Twisting Question

I was rereading Shannon's mom's book and she was talking about the difficulties Shannon had learning front tumbling. At one point she said Steve had forgotten she was a left twister and since she was going forward, she hadn't understood it would be easier to twist in the other direction.

So if you're tumbling forward, you twist differently then if you are trying to tumble backward in a twisting salto?

I remember fooling around in the pool and on a trampoline but I can't remember how I twister backwards, just forward. (I'm a righty!)
