    it was a 45ish second tutorial xD
    but it was a good tutorial ohmy.gif
    why'd you have to remove it
    (well, thank goodness i saw it before you did xD)
    you know...if you're so concerned about how you sounded, just point to your fingers and show that you build up pressure and then flick your index up... >.<''
    oh well, doesn't really affect me anymore but i'm sure there are plenty of people who'd want to learn that trick wink.gif

    Snap flip is simply an air trick caused by snaping your fingers. (presure between T & 2). When the thumb snaps up and you hear a 'snap' the pen flies into the air. I see a lot of videos where ppl just lift their thumb up or move their whole hand to toss the pen into the air instead of using a snap to send the pen into the air. In this example notice that the hand doesn't move to throw the pencil into the air, just a quick snap.

    BakTap is done from the back of one finger with a push from the side of the finger next to it.

    The Bakflip is performed like the Snap flip, with a sharp snaping motion between two fingers (not throwing the pen by moving the hand) with the start position the same as the Baktap.
