Advanced Tricks / Sidespin

The Sidespin is a trick where the initial push is the same as a Thumbaround, but the pen does not go around the thumb. Instead, it spins on the side of the thumb before falling back to the original slot. This trick is commonly used as a top spin trick where the pen spins for 1.0 or more revolutions below the base of the largest knuckle of the thumb. Video tutorial by Freeman

The most common way of doing the sidespin is shown here: Tutorial by Minwoo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOl2cractBc

Bump. For some strange reason I can never get how spinners like TEK or Vic start their Sidespin with the pen resting parallel on the index, and how it gets onto the thumb area. I can do it the Minwoo way. Help please? :)

Just try to do a fingerless thumbaround, but instead of catching it, turn your hand sideways, and use the same techniques used for the Palmspin. I'm not really good at it, the most I can get is around a 8.0 -_- But anyways, just try to learn the palmspin first, well at least learn the techniques used for it, and make sure you are doing it right. Also, learn the FL TA before, too. At around 1/4 of the rotation, turn your hand so that the pen will just slide down, performing a .25 spin. Adding force while still hitting the pen lightly will cause more rotations, and make sure that the pen spins near the part near the thumb. Hope this helps!

Do it in Minwoo's way, that's probably the easiest way to get a 4-5.0 Sidespin However, if you want more spins, you have to "start their Sidespin with the pen resting parallel on the index" because it gives you more power to continue your sidespin :) that's my experience, but I can only do a 10.0 sidespin =.=" Don't know how to improve it =.="

@Elune Yes, I can do it that way, and my best is probably only 7.0-ish. I just want to experiment with TEK's way and see if I like it better that way. :)

@Krypton So... do you mean the hint that Minwoo gave at the end of the tutorial? Cause I don't really understand what you are asking.

@Jacob8185: Yes, that type of push. If you watch TEK's sidespins he starts it that way.

right. So you don't understand how you can use that push to start the sidespin? Is that what you are asking?<_<

I do a push like an flta, but instead of going around the thumb, I move my hole hand like a palmspin. is this right? feels different and weird.
