Okay JC you win -.-
Okay, my spinning skills aren't really par with the rest of the team. I have a boring style, and none of my tricks are really that hard. So, I need help:
Stuff I wanna work on:
Ringaround
IA, MA, RA rev
Cont. baks, midbaks, ringbaks, pinkybaks
Cool hybrid finishers
My own style =\
Better linkages
Faster and smoother
So meh, FS with KT:

Nuu, don't change your style. I like your style although it needs a bit of polishing up with your sub-par direction changes ^^" .... And your style gives the team another style. All of the people on this team have such varying styles. Yours, Arie's, Charlie's, mine, etc... they're all so different from one another and I dont' want you spinning faster and smoother like everyone else going korean D:

yeah, i just wanted to make sure I hit the palmspin, so i just a TA harmonic kinda thing to get a good position on the pen. And about the TF charge thing, I plan to learn and get good at shadow TF-12 > bak revs
May as well have some feedback on my editting too while I'm at it. Comments on this please:

I think your style's fine. You'll get smoother in time. And I agree with shadow, that TF shadow was nice. Very stylistic and well executed. I think you might like my TF Shadow ~ Handaround Hybrid. I'll show you sometime.
Just keep practicing really. I recommend learning cont baks and midbaks first. Learning cont baks teaches you how to move your hand properly for cont tricks. Then you can apply the concept for cont mid baks (which is harder). Cont pinkybaks are actually second easiest after cont baks. Cont ringbaks are the toughest imo. -

since i'm not as good with spinning advice and shadow/charlie gave some already on to the editing
(yea you know what's coming)
didn't enjoy
- you started off with a flash? im sorry but that's just a waste
- i still hate your disgusting white with *insert color* neon light efftect. i thought you wanted JeB wannabe; do a cool creative background with white font not that
- the transition you used into the first video still pisses me off
- as usual i hate zooming in the middle of a video
- for videos use a full neon color instead of the white with outline neon color
- the zoom in/out at 1:26 was too slow (the one type of zooming exception i make on "neat stuff")
- felt there wasn't enough transition going on within the 1:__ videos
- seriously that text @___@
- get some elaborate font
enjoyed
- ok your first transition into Baaron's first video i actually enjoyed
- if that purple light and bright lighting was an edit then i liked it...but zooming on the video really beat it, busted out its brains, and burned the remains for me
overall i thought your editting was merely blank, swirly colors or a more epic intro beginning would be nice....or is that with that over program you need that Shadow needs to get Oo?
THAT WHITE WITH BORDER COLOR GRRRRH
uh i actually enjoyed this one more than the other i totally shot down, so dont feel as bad (tho the music was lamer on this one) -

So your comssa uses SG tips too? Haha, cool. I thought I was the only one with an SG Comssa. Mine don't have extra hgg tips though. I think it's fine as it is. Not as heavy as a kt, but still nice.
Oh and I use the extra metal rings from SG pens to put on the cap. Looks nice. Try it. :] -

spin whatever speed you feel most comfortable in. but i think i like the faster spinning. -
Date: Thu, Apr 16 2009 19:42:12
mhm, i invited you originally for the slower spinning to add some variety to the team's spinning, but now that i've seen your fast spinning, i like it a lot more personally
as charlie's said though, spin what feels most comfortable to you
but it's looking really really really good
i can't believe i missed so much after being gone for a week -

Look at the other pens in the bottom left for a hint :]
-
Date: Fri, Apr 24 2009 21:55:37
no one even knows how to make baoos mod
kaku can i tell what that is? -
Date: Fri, Apr 24 2009 22:45:14

-
Date: Sat, Apr 25 2009 05:51:01
i don't even know what most of the pens at the bottom are -.-'' and @baaron, i didn't know that? ><
-
Date: Sat, Apr 25 2009 06:09:05
you cant see the red one you gave me? D:
-
Date: Sat, Apr 25 2009 07:45:34

This was my first combo I filmed for joey 1st, then I refilmed and got a better one. Good or bad? -
Date: Wed, Apr 29 2009 02:09:19
You still lack control. The pen feels heavy for you and you need to break out of the typical korean style. Just a suggestion. :]
-
Date: Wed, Apr 29 2009 04:26:21
what do you mean by control? it seemed controlled to me
-

Your fingers. You don't have control over them. -

Date: Thu, Apr 30 2009 17:17:15
I agree with Charlie and JC. The pen you're using seems too large and heavy, making your spinning seem awkward.
Consider practicing with a simple double capped comssa for improved dexterity & smoothness. (Something that I've done.)
And pay attention to the tricks you link - your direction changing needs work as well as variation. -

As you can see, no huge pen xD -
Date: Sat, May 16 2009 17:07:48
Yeah, with a smaller pen, your spinning definitely looks more controlled for the most part... Try having the same control with a longer pen though, just to make it match your hand a bit more. And you need to show a bit more of your wrist, and stop going off screen. Your angle needs a bit of adjustment. Try moving it to the left, and more angled towards your hand. So you can see a bit more of your wrist, center your hand, and have a nice angled view of your hand.

You remind me a lot of coco_a, kaku.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sirDWni4vU
His hands are like yours and in his older vids, his style is a bit similar. His style is a lot more controlled now and developed, but you'll see a lot of similarities. Maybe pick up something from it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROIuMdZ6pUE...feature=related
Try out his solo vid. He style changes a lot sometimes (like when he's doing a lot of wipers). -

how are my midbak 1.5s progressing? i started practicing them again like, 2 or 3 days ago. are they ugly, smooth, unsmooth, etc...? -
Date: Wed, Jun 17 2009 03:20:43
Midbaks look fine. I like how do you execute them like vic does. I suggest catching it more like makin does. It adds an extra flare and makes for a good finisher.
Your current catch looks sloppy. -

yea i know about the fact that i spammed my mini combo like, 3 times in that combo, but other than that, how is smoothness, linkages and the pen?
And oh yea, got my first pinkybak 1.5 > pinkybak today :] I didnt practice it, i just decided to try it, and got it within a minute
