    basically you wait until the first bust is almost complete.. (the pen is perpendicular to your fingers) and then move ur index over..

    Is the feel for multiple twisted sonic busts any different from the feel for extended thumbaround busts? I am better at ext ta busts but I can't do tw sonic busts cleanly using my muscle memory from the ext ta bust.

    they are.. at least for me.. its the same i can ext ta busts more consistently.. i have a feeling its the angle at which the pen goes INTo the busts that makes it different but :dunno:

    we're all kinda straying away from the original topic of helping someone learn how to bust or give advice/tips.. so im gonna get back on track.. if u want to post ur bust records im sure theres a topic for that :) anyways... something i learned while i was trying to bust is that im more successful if my busts are as fast as my twisted sonic that leads into that.. ie i was always doing a fast twisted sonic into slow busts which of course flung the pen off to the side due to the extra momentum.. granted i could still double bust doing this but triple and over wasnt that successful.. sounds kinda obvious but i didnt notice that until my busts' speed matched my twisted sonic speed did i get more busts more often.. so that might help some people.. also.. bust speed.. again this is obvious but your finger has to keep moving at the same speed. for whatever reason i busted fast the first 2 busts or so and then slowed down.. so yeah.. idk just my mistakes that i make when im busting..

  34. Kirby
    Date: Thu, Jul 22 2010 18:07:19

    You can do 3 or 4 more consistently if you bust slower. But if you wanna get some like 10+ busts, then bust faster. Although if you go faster you become less consistent. This is what happens for me although it may be different for you.

    Try putting COG mark on your mod.. Then watch it closely. After the 1st bust, the position of the 2nd bust must be like the 1st one. Do u get my point? And on the 3rd one, the COG must be somewhat inside between the index and mid finger, then bust it like the 2nd one and do it over and over. Also, when the pen doesn't really go around the index much, try fixing your busting angle. There is a correct or.. Atleast, appropriate busting position of the hand. Try to explore and copy bust styles ^^v

    Read the post of mine at the top of the page, the same thing goes for twisted sonic. I prefer slow, it gives me more control, so I can do more consistant busts.

    id have to say its a trick because you cant really break it down to simpler form. like hybrids are generally 2 tricks linked/interrupted by one another of which multiple busts arent. i suppose it could be considered a mini combo though.. considering that its many tricked linked together but i still think it classifies as a trick

    Isn't busting usually a very personalized sort of thing? It doesn't seem like something that people do similarly, which makes it a little harder to teach. It looks like most people eventually develop their own sort of "method" or "style", which slightly resembles whoever they were learning from.

    you hit the nail on the head with this. busting styles differ from person to person pretty much which DOES make it harder to learn and teach (which is why i'm assuming there aren't that many tutorials that have helped me personally :P) but yes the busting style depends on the person

  54. casual
    Date: Tue, Aug 31 2010 17:24:39

    The motion for the third bust is exactly the same as for the second bust, so just focus on repeating the motion for another bust. All it takes is lots of practice. There really isn't a secret to getting it.

  60. KTrinh93
    Date: Sun, Oct 10 2010 22:09:43

    What helped me with busting (I'm still bad but I've gotten better) is looking at my finger and where and when I need to move it as the pen is going around. Surely there are people that can bust without looking but when you're learning it, it helps a lot to look at your hand and where the pen is.

    when trying to do faster/more busts, are you supposed to spin more on the tip of your indexfinger? the 1/3 of the finger =.=>

    generally yes you want to spin at the tip if you are a fast buster.. but faster = less control so i probably wouldnt try to fast bust when you're learning to bust.. unless you were naturally made to fast bust then go ahead.

  72. hahakumquat
    Date: Thu, Oct 28 2010 05:09:08

    if you feel like you get the feeling, but it doesnt work, fast busting seems to help. whenever i bust at the nail of my finger, i get more consistently. but remember, only if you feel like you know how it should feel. otherwise, stick to the near-base of your finger, even if it has more chance to get caught

    I myself cant do double busts yet, but it looks like that you're pushing it with your middle finger every time (correct me if im wrong), when you're supposed to have a flick of the wrist make the pen spin around your index continuously. ( i do shit busts, but I've seen slow-mos xD)

    HOLY CRAP. Last night, I was just doing some homework, when i decided to try out double bust. I was trying for a little while, then BAM. It happened. I successfully did a double bust. I sat there motionless for about 5 seconds, then I literally yelled out, "YES!" I was so happy. After about 1 1/3 months of on and off practicing of trying to double bust, I finally did it. It was so awesome.

