    Check out my UPSB RD port folio and tell me what you think?
    Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD10chRDcpc

    Welcome to the board but you posted in the trade/buy forum. I have moved it to member single video forum.

    A few things I noticed about your videos.

    Theres one main thing that you don't seem to understand.
    Linking tricks, or thinking of ways to LINK tricks, are not in themselves new tricks.
    Saying, "Hey, I did bustaerial(lefthand) > Bak (righthand) is that a new trick?"
    is totally incorrect.
    Most tricks in the PS community have been around for YEARS, and almost every single combination or linkage has been thought of.
    All in all, its essential for you to understand that: linking 2 tricks together, one after the other, does not create a new trick

    Secondly, I hear you using terms like, chopper, which isn't correct nonmenclature, and is not used.

    Thirdly, it seems that you have trouble understanding how Spins work, from a physics standpoint.
    Spins work when you have a JUST the correct amount of friction, so that you can control it to a point and keep it from falling, but yet, have little friction, so that you can make as many revolutions as possible.
    This balance between the 2 makes it very difficult to do high revolution spins, or transfers.
    Where penspinning is at right now, almost ALL of the LINKAGES (not new tricks) that you talked about are next to impossible.
    Unfortunately pens don't "act" as everyone would like them to, and concepts such as your handspin>spiderspin transfer would be impossible not only because of the balance, but because of COG (center of gravity)

    A lot of your linkages neglect to incorporate COG into them, and truthfully, it has a huge difference in what makes something possible and impossible in penspinning.

    Overall, I think, that you need to spend A LOT more time with penspinning.
    You can't just come in, and think that you were the first person to think of a certain combo or linkage, and we don't expect you to.
    LEARN THE TRICKS, before you can create logical linkages and combos, you should have an extremely solid grasp of the fundamentals, and beyond. From your spinning in the videos, its evident that you do not.

    As well, a Huge part of RD is Notation, and from your explanations in the videos, I'm unsure whether your knowledge of notation and its extreme depth is up to par.

    However, some of your concepts were interesting.
    Stick around, Keep spinning. And make RD a goal for the future.

    I realized many of my mistakes after making the videos. I was so excited about the RD opening that I made a port folio without checking it. I'm completely wrong with the names and notations but the linkages can be done. As I said in the video, I've done them before but not consistently. The case of the palmspin to spiderspin combo, your probably right 'cause I just thought about it only but for those that I didn't they can be done. Most of the linkages were created in the process of learning the tricks. The thing is that I've been spinning for 2 years but I can't do a lot of tricks yet.

    Anyway, the sole purpose of the videos is not to get into RD but also for others to help me with the linkages seeing as i'm a real noob. All in all you are still right. I do have a lot to learn. Thanks for the constructive criticism man. Really helpful. I'll continue spinning and maybe I'll get into RD sometime!!

    EDIT: I am in RD! Thanks zombo!!

    he gave me this 3 parts video to show his ideas as part of his application to the RD

    i have no idea why he posted in public.
