i think their pretty easy..a lot of people do them different ways and remember to lean forward as you should on many tricks and make sure your fully out of it before you land
 
push the deck out to preferred side [feet still on]. kinda put the scooter at an angle [front wheel upwards]. and lock your bars into like an X-Up position. then bring it back. hope that helped

i prefer bowlegged =) so ill describe how to do them bowlegged

1.jump
2.sort of rotate your feet, the side of your back foot should be like up against the brake or somewhere back there perpendicular to the deck, leg straightened. The front foot, i think its most comfortable to tip your front foot on its side at the top of the deck and bend your knee and kind of stick it out to the side, that should get the scooter into the right position.
3. ( at the same time as #2 though) turn your inside hand (hand on the side that you kicked the deck out to) and pull it towards your hip, so the edge of that handlebar should be like right near your hip/stomach. then push the other hand around towards the opposite side of your body and kind of down to get a good click. DONT X UP, ITS NOT THE SAME. if you x up the deck will stay more horizontal and it will be more of like a turn-sideways..
4. straighten the bars and bring your feet back, make sure your all straightened out
5. land

Yeah, no style with those bowleggers.

But pretty much push the deck out and turn the bars. Try them over hips and such, like bank hips and stuff. Just find a hip you're good at or if you're good at airing try it there, because it's easier than just going straight.
 
i gots a pic of me doing one if you want to see it haha...well if you want to see it look at pictures and look for ryans scooty pics.

I just learnt lookbacks on my mini ramp and there just like turndowns except you stay in the position instead of coming back to staight. I find them easier. If you get it.

straight legged!!!!!!!

straighten ur legs down to the side(90 degrees) and turn your bars around your leg. And then u will learn to turn your whole body around with ur bars.

Lookbacks are pretty much the exact same thing as turndowns, just spinning a different way or turning your body/deck before your deck/body. Just practice pretty much, if you can do lookbacks you'll be able to do turndowns in no time.