  81. casual
    Date: Mon, Nov 22 2010 04:56:55

    Just curious... how consistent are everyone's busts? I seem to go into good busting periods and bad busting periods. Like, some days I can do 4 or 5 busts easily and some days I can barely do 2. Is this a case of lack of practice? (even though I practice like everyday >.>)

  82. c3z
    Date: Mon, Nov 22 2010 05:16:08

    same with me. I can get 2 consistently but some days i get 4-5 while others i can barely get 3. i think it helps to warm up with different tricks beforehand, like fingerpasses.

    This is not exactly about multiple busts but... I need help with twisted sonic bust > bust > aerial bust...I can get the double bust down with ok consistency but I have a bit of trouble going into the aerial bust and a lot more trouble catching it in 12. like in what direction should the pen be pointing when I lift up my finger to catch it? (Also, I'm trying to connect it like twisted sonic bust > bust > aerial bust > bust > bust > aerial bust etc., if that makes a difference). Sorry for the very vague question but I really want to learn this combo

    You'd have to be more specific if you want help with double busting. Just pointing something out that you have your notation is confusing. It should be Twisted Sonic Bust > FL IA if you want to put it that way but Twisted Sonic Fli Around - Twissted Sonic Bust is weird for notating it.

    Did you watch eso's video yet? I'd recommend it. If you have already, then just practice doing it with a normal IndexAround (not Fingerlessly). Once you get the motion down, work on making it fingerless.

    I really need help on my multiple busts. I can only get 2 right now. And my double bust is pretty consistent. When I go for 3 or more. the pen just like bounces/hits my finger. I've watchd tutorials. and they all say different things. Vic moves his finger like diagonal (in a short motion). KTrinh slides his finger. xxx264? moves his hand in a circle. Eternal moves his hand downward(fingers stiff). And kUzu moves his hand sideways circular. So i really need help. Also I have seen in some videos their other fingers (2,3,4) are not really bent down, they are just casually up. But mines are somewhat bent down.

    The motion for a double bust is similar to that of a double bak. Learning cont index bak is 10x easier then busting. If you know how to do the cont bak, a bust is simply that, in reverse and in a more horizontal manner.So i suggest you do learn in and try and apply the same motion when busting but in reverse. You just have to keep doing it, over and over untill you get it. Nothing anyone says will help u that much really, it just takes time.

    So I can now consistently do 3 ext ta busts and my record is at 9, but that was from dumb luck. I find that as I try to do more busts, the bust angle starts to grow more and more horizontal and that's how I mess up. Is there a way to adjust this?

  113. OG
    Date: Mon, Dec 20 2010 23:08:17

    @casual Unfortunately, busting (and most cont. tricks) simply require tons of practice... So practice more? However, it would also help to know what kind of pen you may be using when you're practicing your busting... Try making your bust motion more circular, if possible.

  114. casual
    Date: Tue, Dec 21 2010 00:20:04

    I practice predominantly with a Dr.KT, though the mod doesn't really affect my busting much as I usually only get one extra bust with the KT versus the MX. :/ But I never thought of making my bust motion more circular, I've always tried to make it more like a really flat oval. I'll keep that in mind.

  115. scout
    Date: Wed, Dec 22 2010 01:39:38

    Tip for some of you guys from my personal experience :) For heavier mods, you really don't flick as hard as you really think you need to. You just need momentum from the flick, so it's a very slight flick. For mods as the MX, you will need a bigger flick for it, as a lighter mod needs more momentum. This takes some practice guys, it's pretty hard but a great trick to learn to use for stuff like ending combos. P.S. Also, you guys should relax your whole arm, and your fingers. Helps much.

    Date: Wed, Dec 29 2010 20:30:39

    it's a really hard trick. i'm using an MX too, and i've only gotten it about 10 times. a buster helps, but is unneccesary. maybe try to flatten the rotation to make it more horizontal. that's what works for me.

