    A lot of spinners do peace signs or thumbs up at the end of thier videos, I do it too. Peem has his own peace thingy, Baimai does it, and Ponkotu has this thingy he did in the world cup :...: . So why do we do this and when did this start? If you look back at the really old collabs (e.g. JapEn 1st) you dont see any peace signs...

    watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPIcnQP5kQQ this video was made the summer or fall of 2006. I think the sign was born around that.

    it's fine i guess. I like seeing different signs other then thumbs up or peace sign though. Some times the hand sign endings are edited out of collabs i think. or not?

    One reason why people do it is because they are really happy for getting the combo filmed well on camera so thats their victory sign. I guess that's how it started. After that spinners do that just because they like it or to give them their own sort of signature.

    Or some people like a creative sign that adds to the combo, like shadow or ponkotu.

    I'd rather those rock and roll signs where your index and pinky stick out ( w/o the thumb 'cause I heard it's bad ), but it doesn't look that good...

    To me it is a hand gesture of celebration after you complete an awesome combo.

    They did it upside down... and peace sign or thumbs up are the only common hand gestures besides flipping someone off...
