    The Backaround (a.k.a Weissan Backaround) is an Around trick that starts between 2 fingers towards the flap connecting the two fingers at the base, travels around the back of the hand and ends up in the writing position. It has 1 revolution, but can have more. Video Tutorial by Pari UPSB Wiki entry

    Since it's my favourite trick, I'd like to emphasize what is a weissan backaround using screenshots I took from videos of spinners performing it (or some variation like bak 1.5) : (Zombo) (nhk_9) (myself) I hope it will help you to understand where to spin your pen if you want to perform it with weissan style. =)

    weissan? so a backaround is just going around 1 rev and the weissan style goes like on your back of your hand and spin atleast 1.5 revs??

    No weissan is around the base of the finger and literally goes around the back of it, it is still 1.0 revs though.

    The number of rotations does not have to do with "the style" (weissan/korean). You can do both weissan bak 1.0 and weissan bak 1.5, as well as korean bak 1.0 and korean bak 1.5. A korean bak looks more like a fingerless indexaround reverse done at the tip of the finger, whereas during a weissan bak the pen spins close to the back of the hand, as showed in the above screenshots.

    I have big trouble with cont. baks. I can't overtake x2 and it's rare. My pinkybak record is x2 as well, so any tips?

    There is like a snapping motion. I can't explain it too but when I do a Bak, it returns to as how I started the trick. For example, I did a Bak then, the landing of my 2nd Bak is the position also of my 1st Bak. So on and so forth. Do you get my point??:O in some cases, the COP is also INSIDE my index finger and I can do Bak also even the COP is inside. My personal record is x62. I did it a while ago @ school.XD if you want, I have a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWLGhqG2ubQ but 34 only.XD i hope i helped

    Keep practicing ringbak, it will be the hardest to link.

    I believe this thread was made to discuss the Weissan Backaround, not the Fingerless Indexaround Reverse (commonly referred to as "bak" or "korean bak".)