  119. Van
    Date: Wed, Dec 29 2010 20:36:49

    for me, when i try to go in to the second motion, my finger does not go off the pen, or it becomes a arieal bust :(

  120. browndog12
    Date: Wed, Dec 29 2010 23:01:10

    your finger is'nt meant to come off the pen. it's meant to slide down or up it, whichever method you are using. maybe try the one that you're not using. both work, but for some, one is easier than the other. see if you can find a video tutorial where the spinner is sliding their finger the opposite way that you are. hope that made sense :S

  122. browndog12
    Date: Wed, Jan 19 2011 04:27:02

    it depends on a lot of things. it took me about a week, learning with a Dr. Kt. using a buster won't take as long, and the other way around, using a light mod like a comssa will take a while.

    yup, i got my first double bust two days ago vic's tut is probably the best, as i think that he is the only one who explains about the push with the middle finger when i watched ktrinhs vid he said to move the finger to the end of the pen for the next bust, so i tried that and couldnt do it, now that i push with my middle finger, i can double bust

    Just keep practicing. You'll be able to get it eventually. The reason could be because how you practice is more orientated towards air bust. Cont. tricks are always about practice so you'll be able to get 3 bust.

  144. Riley
    Date: Tue, Mar 1 2011 05:17:21

    Isn't using your middle finger for busting considered a cont. indexaround? Or is it that you're using it just barely, that it's considered a bust?

  145. Hippo2626
    Date: Tue, Mar 1 2011 05:37:29

    @Riley no the middle finger is used as a contact mechanism to initate the push started by the motion of the wrist. In an indexaround, THe force comes from the motion of the moving middle finger.

    This is actually what happens to me. Generally after maybe the 6th bust, they start to not spin at the same angle in relation to my finger. Like the busts will start to slant more and more until I drop. D:

    don't make pen spin so 'perpendicular' to index finger (confusing wording), make spin of pen more horizontal than what you are doing...also try to flatten hand so middle, ring and pinky fingers are stretched out; when catching final bust you should try to have those fingers stretched out as well (makes it look better) angle used is alright xD pretty smooth too.

    Whenever I get to my 3rd bust, the pen starts moving away from my hand, and I copy exactly what vic says to do in his tut. How do I regain control of my pen when this happens? Is there a way to prevent this?

    Date: Mon, Apr 25 2011 05:21:46

    @scout You have to remember to wrap the pen down w/ your index finger to keep it in place. also do not whack the pen w/ your middle finger. just use the pen's momentum and slightly tap it w/ the middle finger or else it'll go flying(aerial bust if you dont whack it to the side). so remember to wrap w/ index finger which takes some getting used to. and remember to tap it slightly w/ middle finger. Guys I found this pretty good tutorial that helped me a lot. can get like 4~5 busts consistently http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97yIYcm5h7I

    Is this a twisted sonic bust? I read some tutorial say that twisted sonic bust is twisted Sonic + [B]fingerless[/B] indexaround. What i am doing is only twisted sonic + normal indexaround [video=youtube;mi6qUIw2Ww4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi6qUIw2Ww4[/video]

    @sasuak Yes what you do look like normal indexaround but not fingerless one, but it's ok for beginning. Just do more practice and try to push with your index finger only. It would advance soon.

    Name some busting styles that are particular to a spinner. Here are some examples: Spinnerpeem: Finger tucked in, index straight and fully extended, lots of wrist motion Supawit: Around the tip of the finger Nory and i.suk: All fingers extended, index slightly raised Vicgotgame: using the middle finger bounce, subtle hand twists etc etc. Post some if I mised some. Which are the most effective for you? Which ones look best? My favorite is Vicgotgame's. So sexy.

    Usually you finish busts with most of the pen facing away from you (like how you start tw sonic busts, except in the 12 finger slot). You then follow what the tutorial says.

