I've been trying to cycle a walk but I'm having problems to make a loop out of my walk.

I've animated a 2 step walk and I want to loop these 2 steps. In the grapheditor I've made a cycle with post infinity and cycle with offset. But when I play my animation something goes wrong with the feet. The further the character goes the more the feet twist.

Here's a screenshot from my curves

I noticed that the rotateY and rollBall curve of the feet have offsets. Is that causing the feet twist?

Are the first and the last frame the same, ie: frame 1 = frame 25? Maybe they're slightly off and the infinity inserts the difference on top of the previous difference. :)

Yes its the offset thats causing the twist
