    we all know of the thumbaround ~> indexaround .5 (whatever you may call it) but i rarely see the concept mapped.
    I really only use the minicombo at the end, but these tricks are interesting all the same.

    The only bad thing is that most of the tricks is that it's hard to notice in a combo. A ringmiddlearound looks just like a ringaround.


    Hybrids such as ringmiddleindex arounds or cont ringmiddleindex arounds stand out much more, even if it is a bit harder to do. RA to Ringmiddleindex also works quite well, or a ringmiddleindexaround > ringmiddlearound > ringaround. Which I've done a few times in my combos.

    @ Charlie: are you talking about arounds that go around more then one finger? because those are pseudo-popular but used in combos. This video showcases arounds that are composed of: one whole around + .5 of another. so instead of an indexmiddle around 1.0 12-23 it would be an index around 1.0 12-2 ~> middle around .5 2-23.

    and haha, i agree, virtuously invisible in a combo tongue.gif

    but its just something i never see, and i am VERY found of that mini combo shown at the end.

    From a technical standpoint, that was a kick-ass video.

    is that an effect you put in or did you stick a light pointing into your lens? xD

    hahaha, well, my frame rate goes WAY up when i shine a light over top of the camera, its really awful when it doesn't look like that. i have a nice cam, but its such a hassle for a simple project like this

    Exactly what I'm talking about. They're pretty much overlooked.

    @Jamie Enns
    I do agree that they're great hybrids though. You just have to think outside of the box to make them noticeable like doing the other things I suggested.