I think someone said this already in another (pretty similar) thread, but vics busting method that you say is "unique" because he uses his middle finger to push the pen isnt actually unique. Its the way pretty much everyone busts. Itd be really hard to ONLY use the index finger, although i guess some people can, like peem? (I dunno about him, youd have to watch his busts in slomo)

It is needed to bust unless you apply the pinky bust method to the index finger where you will get a lot of air. Make a fist with the index pointing out and when you bust that why you'll have to compensate with a big hand movement. on a side note, fel2fram did a index knuckle bust as well [video=youtube;9dy8iabkAzc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dy8iabkAzc[/video] The finisher

    I don't want to seem like a dick, but i just wanted to point something out. When you say "The way i bust is VicGotGames way, where you hit the pen with your middle finger", thats just the normal way of busting. Theres different styles of how people position their hands while busting, (like people may curl their fingers up, stick their pinky up, relax their hand, etc) but theres pretty much only one way you can get the pen around your finger, and that's by using your middle finger. It might not look like someone's using their middle finger, (like when peem busts) but if you watch his busting in slow-mo, you'll see that he DOES use his middle finger. Itd be near impossible (still possible, but HIGHLY unused and unlikely to be done good) to bust only using your index, or any other way. I guess when vic made his tut lots of people thought "Oh, that must be Vics own personal way of busting, using his middle finger!". But really, he was just the first one to point out that you use your middle finger while busting. Alright so my rant is over, just had to put that out there. Sorry if i sounded like a dick, i just wanted to make that point. Back to the topic, i usually bust with my index straightened, pinky slightly sticking up but still curled, and middle and ring fingers relaxed.

    There was a thread on this before: http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=6848 As I've said in the above quote, it is possible to bust without the middle finger but all of them are high-leveled, super-advanced, nearly-no-one-uses-them busting methods, Other than that[SIZE="4"] ALL COMMON BUSTING "METHODS" REQUIRE THE MIDDLE FINGER TO PUSH IT[/SIZE] What is a bust? A fingerless index around. What does fingerless mean? Executing a trick with a different type of push commonly with the wrist movement (push finger does not move but the force is generated by the wrist movement) What is an indexaround? The pen goes around the index finger, being pushed with the middle finger. Therefore a bust is, an index around being pushed by the middle finger but the force is generated by the wrist movements. (middle finger is the contact but the force is generated by the wrist movement to push the pen) The only difference between vic's busting and the more common ones like supawit is their STYLE of busting. Vic's style is to bust closer the the palm (the inner most phalanx) while supa is on the outer phalanx. If you don't believe me try this: Clamping in 2,3 and 4 and do ext ta bust. (if you bust like supawit) and make sure that your middle finger is always touching your palm. The only way to bust that way is to map the style of pinkybusting to the index finger.

    Hey Awsomex3, you can do it the way your are doing it now but in the long run it won't be very good. Doing the around at the base of the finger has a disadvantage because your middle finger will get in the way when doing more difficult tricks. I guess though you could still do the around that way.

    It is a fingerless trick. However the Middle is still used to be the contact to push (force generated isn't generated from the middle finger but the movement of the wrist movement.

    Wow, thanks. That was helpful. I usually use my middle finger to generate momentum, which is probably why I can't get a high number of busts. I tend to lose momentum after my 5-7th bust.

    Not everyone feels comfortable with that method. The best advice I can give you is to stall a tiny bit after the first bust, and then jerk the index finger forward for subsequent busts. The microscopic delay makes all the difference in the world.

    I know the "normal" way to do this is using your middle finger, but I always felt more comfortable attempting to do this with my index finger whipping around the pen itself. I haven't got it yet, but I was wondering. Is it IMPOSSIBLE to do it with index finger only? Would it cause me to learn bad muscle memory?

The thing to remember is that you're tapping it VERY lightly with that middle finger, it's not a hard motion. [QUOTE=Karrot wrote: I keep practicing but I could only get it once every twenty tries

  282. Danny116
    Date: Wed, May 16 2012 10:47:27

    man i wish they update these things D: imho using the middle finger as a bump is the only way to control a bust. period. it is possible to do busts with just the finger but imo the lack of control is appalling D: (at least in my experience) higher level "bust-like" tricks (i.e. continuous hai tua, punkan) use a single contact point (top of the hand, forearm respectively) because just the surface area (and timing) is enough to control the pen. so there really isnt a "vicgotgame method" or an even older term "peem style," the middle finger will always be a part of a bust. now its just now one styles their busts that is looks a certain way :P (compare peem to vicgotgame, both are doing the same thing, looks different, but all the mechanics are the same. and all this is valid for ext TA busts as well :3 pheww finally got that off my mind o-o"

    @Danny116 lol i just noticed your post. im not sure if your referring to me when you commented on the vicgotgame method, but i was saying "the method vicgotgame teaches in his tutorial" its not like its his own method :P and there is a peem style. its the style he does it. it visually looks different from when tek busts, so its peem "style". but with that said, i agree with what you said in the post. there isnt more than one method, the middle finger or is going to be used for the high numbers, its just the way to use you middle finger that changes your style.

    @jliba12 watch vgg's tutorial again, it should clear everything up. try using you're other hand to move the pen in the motion the bust goes around the finger. you want to push up with your hand once the pen is just about the finish the bust. if you're doing tw. sonic bust correctly, you will notice that the middle finger is below the pen when the first bust is about to finish. good luck :)

    are you advanced enough to learn this yet? well if you are then learn your twisted sonic bust palm down then do a twisted sonic bust but when its about to fall off your hand it will sit on your middle finger for a split second this is the time to move your hand so that the pen is pushed by the edge of your middle finger... the only other thing to do is practice after that.....

    when you start the trick and the pen is in 23, the heavy end should be pointed away, and you should end the trick with the heavy end pointed towards you.

    Date: Wed, Oct 3 2012 21:01:20

    The closer you get to the webbing of your fingers, the higher chance you have of messing up. Try as best as you can to get it NOT horizontal. Try to get it as close to 30-45 degrees as possible and on the middle part of your finger. Slow down so your middle finger has time to smack the pen.

  325. Joiemoie
    Date: Wed, Oct 17 2012 22:11:48

    I figured it out. I wasn't moving my finger. It was stiff while I kept spinning my wrist. I'd lose control after 4 busts. Just watch your pen and imagine your pen moving a bit in a circle. Just imagining it and watching your pen will increase the number of your busts. You may not feel it, and it may seem like lies, but it works. Pretend you're twisting your finger around and even if you don't consciously move your finger, you will subconsciously move it.

    You need to control the angle of the pen, where you hit it, and around which part (near tip, middle, or base, depending on your bust style) as well as the motion itself (you might need to adjust the motion if the pen goes a little out of control). If you want more, train just busts for 1-2 hours a day for about a week, after that, you should see noticeable improvement. - i.Suk

    For more busts: You should try to find a busting rythm that you're comfortable with. When you find that rythm also stick try to stick to the rythm. Like this you have a repetition of the same movement in the same amount of time. So you only need to learn that one movement to get more busts. But dont get frustrated if it doesnt work immediatly. You need to let your body and mind enough time for the movement to sink in. ^^

    Yes you can, that's how busting works LOL. The busting technique isn't different from an unmod RSVP to a insanely heavy mod like VGG Emboss or KiTten

    Thank you, really ^^ that's how it works, i've done like 8 with pencil with same technique, @Supergirl Thank you :D , Korean busts, that's why some people need to keep all their fingers straight while busting, because the pen is always in top, and if i bend my fingers pen will just fall ;_; :D

    @Saionji When using this method with a lighter pen it loses momentum more quickly so it does not work as consistantly. With a lighter mod you need to push it around your finger more or else it will just stop. (I'm really bad at busting so don't take my comments too seriously) btw you should change your name back. sekai is so much better (and easier to pronounce)

    when your going to air bust hit the pen with your middle finger like VGG.... just relax your hand when you perform the air bust and let the pen landed in your index finger then perform the bust. Like this : [video=youtube;YOqZ6iGMZGQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOqZ6iGMZGQ[/video] so if you understand the video right, it seems the middle finger has a LOT to do with aerial busts. seems that it plays two parts: 1. kinda serves to "toss" the pen in the air to start the aerial, 2. it seems to be the finger that stops the downward motion, before the index starts the next bust

  377. shoeman6

    Lots of different ways you could make it heavier. A metal comssa will be fine just though, you just need to learn the technique. :)

    Date: Thu, Mar 21 2013 23:28:32

    hah, learn busts with light mod and your busts will be somewhat more stable anyways, you don't need a heavy mod to bust.. metal comssa momentum is good enough you can add rings of grip/replace hggs with signos to make it heavier.

