'm right then it should hopefully clear things up, but I think I still don't have it right so please point me in the right direction if I'm wrong.
And the half-bar to turndown thing I still am not 100%. From what I take it it seems like a no hander to turndown, because if you catch it with your hands in the turndown position and it only does half a barspin, you're pretty much just letting it go for two seconds and then finishing the turndown. It might look cool if you do it one handed though.
