Your Balisong Tricks will be Sloppy Until You DO THIS!
Рет қаралды 29,454
Жыл бұрынHey everyone! I wanted to do a video on how I got my Behind the 8-Ball down since @VFlips329 asked for a tutorial! Since there are lots of bt8b tutorials out there already, I figured I could share something fundamental to nailing a trick that goes beyond the specific movements.
I hope you find this video helpful, I am still working on improving my ability to record and edit videos. This one got cut down a lot to remove any redundant or distracting bits for the video to be the most helpful for you all!
Like what I'm doing and want to support my channel? Check out my Buy Me a Coffee page here: www.buymeacoffee.com/Benshami...
The trainer I am flipping is the Will Hirsch x Nabalis Vulp.

Nice tutorial, I agree with a lot of your tips but I did notice that you were doing your bt8b a bit wrong. Its supposed to spin around your thumb twice.
@benshaminflips Жыл бұрын
🤯 Wow haha, thank you for pointing that out!! I have taken a few extended breaks from flipping and I think I dropped that first spin around the thumb at some point after not doing the trick for awhile. It's a good thing I didn't make a tutorial for the trick specifically, but made it more general 😅 and I guess I ended up showing 2 variations haha. I'm glad you liked a lot of the tips I shared and again, thank you for pointing that out!

Another tip for you beginners that I wish I knew is repeatedly doing one trick to learn it , I couldn’t get rev thumb roll or short stop until I took a day and learnt it and I’m doing the same rn to learn more advanced tricks like the scissor.
@benshaminflips Жыл бұрын
That's a great tip! It can be really helpful to drill a trick in a short period of time as opposed to occasionally practicing over days or weeks.

Found your vid, inspiring points you made and I 100% agree. I'm still pretty new to flipping, started with a 3D printed one and later bought a used Vulp. Still trying to get basics down and trying to be smooth with the 3 tricks I currently know. Your tip about keeping your arm stable is incredibly insightful, I will DEFINITELY keep that in mind when I practice! Thanks man ✌️

I have a suggestion to everyone. if you are trying to learn a trick from a tutorial and maybe lets say the first half makes sense but the second half doesnt make sense. and you cant get the second part of a trick right. change your approach, look at a different tutorial. it helped my learn the shortstop

@benshaminflips 11 ай бұрын
That is cool, I had the opposite experience where I learned the bt8b and after a long time I just tried the 0g chaplin and was able to do it after a few tries because I was so used to the 0g chaplin movement at the beginning of the bt8b. It can be helpful when you are struggling with 1 type of trick to learn another similar one sometimes!
@G0ATHR0B Жыл бұрын
I see the pedals and amp...... You could pretty much rewrite this video as a how to learn songs too! Btw b8b was my first "advanced" trick too. But I was always too afraid to toss it around and finish it catching on the bite handle so I'd just stop it in an ice pick grip.....😂
@benshaminflips Жыл бұрын
I'm actually working on a video taking what I have learned from music and applying it to balisongs. There is a lot of crossover for sure! That is how I came up with the variation at the end. I was too worried about dropping it over hard floors so I would stop it in the pen grip. I later realized that I could throw it from there to finish the trick

@@maidenlonely1951 I think the Vulp is amazing especially for the price! If you don't yet have an aluminum channel balisong trainer and that is something you are interested in, especially if you just have really cheap trainers, you should totally get one if you have the money! There is nothing about how it flips that I wish was different, other than it not being super sticky with chaplins, but it's not that bad.

If this is how you do BT8B, it's three steps and you're completely missing the second step. It's basically 3 rollovers, and you're only doing 2 while skipping the second one by only doing the first and third ones.

There are some actually pretty good ones on Amazon now, if you really aren't sure if you will like it or you want to spend the lowest amount of money possible, Nabalis has a pretty decent steel and g10 trainer for around $24. Of course if you were able to spend a bit more, the Nabalis Vulp (the one I use in the video) is a great option at $65. I literally started out on a Lego Technic butterfly knife I made, whatever gets you flipping, be creative!

This was a more general video about how to improve any trick that you are working on, though I did intend to use the Behind the 8-Ball as an example, but I in fact was doing it wrong, oops, that was my bad! Since the advice is more general, I am going to leave the video up, but I did pin the comment pointing out that I was doing the bt8b incorrectly that way no one would be misled! I enjoy trick variations, that was one of the tips I gave, so I guess I showed 2 variations of the bt8b, or if you want to think of it as different tricks entirely that works too 😁 I'll make sure if I do a tutorial on a specific trick that I make sure I am doing it correctly!
