Does anyone know a good technique for perfroming continious fingerless thumbarounds or have any tips on them? I can land triple thumbarounds but not often. Im talking about what ayatori often does in his combos. How about for fingerless thumbarounds reverse?

Practice individual FL TAs. At the end of the FL TA, pull your thumb back a bit to set it in the proper starting position. Continue doing that until you can land every FL TA where you need it to be, then work on smoothly doing them one after another.

If i'm not insane. I think eso did't did any tutorial of sample vid for this trick.
Did any one have any example? -

Eso only made one for Double Thumbaround, but longhorn already knows how to do that.
I don't think there's a tutorial, but a good example would be the combo done by IceMT from the chinese pen spinners collab.

purty good!!!! but what is the diff between triple/quadrule ta and cont fl ta?

Continuous is an all-encompassing modifier that means a trick links into itself one or more times. The Double, Triple, Quadruple, etc. are just finite modifiers.
In other words...
Double FL TA = Cont. FL TA x 2
Triple FL TA = Cont. FL TA x 3
Quadruple FL TA = Cont. FL TA x 4
.

@Eso: I wouldn't call Double, Triple, etc... modifiers, since you are not modifying anything. Those would be combo names.
@B3ndythumbs: Continuous Fingerless Thumbaround is just that: continuously-performed Fingerless Thumbarounds.
Double TA = Thumbaround > FL TA
Triple TA = Thumbaround > FL TA > FL TA
etc...
The first combo consists of only one trick performed however many times you want, the others start with a regular Thumbaround, followed by however many Fingerless Thumbarounds you want. -

Wouldnt double ta be a hybrid since you dont catch the pen at the end of the ta and before the fl ta... Isnt the catch a part of the trick thumbaround ?

so i'm working on tryign to do a triple ta right now and i was able to get it a few times
but here's my question...after teh initial ta, do you use a more curved push with your thumb for the second and third ta (well...fl TAs), or do you just push foward to get the two fl tas
i did a triple ta with a more foward push, but i do a double ta with a curved push
by curved i mean like...i curve my thumb a bit to go around for the next ta -

I've been working on my FL TA's for a while now (current record quintuple, pure luck). I have found out that it's eaisest for me when I kinda flick my thumb to the back of the pen, Idk how to really explain it but I think thats the best I got

I do my FL TAs with pure hand motion. My index finger is pointing straight and I use a very controlled hand circular hand motion for my FL TA. No push from my index or any other fingers. It's basically a mini-aerial because it does do a little jump sometimes. Hard to do, but it can be done very quickly like ayatori.

Almost like Ext TA/Fake Double positioning?
Do you know what I mean? -

I think I do. Yes. -

So, Look Into the Sun, would you say it's easier/more convenient/"better" to do the triple TA while keeping your thumb straight and using nothing but hand motion (no thumb motion really) because I do what JC does, I kinda push my thumb forward and curve it a bit to the outside.

Actually, it's a lot harder with your index straight and pure hand motion, but you can do it really quickly and smooth -- looks a lot better imo. It's really up to you though. Learning it initially with the pinch push would help though. -

- It's Called FL TA not Tan.
- The intro had the wrong spelling. It's "Thumb" not "Thoumb".

it's Fltan coz in chinese/taiwanese notation fl tan is fingerless thumbaround normal and fl tar is fingerless thumbaround reverse....a bit different to english way
iirc anyway. -

I see. I've seen people notate it with a space. And anyways it's also "cont."

Lol... then tell yourself that you're setting a higher expectation. It's like... your fine setting at Triple TA so you always catch it there. Just control ur thumb to do one more FL TA. XD -

When doing cont. fl ta do I have to move my thumb or hand? Or both?
-
Date: Sat, May 9 2009 13:07:19
I use my hand and thumb for me i think its easier
