Good topic! Just wanted to say that when you mentioned the crazy clips on insta or other stuff those are typically pre-planned combos, not trying to think and freestyle with flow on the spot (which is much much harder) but great video!

It always baffles me how people learn tricks in such a different order. Like a lot of tricks that you've mentioned you're struggling with are pretty automatic for me, more or less but for example your Z-choker is SO MUCH better than mine and I can barely do the basic version without the horizontal catch

I feel like this is a really good topic. I see myself flipping passively through most of my videos, but with my clips, it is much more active as I am really trying to build the best combo in the moment. Goodnvideo

I just came back to flipping after breaking my only bali 3 years ago, and im right here with you on the fanning lol. Though im trying to focus on my chaplins more

this was a really awesome topic to talk about man! I love the vibe of this video :)

This was a great video to listen to and think alongside as to how to approach flipping and learning how to flip. I've been slamming out a couple tricks recently and I can say the first time I saw a rev 8ball, I'd never be able to do it. Couple days of practice proved me wrong and man reverse tricks are wild. Tip for the choker fan is to just get the initial twirl and let the bali fall after, saw it from Artsea Flips tutorial and it made learning the rest easier as the fan is very dependent on momentum.

Very interesting topic!

you should learn how to helix. one of the sickest looking tricks imo. took me quite some time to perfect but so worth it. i notice you do a lot of 8 ball stuff and it fits perfectly after that and also doubles as a handle transfer. not to mention everyone wants to learn that trick so it would make a banger tutorial. edit: great video btw. i think about this all the time and i never thought i would see someone actually post about it.

CantFlipforShip had a pretty good backhand fan tutorial the really helped me learn it

If passive flipping means flipping without a thought, I could say that means I'm living passively 🤓

I’ve been flipping for over 400 days straight 🗿🔥 I’m an active flipper

I do alot of autopilot flipping and do a couple of focused proper flipping moment like behind the 8 ball is something im in between autopilot and focused. I started recently as a flipping and learn all the basic tricks aside from passes and aeriels which im working on I think a balance is best for both improving but also having fun at the same time

I have been trying to flip for about 2 months, but what is the better choice to learn/practice with? A plastic (WH Squiddy) or Vulp Pro ???

ive the opposite problem. i can do chocker fans easily but ive struggle doing Z chockers ^^

Хорошие рассуждения 😎

I didn't know this ty

At 2:37 ... What is that move called when he has it in an underhand hold and flips it out and catches it open again?

You obviously don’t have a lot of fans because your not doing enough fans 😂.

Flipping is very subjective. One trick might be tremendously difficult for someone, while someone else already learnt it, repeated it hundreds of times and basically mastered it so now it's easy for them. Some need more time to learn a thing, some need less of it. I feel like that passive flipping is absolutely garbage method for learning new things. It just must be. To learn something new I belive You'd have to think what You're doing, cause if not, You may just not learn it at all or learn it wrong and don't even notice it. And after that You may feel confident to do it on a live blade and get a horrible wound. Learning a trick You already know, to do while flipping passively is completly different thing obvieusly. I would love to give You some advices for that choker fan, but I'm a terrible teacher and explaining things badly is my speciality. 😿 Though I could tell You that how I learnt several tricks is I kept repeating it, failing and trying again over and over for some time, then leaving trying for a few days and after that time getting back to trying. Doing that out of nowhere I realised I could do 0g Chaplin for example. I was trying to do it, one rotation at first, then I gave up on it to try few days later and notice that I started landing the spins. Not long after that I could chaplin for a long time. 🙀 Right now I'm learning infinity choker fan and double scissors. The second one is absolute hell, my knife keeps rotating mid air. 😾 But I will get there eventually. We all will, cause after we fail - we try again. 🤓😸 Cheers, good luck with learning and have a ton of fun doing so. c:
