[andrija666slipknot]

he doesnt want to hurt his balisong. I used mine as a throwing knife :( , and now i complain couse it wont flip good.

[runnerboy666]

Hey I'm having a bit of trouble for this move. Would you be willing for me to send you in a video of me doing it and looking at it and telling me what I did wrong? Thanks

[BalisongAddict]

@runnerboy666 Sure.

[nighthawk078]

@superlardo77 nah i believe it

[grendo11productions]

I really don't like wrist passes. Feels unnatural. What do?

[FredwardHighbrow]

Right as you dropped your knife, I did the same. Not so lucky for me, though, seeing as I cut my calf.

[superlardo77]

you could do this after two days of picking up a knife? im calling bullshit.

[BalisongAddict]

@superlardo77 Haha alrighty man.

[RIDExTHExWORLD]

@superlardo77 i learned behind the eightball the second day after i got my knife.... then since it was a cheap knife it broke,

[GreenTreeModding]

@superlardo77 Hey fat lard this kid would own you dude, so back off

[MultiNathanrocks]

@superlardo77 not ture my frien can do this and he has only had a knife for a week

[severedtesticles]

Dude...your skills are amazing. I've already learned a few new manouvres from you, having only known how to do the basic flip for the last 15 years or so, lol. But I've cut myself more times in the last 3 days learning from your videos than I have in the 15 years previously 'cos some of the moves I've learned involve holding the bite handle, which I've never done before, so I've ordered a Bear and Son trainer balisong. Do you have any experience with Bear and Son balisongs? They look ok.

[BalisongAddict]

@severedtesticles I actually do have a quite a bit of experience with them. I have broken two of them, so be gentle haha.

[severedtesticles]

@BalisongAddict What broke on them? The pins?

[BalisongAddict]

@severedtesticles No, the handles actually broke very close to the pivots.

[severedtesticles]

@BalisongAddict That's weird...their handles are made of steel, aren't they?...I've had some really cheap Taiwanese balisongs for years and the only thing that ever broke was a pin on one of them.

I'm sure with my limited skills I don't put my balisongs through their paces the way you do, lol.

Oh well, if they break, they break...they didn't cost a lot. Next on my shopping list is a Bradley...they look really nice and don't cost hundreds like Benchmades do.

[ripstickdude100]

Hey what balisong is that I just bought a brand new 42 for 400 bucks and I have to tighten the pins every week

[BalisongAddict]

@ripstickdude100 It's a Cold Steel Arc Angel.

[PyroFiddler]

I'm having a little trouble getting the transition from the pointer to the thumb, getting it to spin without my fingers getting in the way, any advice other than move my fingers? lol

[BalisongAddict]

@PyroFiddler It can definitely be a hard trick to get. The best advice I can give you is to imagine touching your thumb to your index. And practice. Lots and lots of practice.

[PyroFiddler]

@BalisongAddict Brilliant, I guess I just need to practice more. Also, do you know of any way of (in the Helix move) possibly going from the horizontal finger roll to a vertical thumb roll?

[thehotmailfreak]

awesome

[chamoco1]

that is a sweet move i probably expect to be too smooth it takes alot of practice im onle a month at it thanks your tutorials are great.

[DeliciousBrownieVids]

How much was ur knife? I bought a crap 20$ one and the pins are getting loose

[nighthawk078]

its a shame u dont have that many views.ur videos are nasty

[BalisongAddict]

@nighthawk078 Thanks man. Hopefully my popularity will grow.
