I had setup for this trick before
12 chus: youtu.be/I0KSzQBL2-A
11 chus: youtu.be/WxfrqVn1eKo
New one is still 11 chus but much faster than these thanks to twisted hover, it's really useful for N64 RDO (or bingo maybe?)

I explained nothing in this video, but I did like this:
- after Spirit Jump, get ISG, stand at the corner of the ledge
- aim to here (the position isn't always same and Link's breathing is kinda bad for aiming, but the angle is enough lenient): imgur.com/a/rI2IUmc
- do ESS with that angle, hold down and advance 1-2 frame, forward backflip and drop a chu 1st/2nd backflip frame
- sideroll and start holding ESS position from 1-2 frame after "normal sideflip frame", then you can do ESS (ESS down is good for after this part)
- pull out a chu, hold down and advance 1-2 frame, forward backflip and drop the chu at the same time for twisted hover
- do twisted hover more 9 times (so 11 hover in total)
- do forward backflip to left hand of the statue

Originally, twisted hover was used in TAS but not well used in RTA, but Rosewater came up with using it for DC Hover: youtu.be/Ex0ce2-iJpY
Rosewater, Jolin and I messed up with it and Jolin found a good way for doing twisted hover with less pauses, then I noticed it's good for another spirit hover as well
Jolin's DC Hover tutorial is good for learning twisted hover part, check this if you don't know well about twisted hover: youtu.be/EGrv4vVuCCY