    Well, a Month depends on a lot of factors. If you practice a lot in a day, you can get lots of Busts probably in a few weeks or even days if you understand the Concept of Busting. Took me 1 Month to be able to bust 2 as I was learning it wrongly at first. XD

    I Used my Middle Finger to lightly Tap the Pen so that it would go over. That was the Wrong Part as a Bust is supposed to be Fingerless. As for your Mistake, I think you should practice more and focus on getting the Fingerless Part after the Twisted Sonic.

    When i bust, my hand face towards my stomach. Is that still considered busting. If not how do i make my hand palm down?

  394. Ecnunn
    Date: Sat, Jun 29 2013 02:21:10

    @Season, if you think of the twisted sonic bust as a "twisted sonic bust > index bak rev." instead of "twisted sonic > index around", it should solve that problem. cuz if you stop relying on a push by the middle finger for the around, and use the fingerless bak instead, u won't need to turn your hand. This will also help make multiple busting easier when you get to it.

  399. wise_~fusion~
    Date: Thu, Oct 24 2013 14:35:12

    For multiple bust, you dont slide your finger up but instead there is a short air time between each bust, you just got to get used to it...and timing is really important for the busts and yup it is just in opposite direction

    You need to control the angle of the pen, where you hit it, and around which part (near tip, middle, or base, depending on your bust style) as well as the motion itself (you might need to adjust the motion if the pen goes a little out of control). If you want more, train just busts for 1-2 hr a day for about a week, after that, you should see noticeable improvement. Credits to i.suk for the Tip. Since you are 3 months, I'll suggest you to focus on other Hybrid Tricks first and try to practice Double Bust too. :)

    Definitely waterfall mod. Busters and advanced mods are mostly used to make the combos look sexy. For beginners practice on beginner mods, but in this case, the waterfall mod. If you practice on busters, your hands are supposed to tickle. c:

  419. Whirlpool
    Date: Wed, Jan 22 2014 17:54:37

    I mean I have done it like twice(thriple bust). I'll give you what I know, so when doing the double try to get that constantly. When I tryed to triple(before) I would never do it because it was hard for me to get a double but I worked on being constant and when you want to do the third bust, you know when doing a double you move your finger so the pen does another bust, just do it again the same motion. I tryed to give you my advice hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

    Make a circle motion with your finger while moving your arms forward once your first burst travels to under your index. It doesn't matter if can't learn it immediately, you'll get used to this motion and be able to do it within a couple of days (or weeks).

    [B] The secret to multiple busts[/B] Hello, i am ShadowParadox. I have been practisong multiple busts for the past 7 months! And today i will share with you a secret to multiple busts that i am sure no one has found out about. You have been told about using the middle finger to bump the pen up, although this is true i am sure many of you are still wondering why you cannot do 2, 3 or however many you would like to do. So here we go, a secret to multiple busts you havent been told about yet. Lets begin shall we So the secret of multiple busts is :

    SpoilerPatience. And im not talking about patience over weeks, months even years of practise. I'm talking about patience when you do the bust. You see when you do busts you are probably rushing your movements and bumping the pen up too early. You need to remember when you do busts to wait that "little" bit extra before doing the next bump. Keep this in mind when doing each bust and you should be able to do more. Another thing when doing busts is that you should keep a good speed for busts : too slow and you will lose momentum quickly, too fast and you wont be able to control it.
    I hope you have been enlightened by my teaching and good luck with your practise.

    Oh, i haven't heard or seen that technique for multiple busting before. Now that you pointed it out to me, after 2 busts i subconsciously rush my movement. I will try it @ShadowParadox. Thanks for the help.

    how many of you people use the middle finger to push for the bust? ive been trying to remove my middle finger from the bust motion... i think a lot of the infinite busts peeps tend to use the index for the full bust motion and not the mid.

    I do, i think it is a really good way. VGG gets alot of multiple busts using this method. KTrinh93 doesn't use his mid finger, if you're having trouble removing your mid finger, KTrinh93's tut teaches it with only the index

    i think he don't need a tutorial for a trick, since he participated in WC12 ;) Anyway i think busts without the push of the middlefinger look stylisher and better.

