I've never heard of that being called "tic tacs". it also won't rip anything to shreds- lowering your bodyfat will do that. all that hanging leg raises (and twists) will do is work your abs and obliques- and it will do a good job, but if you're fat, you're gonna stay fat.

Agreed. Ripped is mostly diet. The tic tacs will build the abs and obliques, though.

well ripped i meant build them... but the original question was how to do them..

I dont' understand
dont' you just hang, lift legs and try to pull your hips up towards your shoulders?
one side then the other?

I started doing these one day a week, but I don't do any twisting. Should I?

pull em up til you are in a "V" then rotate your legs down side to side 3 o clock, 9 o clock.

i think

that would be killer on the lower back and obliques. you can also keep the legs down and just raise your legs sideways, like a side kick. imagine a big clock swinging tic toc, tic toc. trace big circles with your toes around your body etc etc.
