    Alright I've been browsing through the RD and found a couple of tricks I thought you guys might want to look at and use.

    First, the idea of finger movements within sonics. This is Flip's video of it:

    http://media.putfile.com/New-Sonic-Variations

    And this is Fratleym's video of the same idea, which he calls "Side Sonic":

    Here's a video showing finger movements within arounds, by Flip:

    Here's a video showing what is called the "Inversion". This gives you a tool to switch from having the pen "under" the fingers to "over" the fingers in palm down mode. Video by Eburt:

    Table-tricks. Romain shows off the "Casper", pen-spinning style:

    Ivan shows off the "Table infinity" (ignore the string trick):

    Mats shows how to transition to a stall using the table, another video is how to push a trick with the table:

    A video I made to show how to use the table as a "spring board" for an around:

    strat converts some skateboard tricks into PS using the pen as the board and the table as the ground:

    Several attempts by me to produce the "Inverse Thumbspin" (successful attempt at :19):

    An example palm-up combo by Flip:

    http://media.putfile.com/palm-up-combo-example

    A video by me explaining the concept of pressure variable tricks. Tricks where using a different amount of pressure at the push will result in a different rotation for the pen:

    Shoulder bounce, an example of body spinning by Shoeman:

    there's more, maybe I'll post later, if you have more random tricks that could be useful, post.

    some of these things seem really situational

    Others seem like hybrids. Ive never ever really liked hybrids. They nearly all look the same, which is discouraging considering how long it takes to master them

    i'd much rather work on my fingerless thumbspins, and linking continuous ext ta's from a neosonic.

    I'm not sure I understand how that relates to pen spinning.


    From what I see in Romain's clip, he's basically using the table to 'stall' the pen before reversing direction, usually in the TF slot.

    Is this the concept?

  7. Zombo

    the casper involves putting one foot under the board, and one foot over the board

    the PS trick does the same thing but with two fingers.

    so... one finger over, and one finger under, then use it to build pressure and release? huh.gif


    sorry I just never heard of this concept. wink.gif

    hey guys I'd like to see someone attempt a backhand tracer, or the "reverse" version, called the teleporter by tohlz.

    they look so smooth effortless when done right and makes a nice break in the combo.

    i don't quite understand it.
    is it like neo bak 12
    then the pens stays on top of 12 and rolls down the back of your hand to 34

    Backhand Tracer starts on the back of the fingers. It doesn't matter how the pen gets there. Anyway, yes, the pen rolls down the hand from the 12 slot to the 34 slot. Backhand Tracer. See the video of Kam doing it at the wiki article. Kam's video has more finger manipulation than I believe is needed, kelvin's seems to have more freely rolling motion as the fingers move just enough to keep the pen under control.
