    sry i cant post a video x_x i made new trick called infinty release.
    description in sequence:
    start infinity
    when index and thumb are holding it, release onto back of hand (need rotation)
    wait for a TA done on back of hand, catch with any fingers like shadow

    wondering if its been made, hope not.
    guess it would make sense to be called infinity shadow.

    The Infinity Release is a pre-existing trick. It is a infinity aerial trick. Read the wiki for further details.

    The trick you are doing is most likely a hybrid.

    I assume it's something like this?

    Wiper Rev T1 > Thumbaround T1 - 12 ~> Shadow T1 - 12

    well, i guess. sry i made the mistake. its not a shadow type thing, as i cannot do it, so it wouldnt qualify for one (full one)
    Also, it has to be an infinity, and not wiper. the thumbaround semi makes sense.

    Post a vid. And you should have posted this in the ID this trick thread. I can do the hybrid you're speaking of. At least, I think I know what you're doing, but it's hard to break down the hybrid. I'm a noob. :P

    Perhaps....

    Wiper Rev T1 > Thumbaround T1-12 ~> Backhand Spin T1 -12?

    EDIT

    Don't worry bit3. Just wait. Almighty sketching will be here to save the day. I just know it!

    Wiper Rev T1 -> Pass T1 - 12 -> Shadow 12 - **

    I think he means it's like an Extended Infinity but instead on finishing the infinity by doing the final Pass Rev 12 - T1, you 'release' it and finish it like the second half of a shadow. I think the reason he can do this and not shadow is because you're holding it at the end of the pen so its easier to get on top of the back of your hand.

    Well that's my theory anyway :s

    Well, I can do the hybrid 2 ways. Having it spin on the back of my hand or just over my fingers. So I'm giving two possible answers.

    Look at Kam's spinning.
    Is he doing Infinity Release?

    I think that's the Double Infinty Release since he clearly releases from the 23 slot. huh.gif

    @Xero:
    Infinity Release just means releasing the pen during an Infinity Combo. It doesn't matter which finger slot you use.

    Infinity Release really should be dropped in favor of the actual tricks done: NeoSonic/Fingeraround Reverse Release or Fingeraround Release (depending on where you release the pen from) since Infinity is just a combo itself.


    @bit3: please give more info about how the pen moves. Where does the pen travel to get onto the back of the hand? What does the pen go around before going onto the back of the hand? Is most of the pen above or below the thumb and index finger before releasing the pen? Does the pen go up into the air at any point?

    I believe my trick is most like that, but I don't have any pass in it. I know for a fact that it has half a shadow, which is awkward as I cannot do it. I start infinity, then with the index and thumb I thrust and release it to the back of my hand, like a shadow. REALLY sorry I can't post a video, my digital camera isn't working currently and I don't have a webcam.

    *****Reply to Sketchy****
    **The pen travels to the thumb and spins (varied) times and gets caught with the index and middle. It is 0 arieal, at least it should be. When the pen spins on the back, the whole pen is up there. If it is a complete success, you can start it continiously with a infinity/ Pass and Wiper.
    I have MUCH soubt that it's a Neo Sonic/Fingeraround Reverse Release or Fingeraround Release. I don't believe I could do NeoSonic, so that is highly unlikely.




    If somebody could post a video of how they think it is done ill gladly tell you guys if it's right, like charades, except ill tell you what's wrong. Just start of with infinity, release to the back with no arieal, then let it spin one time on the back, and catch with index and middle.

    None of them hit the trick, but video 3 was the closest. You released at the index and middle, and not thumb and index part of the infnity. That part is one of the critical parts. the rest was perfect. So remeber, release with THUMB and INDEX instead of index and middle. It should travel WHILE the pen is spinning on the back (from index and thumb to tio if thumb, then index knuckle then catch.)

    ***REMEBER***
    THE PEN NEVERS GOES TO THE AIR!

    Does the pen go through the 12 slot, even though the index and middle fingers do not hold the pen?

    Which direction does the pen spin on the back of the hand? (right-handed: clockwise or counter-clockwise)

    I think that you are thinking of an infinity to indexaround, but idk. I can do that one too.

    Sorry, I'm not a penspinning nerd and I don't know what 12 slot is.

    I will completely describe the pen's place.

    ***The hand is placed down (knuckles on top)
    1.HALF wiper with index and thumb
    2.Then it goes into regular writing position, but all fingers are relaxed.
    3.Goes AROUND index knuckle and moves a few cm to the hole between middle and ring fingers.
    4.Middle and ring fingers open and grab the pen.
    Thats it.

    12 is a shorter way of saying the index/middle finger slot

    To me it seems like you're doing infinity -> indexmiddle around t1-23
    or infinity -> Index around ~> fingerless shadow to 23
