[@cosmavergari5727]

Hi everyone! I'm learning this trick now and I'm finding it not so easy to learn. Here are some tips that I got along the way: 1) After you learn the basic move (before 2:05), change it a little by completely releasing your index finger right before the handle hits your thumb. This should cause the knife to spin around your thumb and then fall. Don't try to catch the other handle yet! 2) After point 1 go ahead and try to catch the other handle. If you find that the knife just falls too quickly, try to repeat step 2 but while releasing the index, make sure that your thumb is near the top of the handle because it works as the pivot around which the knife rotates. Hope this helps

Yo big flips, you should make a new line of videos (like how you have beginner, intermediate, and advanced) but make it called combos where you show like a line of moves comboing together. Would really enjoy that

[@drewkulenguski3148]

SAM MASON Exactly

[@BigFlips]

i will make some more videos on combos eventually! if you look at some of my earlier tricks like behind the 8 ball, helix, y3k, you will find that they actually are combos! the key is using those transferring moves in between other tricks. best of luck!

I consider knife/bladed weapon tricks and usage to be an art form lol. I just got my first ever personal (as in my own, not like a friends) Butterfly Knife today, it’s only a trainer one, but I’m absolutely loving it. I’ve been interested in ‘em my whole life and now I can actually practice with one.

[@hitmanhatton]

I'm really loving your tutorials. I'm not quite intermediate level yet. But I'm getting close and I'm starting to be able to string moves together thanks to you. You make learning how to flip easy and less scary. Due to stupid laws in my country it's not that easy and takes time to get a Bali but luckily I've got 2. An old jaguar which is incredibly heavy. And a kick-ass Titanium from exiled cutlery which is incredibly light. I honestly prefer using the jaguar even though my knuckles take a beating. Lol Anyway great job on your videos. Keep it up!

[@austinwest7825]

No way this is beginner level

[@TheAngryLemon08]

Really cool move. I like how the spin around the thumb, like an index roll on the thumb can lead to hold it closed with handle upward and follow to a y2k rollover. Had to succeed the spin alone first to master the full move.

[@balisongnoob1852]

It doesn’t hit my rust but it hits the side of my thumb he makes it look easy to move your hand to get it on the tip of your thumb I tried it hit the side of my thumb

[@logancoleperez]

One way I catch it with the blade facing away is RIGHT before I catch it, I spin the safe handle in between my fingers. For a little pizazz, you can use your index finger to latch it together, definitely one of my favorite moves.

[@steakfriesyt2474]

You’re like the best tutorial channel for Bali songs, so thanks so much.

[@hatred9427]

I'm getting back into knife flipping, this one is the trick that I'm having the most trouble with! Definitely one that I've cut myself the most. My problem isn't exactly with technique, it's more about getting the timing right and remaining consistent, as the 2/10 times where I succeed it always feels out of luck.

[@wnuczek1892]

I love how in all these flashy tricks you catch too late or too early and you hold the blade :)

[@ian-hm6cx]

This is the first trick I got cut on. I couldn’t do it on my trainer but got ballsy on my real knife and could do it. Did it about 15 times and then grabbed the sharp side of the blade instead of the handle. Oof

I can do zen rollover already and it is in intermediate move in your playlist, but this move is beginner move and it's harder, I got a one normal and deep cut in my pinky right now, but I will learn this move no matter what!

[@h3r3tic66]

It’s literally just a vertical y2k and is so satisfying when cleanly done

[@nottyler9824]

It’s a y2k that but moving clockwise instead of counterclockwise which is why the ending is upside down

“There’s ways of playing with momentum” Alexander Newton: *heavy breathing*

[@SuperSaiyanAbz]

Hey Mr Big Flips. Love your videos. For this particular move I can't seem to make it a smooth transition from grabbing the safe handle to flicking the bite handle back up to catch it, so it ends up looking less fluid.

[@Felven]

I got the spin down, but i keep grabbing the blade, and not the safe handle

[@aidansjoberg6725]

Felven learn to y2k first.

[@Felven]

i know y2k and zen rollover.

[@dropkickcorpse]

I ran into that same problem too at first. I found that the trick is to: 1) try not to rush it at first and let the safe handle lazily roll over your thumb and 2) stretch your pinky finger a little further inward to get in between the safe handle and blade. And with that, you're gold.

[@nood1le]

so you dont have the spin down

[@shimomuratatsuya8642]

Update?

[@GZMO999]

Easiest way I kinda taught myself to learn them faster was getting more comfortable with each step meaning doing each step over and over again until you feel comfortable to move onto the next step and once you’ve done all that put ‘em together and it’s gonna feel more natural trying to do the whole trick all together, learned this one in ab 15 minutes maybe closer to 20?

y2k is vertical and a thumb rollover is horizontal. So what's it called when you do a half orbit horizontally instead of vertically?

[@mysticalreaper7713]

I think I flipped the knife in the air and caught it upside down trying this like perfectly that looked cool

[@SemberAlistair]

Can't seem to get it right, keep catching the blade or catching the blade + the safe handle. Maybe spinning it too slowly? But then if I go quicker I grab too late and catch the blade anyways 🤷‍♂️

I'm having difficulty learning this and behind the 8 ball and I'm getting very frustrated. I can't seem to get the balisong to spin quite right around my thumb, yet for some reason, the zen rollover and Y2K are very easy for me to do now. I wish I knew someone personally who was into balisong flipping like you to help teach me these tricks in person.

[@sliverrrxr]

it's soo much harder than thumb roll

[@turtle09vr]

Omg I did it thx you so How much for the video it helped a lot I I did a Half orbit and it’s so cool

[@rancond1812]

Hey man, maybe you can answer my question, there's a trick in which you start like if you were doing a Y2K, so, you throw the handdle below your thumb (like y2k), and then when you catch the handdle you throw if horizontaly so it goes up while spinning, after that you have to hit the knife with the top of your wrist so it does a little "jump" and then you just catch the knife. I don't know if my explanation was decent or not, but maybe you know what i am talking about.

[@BigFlips]

that trick is called the fist bump. they are pretty tricky. you should learn helix aerials first which i havent done a tutorial on yet. if you stick around ill get to it eventually but i have a lot of easier tricks to teach first! good luck!

[@rancond1812]

Big Flips Oh thank youuu, i kinda know how to do it but half of the times the knife ends on the floor. And of course i will stick around, you are awesome :D

@@unethical1894 is it just flying over your thumb, super fast and uncontrollable? what i learned is to release it a bit later than other roll overs, like actually let the knife wrap around your thumb then release, and i was able to get it, still wouldnt call it smooth by any means but i can do it now. oh also try and keep your hand still once it starts swinging around your thumb. that was really all i was doing wrong was treating it the same as the others.

@@unethical1894 yeah I know exactly what you mean I was doing that for a while too but just know your getting close if your atleast catching it.