    [video=youtube;1Y3ioVHjxKM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y3ioVHjxKM[/video] a few busts at start (120 fps slomo) yes, pen hits middle, but when i do busts my mind focuses entirely on index finger's motion i saw peem's busts irl at zhigao tournament gathering, it seems like he doesn't use middle but guess we need high-speed slomo to examine it --> i suspect he hits pen in difference place on middle finger (most people hit on distal 2 segments, peem hits near base of middle instead) imo, most beautiful busts are with middle, ring and pinky all straight, with small angle between index and middle, and pen spinning nearer to tip of index (rather than base)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5tqOP6A1Vs I slomo'd the second half of this vid when i was studying peem busts before and it appears that he does use middle finger. @neoknux_009 maybe you guys wanna see for yourself. Peemdoes my favourite busts but my fingers arent flexible enough. Btw does peem do weissan or korean busts? Anyway about not using middle finger, where would the momentum come from to do more busts? I assume a13x gets the most busts and he uses middle finger.

  452. AfroSquared
    Date: Tue, Aug 26 2014 11:06:28

    @ShadowParadox you're right. Peem does use his middle finger. You can bust with only your index finger but there is a limit to how many you can do until you lose momentum and the pen drops. However when using your middle finger, the pen gets more momentum after each bust therefore making it possible to do a infinite amount. Unfortunatley, an infinite amount of busts is not possible because of human error, tired fingers etc. but a programmed robot could do an infinite amount.

    Can someone help me with twisted sonic double bust. Every time I try to double bust I catch the pen instead of continuing the rotation. It's so frustrating because I have been practicing this trick for like a hour and I keep doing the same thing wrong. I can't seem to continue the rotation.

    First practice not catching it, then practice the next movement, even if you aren't getting it to spin. After you are used to not just catching it I suppose you can work on actually doing multiple busts. And it took me and probably everybody else on this board more than an hour to get multiple busts, so don't get discouraged quite yet :)

    Its a start; its going to take you a while to get it. Try to duplicate the exact motion of the first bust.

    Yes, it is normal-ish. If you watched Vicgotgame's tutorial, he said that when you use your middle finger to tap the pen into the air, it will feel weird at first but after practice you will learn how to put just enough force for the pen the go round the index finger. So keep on practicing and you'll get it. I also recommend to watch his tutorial again and again until you get it and examine your busts to see if you are doing it incorrectly. What I did to examine my busts was I got my friends iPhone 5S and click on camera and went to the slomo video recorder (120 fps). I then played it back in slow motion and looked at how i did my busts and looked a VGG's slomo to see if i was doing it right.

    I watched a lot of Japanese spinners when I was trying to learn to multiple bust, and I think, at least from their videos, I use slight wrist motion combined with controlling the index finger to execute the multiple bust.

    Because... other people have more trouble than you with penspinning? There's a reason I am 2 years a penspinner and I'm still barely mediocre: my hands aren't built for it and it is just harder for me.

    Trouble with what, practicing? because there's nothing left to say about busting Keep asking, or watching excesive amounts of tutorial/overreading stuff it's like an illusion of ''i'm doing something'' when you're actually just avoiding practicing

    @N!k Yeah...the only things which you can argue that your "hands aren't built for" would be crazy inhuman flexibility links like Fire@Fox (spelling? lol) does, or maybe some inverse/reverse flush sonic stuff. For example, I can't do inverse flush sonic still, maybe due to poor ring-pinky independence and a pretty short pinky relative to the rest of my fingers, though ring and pinky are mostly this way for everyone unless further flexibility is built up or somehow present. This makes things like square pass and whatnot very difficult though I'm sure with more practice they would be possible for me. Busts can be done by anyone with an index finger (and ideally also a middle finger), you have no excuse. They're only timing and knowing how/where to position the pen on the finger, that's it. Getting longer bust records does take a very long time though, and it varies from person to person how much it would take to start getting to ridiculous amounts like 50-100+. I can still only do a little over 20 or so, but I only practice busts when I feel like it occasionally ^^ Muscle memory and working up the motor skills and motions needed for pen spinning truly does just come with practice. As long as you don't have a hand injury or something which greatly reduces your fine motor skills in the hands, arthritis, etc. you can learn it with time and practice. Part of the reason I started was that I could not for the life of me do a thumbaround in highschool, though most kids were able to. I started as a person feeling like my hands weren't built for it, or it would not be something I would have any natural aptitude for to begin with, but this has no bearing on your ability to learn to spin at intermediate/higher levels whether it's true for you or not!

