    Ok, so i've been practicing Back fall. I have no problems doing index around and middle around. Problems come up during my ring and pinky.

    My middle finger doesn't curl up dry.gif so im like omfg. if i try to do it curled it doesnt come out smooth cause it takes too long to curl it up. if i do it outstreched my middle finger just hits the pen back.... pinky i can do sometimes, but its because i kind of flick it in the air tongue.gif but really my pinky around has no COG at all. Do I flick my wrist, or do some kind of hand movement? Also is it always done hand face down or can i do it with my hand semi-hand down?

    Is the breakdown: index around 12-12~pass 12-23>mid aound 23-23~pass 23-34>etc....

    do i catch with just the finger its going around or both fingers started out with?

    I kno it's a lot to answer but please help.

    Backaround 12-23 > Backaround 23-34 > Backaround 34-T1
    or
    Backaround 12-23 > Backaround 23-34 > Backaround 34-4 > Handaround 4-T1


    Non-Backaround Fall is...
    Fingerless Indexaround Reverse 12-12 > Pass 12-23 > Fingerless Middlearound Reverse 23-23 > Pass 23-34 > Fingerless Ringaround Reverse 34-34 > Fingerless Pinkyaround Reverse 34-34

    I thought it was...

    Backaround 12-12 > Fl Pass 12-23 > Middle Backaround 23-23 > Fl Pass 23-34 > Ring Backaround 34-34 > Pinky Backaround 34-34

    That's how I do it. Have I been doing my backfalls the wrong way this whole time? I've been practicing backfalls for a month-ish now.

    i believe backaroundfall and bakfall are different
    bakfall involves the korean bak (fl around reverses)

    i think sketching was just pointing out different backaround falls
    i for one am still trying to learn the bakfall
    god help my if i try a backaround fall

    corrent me if im wrong.

    bak = Backaround = "Weissian" Backaround

    Bak Fall = Backaround Fall = combo of Backarounds

    Korean Indexbak 12-12 = Fingerless Indexaround Reverse
    Korean Middlebak 23-23 = Fingerless Middlearound Reverse
    Korean Ringbak 34-34 = Fingerless Ringaround Reverse
    Korean Pinkybak 34-34 = Fingerless Pinkyaround Reverse

    Korean Backaround Fall != Backaround Fall...there are no Backarounds involved. It's a combo of Fingerarounds + Passes.

    imo korean baks should stop being compared to FL IA rev, the fact that they go around the index finger, but stay parallel to the ground makes them feel like a backaround, and pretty much look like one.. and besides, if anyone told me to do a FL IA rev, it wouldnt look like a korean bak, I would hold the pen in 12, have my palm facing me, and swing my hand towards the ceiling, so the pen is parallel to the walls at my sides rather then the floor.. just call it a korean bakfall if you feel it's important to point out it's not a weissen bak..

  11. sketching
    Date: Wed, Oct 17 2007 05:21:05

    Then we should totally have different names for Fingerless Thumbarounds Reverse that are parallel to the ground and Fingerless Thumbarounds Reverse that are parallel to the walls. rolleyes.gif

    no we don't, because they are the same.. my p.o.v is, don't make a mess where it's unnecessary.. and it looks like you're pushing for that mess.. everyone knows what a korean bak means so just leave it at that,,

    I'm pushing to get rid of a mess that is not needed. There's no need to tricks to have more than one name.

    If a horizontal FL TA Rev does not need a different name, then a horizontal FL FA Rev does not need a different name (Korean Bak). I do not see why we have kept a misnamed trick. PenDolSa members mistakenly did the wrong trick when trying to learn Backaround, instead of using the correct name, we have two names for the same trick with a different pen orientation.

    While I agree, I do think that FL IA Rev > Pass 12-23 > FL MA Rev > Pass 23-34 > FL RA Rev > FL PA Rev takes too long to write. The current Bakfall would probably known as the Fingerless Around Rev Fall. huh.gif

    FL Around Reverses go around a finger perpenicular to that finger. Baks go around on an angle. Therefore: Bakfall =/= FL Reverse Around Fall.

    FL Around Reverses go around a finger perpenicular to that finger. Baks go around on an angle. Therefore: Bakfall =/= FL Reverse Around Fall.

    Using that logic, a Thumbaround that starts on the outside base of the thumb that is pushed with the side of the middle finger and is often not perpendicular to the Thumb and not performed at the tip may as well a seperate name from a Thumbaround that is performed at the tip of the thumb pushed using the bottom of the middle finger that spins perpendicular to the Thumb. The first may as well be called an Outside Thumbaround while the second may as well be called an Inside Thumbaround.

