    There are many different types of arounds. Several of the variations is shown by Freeman in his trick concept compilation video. Video by Freeman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPCoWqYHXTE

    Ring around :S is just giving me a lot of trouble. I think i can do it fine now. But putting it into combo's might be hard. The problem is my ring finger moves a bit when i do the ring around. I find bending it in more helps. I do arounds with my fingers all out.

    Does this thread include fingerless arounds? (e.g. middle bak)

    I've pretty much mastered Ringaround but I'd say 45% of the time when I try to do it the pen sort of 'leans' against my outstretched Middle and Index fingers. Any way to stop this?

    The around reverses always give me trouble. When I try to do an around reverse, it usually turns into a neosonic. Any suggestions on how I can correct this?

    try to keep your thumb out of the way while ur doing an around, like if your attempting a index around reverse then you should move your thumb away and train it no to catch the pen in the web of your hand.

    When executing arounds, for example the Middlearound, do you prefer to bend your index or stretch it so it's out of the way?

    This is pretty funny to me, because me and Sankaku were having this exact discussion the other day on tinychat. When I do an around such as middle around I prefer my index finger to be slightly relaxed and pointed outwards, but when Kaku does it he pulls his index finger in all the way bent. When I go to do middle around rev though I like to bring the index in for completing the trick. So I guess the answers that I have for you is that you should do it the way that is the most comfortable for you because that'll make it easier for yourself. For linking purposes though you'll have to practice both ways to see which ways link better into what tricks.

    I can do all the arounds but when I do them, the rest of my fingers are curled in. I want them stretched out because I noticed that it looks a lot better in combos like this : [video=youtube;b7DQZyzHZck]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7DQZyzHZck&feature=player_embedded[/video] any advice you people can give me?

    Just practice problems, ring around is hardest to get, try doing a nother trick to get into it for the momentum, soon you'll be able to do it fine. Sometimes I have problems too, pinky can get tired easily,

    So I was wondering, when you do a fingeraround, it usually go from the side you start to the opposite side. If you didn't get that, I mean when you do a fingerless thumbaround for example, I start out with the blue side, when I stop, the majority of the pen is then shifted to the left side. I have to re adjust it. Is there any special way to do it while doing a fingeraround? Basically, I need help with my continuous fingerarounds, I can't do them.

    You need the pen to slide a bit before your catch. I just delay the catch a bit and that works for me. It takes a bit of practice and good pen control to do.

    im confused as to how pinkyaround are supposed to work, does it require air?

    no actually, PA is quite similar to pinky spread ... (Spread is fingerless fingeraround with your hand palm up?)

    You actually have two different maners to perform a pinkyaround: if you are able to cross your ringfinger under your pinky, you can launch a pinkyaround without using the wrist ;) Now there's an "easier" way to do it (but it's more pinkyBACKaround than pinkyaround): in palm side, you hold the pen between your ring and your pinky. A video is much more clear ^^' (I do not master any of the two way, it's a quick video with slow mo): [video=youtube;05WXunhTLmk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05WXunhTLmk[/video] Hope it will help you ;)

    Ringaround just take so much practice. It's easily 10x as hard as a Middlearound.

    When you do arounds... do you turn your fingers so their facing you?

  27. Eruption
    Date: Tue, Dec 6 2011 03:27:59

    @penzila depends on what arounds you are doing, if you're doing palm vertically then they face you, but if you do palm down down then your fingers faces the ground.

    pinky around will be quite easy once you get the pinky spread.

    noob question alert! so i've been to the breakdown request thread and saw a couple of notations such as indexaround 0.5, ringaround 0.5 etc. how much different are those from simple pass/pass reverse?

    I need help with the indexaround. I can get the pen to go around my finger, but when I go for the catch, one of three things happens. 1) I instinctively jerk my hand forward for some reason while trying to catch it and I am successful sometimes. 2) I jerk my hand forwards and don't catch it. 3) My middle finger doesn't even go for the catch. Any advice?

    Fuck you. Dont post bump a thread. The worst part is that its frigging useless. Go read the forum rules. Dont post stuff like "just practice". This isnt facebook. Stop with your spam and shit.

    Um, I guess it'd be 'shafiibo'... I found it on youtube and it looks like a Bakfall to me, but since I'm new at this I figured I could just be missing something...