    in time it takes to read this thread, i could probably grind enough to increase my bust record, just saying .-. go practice ppl, because that's how you get better ^^ nory 13-15-16 bust vid slomo from 2007 was all i used to learn, basically about practice - my right hand middle and ring finger muscle power is actually very weak (i can't even make spock sign properly on right hand, i can't grip something between those fingers to anywhere near strength my left hand can), but i learnt how to do hard links in 24 and 14 in flush sonic/inv flush sonic position, square pass variations etc - which people with inborn hand flexibility can't do unless they practice either xD also, my right hand was so inflexible it couldn't even do palmspins back in 2009, so i spent 10-15 min every night of 2 months bending fingers back until i felt pain to be able to train palmspin ~ fl ta cont you say your hand isn't built for it? well mine wasn't either, not really excuse unless you are exceptional case either you remain too lazy to train and remain at your current lvl (which is fine, practice is annoying sometimes even though i enjoy spinning - why grind stuff i land 1/50 times and feel noob when i can just spam things i can do 95% of time and feel pro? lol) or you train and get better or, you keep making excuses about yourself there's heaps of ways to get a lot of busts (peem, evolution, nory etcetc), as long as you can kinda raise your index and have middle finger, you can probably get a lot of busts....... the supposed 'pro spinners' are hardly ever talented, they just practiced more and enjoyed spinning ^^

    I don't think everyone can learn power correctly though ^^' I've been practicing multiple busts every day for the past two years, I struggle to do 3 sometimes. My fingers are quite clumsy and inconsistent, and this is something I try to cover up in my videos by taking exceptionally long times recording them with the idea of "monkey with typewriters will eventually write shakespeare with infinite time" It seems okay to just shout "practice", but when you're facing people who are tired of hearing it, and have spent perhaps years trying to learn power or busts, then you're going to have to accept that not everyone has the muscle memory consistency and fine motions to control it, while there are spinners that are able to learn those motions incredibly fast, I'm being outclassed by people maybe with 3 months of experience with some pen spinning prodigies. A fine example is F2F, who showed me he was working on some triangle passes, and he had mastered nearly every single one in under a week, or how he would just learn FL TAs or Busts or Hai Tuas extremely quickly. Or maybe even TBG who does better power than me at 3 months.

    Date: Wed, Sep 3 2014 15:15:01

    i find it...interesting that someone who has mastered fine motions for far harder material to be 'unable' to find a way to do busts well D: not many ppl have the muscle memory consistency or fine motions or sense of hand/pen etc at first, but that's why we practice, right? so we can get these things it's definitely true that some people develop this stuff faster, except i can't really convince myself that it's 'simply impossible' for someone to do certain types of cont that don't require any fancy finger positioning stuff i was a slower learner for cont, but i just mindlessly ground stuff for a long time (pure bust over 3 hr/day, some of it during school classes during 2nd half of 2008, and that got me from 2 to 8...which is remarkably poor progress by today's standards), i'm not expecting ppl to grind this much, but i think if they did, they would be able to get decent progress apparently peem was doing pure power 5-6 hr/day post wt09 to 2010 period, it clearly makes a difference

    What he said People try their hardest to get A's and just barely manage to scrape a B. Then there are people who do no homework and get A's. You can't dismiss that with "practice more", can you? I understand that yes, grinding helps a lot, but I don't think it is possible for anybody to do anything.

As well as this can you help with stopping the pen from flying off of the top of my index finger plox? @i.suk if you can help because im majnly focusing on your style and the fingers are quite close together which i think is causing this.

    if pen is caught between index and middle, increase space between them and try to control pen's plane of rotation better if pen flies off, reduce speed of pen's rotation and don't hit it as high, also try having pen spin a bit lower on index [video=youtube;cevGDfm6fuw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cevGDfm6fuw&list=UUX_6KHqM-Rj3wCortJTZEmg[/video] probs 'best' slomo of my bust technique, pardon the lighting (it was evening in Hong Kong when i was there at end of 2012 or something)

    I agree with i.suk, I would add something, to increase space between your two fingers I'd recommend to bend your middle finger a little bit and stretch your index. That's actually the way I do it, I hope it helps (sun)
