    Where can I learn new tricks? I already learned enough from Ktrinh93 and VValrus and I'm looking for other resources to learn. Thanks. Ben

    Lolol, ktrinh. Instead of looking at tricks start looking at beginner combos and learning them.

    I highly doubt you can do every trick that KTrinh taught if you joined up this month:jawdrop:. But if you really did then post on this thread.

    did you want ways or places? My method is to watch spinners see cool tricks then try to get them down once. Next day to perform them 3 times in a row. Day after 5 times. Then finally 10 times. Now the trick is ready to be linked and put into combos.

    As I have stated in a previous post, I have been spinning for around an year and I finally decided to join the forum. Also, I never said that I learned all of the moves he taught, just that I learned enough from him. I find him a little too talkative for my liking. Thanks for all the input. And Mr. Awesome, I'm looking for some places where tutorials can be found for different tricks. Thanks again. Oh yeah, I'm a lefty so places with left-handed tutorials would be nice.

    Do you have a yt channel? That might give us an idea in what you may need help in ;)

    Sadly not. If I were to have one, would I just record all the tricks I knew, post it, and let you guys critique me?

    eso is left handed, and i rather like his tutorials... ironically, the majority of his tutorials were mirrored for right handed and not many of his original videos are left. dont worry though, just keep looking. there are tutorials for just about every trick on youtube.

    no one really cares about tricks. You would film a combo showing us how you use your tricks then we would critique that. It may seem like a small distinction but its actually quite signfigant.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll try to find time to film a combo. Sadly, the only combo I know is (Palm-down) Sonic > Index thumbaround > thumbaround rev > (palm-up) sonic > neosonic

    Learn a few more that length then put it together. By the time that has happened you should be able to secure a camera. (A decent phone camera can be good enough these days).

    Thanks. School gets in the way of spinning.... Teachers don't like it, homework occupies all of your time, etc.

    I spin during study hall when I want a break/homeworks done, or during lunch when I've eaten everything (at school at least). Try spinning then, or spin in a class where nobody really acknowledges it

    Index thumbaround?

    Yeah, instead of your middle finger providing the push, your index finger is. Did I get the name wrong?

    Do the tack-on games. I learned the sonic cause I don't want to kicked out :). Although I'm doubting that I can go on beyond second stage. It's just my second week spinning.

    You might as well just call it a ThumbAround, and if you really want to you can make it complete with something like ThumbAround T12-T1 [IndexPush]. IndexThumbAround implies that the pen travels around both the index [first] and thumb [second].