    If that seems excessive to you, then you know how I feel about a FL IA Rev being called a Backaround simply because it is performed horizontal.

    @nateiskewl: Unless I'm mistaken, early "Korean" Baks were always performed perpendicular to the finger. It was the actual Backaround that had the new angle to the finger as it was performed parallel to the floor and was at a much more acute angle to the finger.

    Edit: early Korean Baks has a slight tilt to the pen, but nowhere near horizontal.

    Alright hello everybody = D I have 2 questions about the backaroundfall. My first question is how to like the index back to the mid back and my second question is about the ring back. The ring back is the only back i cannot do. Does anyone have a vid of how to hold and how to link them? Thanks

  20. UEDan
    Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 03:01:45

    You do a fingerless pass from index to middle.

    just swing it, like in the infinity combo. And Ring bak is the same as all of them, just practice until you have enough dexterity to lift your ring higher.

    Date: Sat, Feb 16 2008 19:26:13

    The neobak fall includes Neobackarounds, and fingerless passes.

    The backaround fall includes backarounds and regular passes. So with the neobak fall, the pen does not go around your finger, it does one rotation on the top of your finger, then you use a fingerless pass to the next neobak and so on.

    In the backaround fall, you typically use a fingerless shadow reverse (aka korean bak). So when you perform the backaround (aka fingerless shadow rev. or korean bak) for the backaround fall, you will catch the backaround in the 12 slot. So basically your hand should be above the COP line. So then you PASS it to the 23 slot and perform another backaround, and so on and so on.

    I hope that made sense, if not try watching Eso's tutorials. He breaks it down perfectly.

    I guess I'd look at it like this, neobaks always go to the finger slot on the right(if you're left handed then it goes to the left slot). You'll start in backaround position, and when you do a neobak 12-12, it goes from t1 to 12. If you did a neobak 23-23, it would go from backaround position t1 to 23. Since there's no slot after the pinky, there's no PinkyNeobackaround.

    you can make a new thread, but it has to be about bakfall 1.5 or more, and it has to deal specifically with tips to make multiple spins easier, not the basic mechanism.

    bak 12-12-->fl pass 12-23-->mid bak 23-23-->fl pass 23-34-->ring bak 34-34-->fl pass 34-34--> pinky bak....

    but u said the CURRENT bakfall is FL reverse around fall. i am really confused. so what is the real BACKAROUND FALL/BAKFALL???does the baks have to be weis backarounds?

  40. Vall3y
    Date: Sat, Mar 22 2008 08:17:51

    what the fuck is a fl pass 34-34, lol
    and what people mean by calling it reverse around fall, is that korean backaround is actually a reverse around
    not many people do real bakfalls, with wessian baks, but reverse arounds fall (korean baks)

  41. IcyJX
    Date: Tue, Apr 29 2008 07:03:36

    Okay I'm getting confused. Do you mean there's 2 types of backaround falls? The korean and weis? But I thought sketching said korean backaround fall = backaround fall?
    Another thing I'm confused, I see people doing different type "backaround fall" some of the backaround falls go near the tip of the fingers and at an angle while some go around the middle of the finger near horizontal. So is it counted as a "different backaround fall"? Or it's just the same backaround fall just at different positions??

  42. someone
    Date: Thu, May 1 2008 18:51:32

    They're probably both bak falls, just the spinners didn't do the baks exactly the same.
    I don't think a weis backaround fall exists because the pen needs to travel to the T1 slot.

  43. Rorix
    Date: Thu, May 1 2008 22:03:28

    That's just how a Weis Backaround was originally defined, but the majority of people say it can pass through any slot, it just needs to touch the back of your hand. And why wouldn't it exist if it passes through T1?

    Backaround 12-T1-23 > Backaround 23-T1-34 > Backaround 34-T1-34

    Hey guys, I've been practicing Bak Fall or w/e you wanna call it (Korean Bak fall) and I was wondering if I should practice all the Korean Baks individually or just keep attempting Bak Fall. I've done it pretty smooth a few times, but still mess up on ring/pinky bak sometimes. If I practice them individually I'd be doing more pinky/ring baks, but wouldn't be practicing the linking at all, so what do you guys suggest?

    no.

    This happened to me when I was learning backfall 1.0 just keep practicing and kinda move your hand to keep it from sliding off. Eventually it will get easier and easier and stop slipping.

    EDIT: I would use a waterfall or CK mod.

    But the point is its slipping too much, i asked because maybe there is an ideal for bak +1.5 series. I already dont say i'll be able to with another pen. I just wanted to know your suggestions. I'll keep practice with Buster for now...
