Hai. First of all, I'd like to say that your vids are amazing and I've learned a lot with them :3 And I'd also like to ask for an adicional help.. I'm having such a dificulty with the second spin, the one around my index finger, the knife always falls and it doesn't have enough strenght to spin. I've tried the cherrypicker and I noticed that I really have this problem with my index finger because I can't do the cherrypicker's spin as well. Help? Thanks >.<

@ZombiieKittyCat it could be a number of things. I would say to check your angles for the second spin and experiment which angle works best for you..meaning are you spinning it horizontal, or are you lifting your arm and putting a diagonal angle to it which will reduce spin...are you trying to go into the third spin too early and it becomes a timing issue? are you initiating the second spin from the right position, with your finger all the way up by the pivots?

Is this expert trick or something? Because i re-invented this trick by my self without knowing that its already there?

[Bitehandle]

@noqez1 the helix was created by gawker and 8thsinner i think and has been around for years and is a staple move in balisong manipulation.

two things... 1 awesome vids man. 2 i cant seem to get it after the 1st spin, can you help?

[Bitehandle]

@Mastuebationnation i've always thought the second spin was the hardest part as well, it just takes a lot practice. experiment with different angles and force, once you know the mechanics of a move, you need to experiment to see what works best for you.

Okay, so I have a Bradley Kimura Balisong and I really want to do this move, but I have one problem. The way the Bradley's edge ends virtually at the beginning (or end, whatever) of the bite handle makes it very hard to do this move without slashing my index finger open on the ricochet at the end. Suggestions?

Thanks this video helped a lot. the only thing is i do the first spin horizontally and the second spin vertically.

[ZombiieKittyCat]

@Bitehandle I think it's the angle, its too high and the blade hits my wrist before it clears :S I'm working on it, thank you very much for the tips.

what is the song you use in the beginning of the video

[andrei91andrej]

Hi, I just started twirling 3 days ago. Your video are great but im guessing that they are more advanced. Can you do a tutorial on a beginning trick? One for starters and with an airiel? Also if I dicide to buy a balisong, which ones should I go for/ what type? Thanks.

i need slower slow motion.

[ErickoMF]

You probably explained this the best out of everyone else. and the tip about the thumb touching your pointer finger really helped out.
