    yeah...i used to do mid bak 1.5s in with the pen spinning near the tips of my fingers. i could get 6 and w.e. but i am trying to do it so the pen spins further back towards the hands. learn it the right way, unlike me.

    [video=youtube;mlb4UFt9zzg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlb4UFt9zzg[/video] the same concept can be applied for the cont. midbaks 1.5

    well I started to try it but I cant seem to catch it in a position to do another

    Mhm,maybe its because of your handmove but i dont know exactly how, its a bit the same handmove like you do a ringbak after the midbak^^ for the right handmove i can't give any hints, cause i make it sometimes wrong too xD

    try using a pen with a COG marking (tape, marked insert, etc) when you finish ~1.0 rotations of the first midbak 1.5, your hand should slightly move up and away from you to reset for the next midbak 1.5. watch the COG marking and make sure when you catch it, you are catching it a bit behind the cog marking (it just takes practice). you should feel the pen kinda slide away from your finger as you adjust your hand for the next midbak 1.5 for me, it helped to let the pen spin on both the middle finger AND index finger when i was first learning these. idk if i made any sense, but hope this helps :dunno: EDIT: practice ;)

    make a backwards "C" with your right hand, then raise your middle finger slightly. when doing midbak 1.5 continuous don't let ur wrist use a twisting motion, let it do a "up and down" motion instead.

    every time i do a midbak 1.5, it always land in the same position as when u do a regular midbak. Im i just letting it spin in the wrong place?

    You should be repositioning the pen using hand movement as you catch it. Pull back as though you were doing a neobak > midbak

    Is it advisable to learn neobak > midbak first? Because I'm having trouble doing more than 2 midbak 1.5's.

    lol, i can do up to 6. midbak 1.5 is almost like learning a palmspin 0.5 > fingerless TA. but just easier. :)

    So my record is now 10 with a dc mod. I'm now trying to do this trick with an sc mod, but I'm finding it annoyingly hard. I can't consistently do more than 2 with an sc. Do I have to push down with the middle finger harder with an sc mod to compensate for the slight unbalance?

    I love this trick, i can only get 7 but i get the trick. I never tried with sc mod. seems very hard 0_0

    It kinda depends if you do it at the tip of finger, if so, then it's similar to midbak 1.5's. But if you do it base of finger, with index finger more up, then yah, they are totally different. and can't wait for the tutorial.

    Actually I's say it's more difficult to learn the bak 1.5 cont if your doing it on the tips than the cont. midbak 1.5. The last 1.5 revolutions of the midbak 1.5 is done on top of the 12 area making it easier to get back to the starting position of the midbak whereas if you do a bak 1.5 palm down through the whole thing, the pen can only spin on top of 1 which would be harder to get back to the original bak position.

    Many people say your hand just moves back and forth. That's a NO. When linking the midbaks 1.5, your hand has to turn sideways (away from you) a bit for the catch and then push forward. I'm currently trying to make a speech tuto about midbaks so if you want, you can wait until Saturday/Sunday. :)

    I can't help you much, being only able to do 2 myself, but just remember that the preceding ones do not need more force than the first one, and try to maintain your hand at the same position everytime. And when it's about 90% of the way back from the 1.5 spin move your hand up to do the Midbak at the same spot.

    I know this advice will not be very helpful. But I always thought of Midbak 1.5 cont as lifting your middle finger and keeping it down and lifting it again. Lol my max is 3 so I can't say much. I learnt cont midbak 1.5 from Vicgotgame's slomos.

    Check out this thread: http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=1334 I suggest learning the neobak ~ midbak linkage, it's the same linkage as the cont midbak. 1.5 linkage.

    it's a slow up and back motion followed by a quicker down and forward motion back and forward meaning left and right depending on ur handedness... not away and towards you... that movement comes naturally and adapts depending on how the last midback went... thatll come to you in time a big part of the trick is what ur middle finger is doing, it should be going up and down, opening and closing that game between itself and 1 and 3... if you bring it up too early: you catch it before the extra .5 rev or you catch it way too far up the pen... if you bring it up too late: the pen is on an akward angle and you need to rush the next midback... put it down at the wrong time and it just doesnt work right either the timing windows are fairly small but you have a lot of time to adapt, it's hard to explain, it's like the hand movement and middle finger movement need to be in sync but the timing or pace is flexible, for example you could go ahead and pretty much catch it in 123 for a second before you do the next one or you could not move up and back until the last second as long as you dont move your middle finger while ur not moving ur hand... what im trying to get at is that it's not so much the hand movement or the finger movement that matters, it's how you time them relative to each other... it makes it a difficult trick to practice because it doesnt do much good to work on just the hand movement or just the finger movement =[

    I just cant get it to go around my finger again after the .5 spin D:

    Date: Sun, Mar 2 2014 20:20:37

    when the .5 spin is done, try raising your middle finger a bit and slightly raising your hand.
