   this thread will hopefully give everyone a boost for spinning. What you basically do is partner up with at least one person (ask/PM) on a trick/combo that none of you guys know. Then after announcing it here, it'll be a race to see who can get it first.

   Trick/Combo:

   Who finished first/date finished:
   
   This gives motivation to learn a new trick because
   1)you've actually got someone to compete against
   2)you've announced it publicly.

   Let's make the challenges pretty difficult though. For instance, first one to learn Triple TA or first on to learn Ringaround Harmonic. To show you have learnt the trick first you should show a video of you doing the trick a couple of times without a drop in one, single shot, unedited video.
   
   
   So now I wonder... Will anyone join my challenge? I would like to challenge someone to learning Basketballspin, Spiderspin and Ringaround Reverse. Anyone up for this challenge?

   Wierd... I was thinking about starting something like this. I like it. I cant join though because I dont exactly have availability to a computer just when ever. I only have true access to a computer about once a week. Other than that I steal wifi with my iTouch.

   Sounds fun. Triple ta, spider spins and RA rev I already know, but I don't know how to basketballspin. Hmmm I would but... Too lazy to learn the basketball spin, looks too hard to link. I'll stick with inverse fingerspins. :] I like the idea of having people learning spider spins. Spider spins are really really unappreciated even though it's an awesome trick (Go Kam for inventing it).
   
   I don't like the whole partnering up thing, seems like someone would have to go out of their way to do it. Best to be partnered up with the person above you in the thread. Multiple partners sound cool.
   
   Is it possible to learn a hybrid/mini-combo? Would a Devil's Sonic ~ Spiderspin > FL TA ~ IPBA Rev ~ FL Inv Shadow be too hard? It's a mini-combo I've thought up but too lazy to actually learn. :]
