[@neveralduin889]

I found that this move, along with helix, were easy if you learned one of them. Once you get the feel of the balisong flipping, it gets easier. Also, the final part with the zen rollover I had trouble swinging the blade away to prevent it from crashing into my finger. A solution to this is not to jerk the blade away, but to flow with gravity and let it swoop away. This makes it much easier and more fluid.

The transition from the first rollover to the second rollover is always hard for me. And the transition from the second rollover to the third rollover. Yeah this whole trick is hard.

[@OliverJames69]

Same

[@evasmojang]

@@LetsGoGolfing721 every time I try to spin it around my pointer finger I have trouble taking out my other fingers... it's just an instinct to use my other fingers to help spin it, so I can't use only my pointer finger (at the first part of the move). When I actually do manage to use just my pointer finger and try to spin it around it just falls to the ground

[@mudaebots]

@@evasmojang it’s all about how you use the momentum of the swing. if you don’t already know the chaplin, you should try learning that and apply what you learned from that to other tricks. or even y2k, the most basic rollovers can show you how to use momentum

[@Bleep0Bloop]

This has been a hard one for me to master but I think with practice I'll get it now. This was the better of the tutorials I have seen. Even though you think you beat it in the ground with all those reiterations, they actually help.

[@dracon9800]

Ok so, ive been practicing this trick on and off for the past 4ish hours and i just got the wierd finger grip after the thumb rollover. So its pretty much a half open pen position, on your way up to the zen rollover swing the knife up and back a bit and it sets you up perfectly

[@GoonDick]

The only reason I'm actually getting better is because of your rad videos. Keep em coming buddy!

[@DwokaWoodworks]

Dude, this video is great! I’ve been looking all over for a tutorial that makes sense, and this is the only one I’ve found that isn’t super complicated. Thx man!

[@Humandust666]

I've been flipping for only 5 days now and I was able to do behind the 8 ball a couple times with my shitty amazon trainer. Your videos have helped me learn various tricks super quick, as your explanation is so clear and easy for me to understand. I got a squid triton v2 coming in the mail soon and I can't wait to keep learning. Cheers!

[@JOKATOOBJokaSquadTV]

Absolutely the BEST tutorials! The camera angles, the way he starts from beginning everytime is brilliant. Clear and concise. I could not for the life of me figure this trick out. Watched this and I can now finally do it! Also figured out from that 3rd position to continually keep rolling over and over always ending in that open grasp with the bite handle and blade down. Its like it just kinda clicked. Once i figured out to roll the wrist and keep the blade horizontal it started rolling way better. I still struggle with rolling the first half spin into the 1st thumb roll. Its stutters at that 1st half turn.

[@austinbraun6653]

Tbh I’ve tried watching other channels for tutorials but your channel is the standard imo. The way you explain and break down the moves in a clear way makes all the difference.

[@ojsvids2758]

Iv watched so many vids on this n never got it n after half hour of this on repeat on slowmo I actually finally learned it thank u 🥳

[@Iron_Thunderstorm]

You're really good at teaching these moves. All the recaps are very helpful and make it so I don't have to keep rewinding.

[@chrissizemore1772]

Firs

[@benwilson5724]

once you get it smooth its so satisfying.

[@hanzflackshnack1158]

If you're a noob like me (two weeks) the progression is figure 8-> wrist pass-> Y2K-> zen rollover-> and zero G chaplin helps. Naturally you should follow all of the Big Flips tutorials but learning these helped the most. If you practice once a night, it'll take a few days to get the 8 ball consistent.

[@Ciel1820]

the last parts are the easiest, i always get stuck and can't do the first parts

[@PoofyThePandaPro]

really? the first parts were easiest for me, and then the transfer into the zen was hardest

[@advikdeshmukh805]

First part was hardest

[@radi4610]

Misgiving same here

[@corruptedinc2621]

cashout I honestly think it depends, for me the first part is harder because the transition into the zen rollover is easy from doing the helix trick

[@mihqc_brat]

I get stuck at the first thumb roll, the rest is pretty easy

[@nochoiceforu2848]

Hey, if you learn Helix before this, you will have a much easier time learning the trick. My strategy is: 1. Watch the slow-mo some times to get the idea in my mind 2. I start doing the trick but with pauses between the transitions between the rollovers to get the feeling of it 3. After doing the pauses, I just start trying to make the whole trick, try after try and some time it just happens, but don’t stop, continue doing it so you become comfortable.😁 I hope my advice helps you!🙂

[@MachiriReviews]

You’re a hero to a wannabe flipper like me man.

[@whileistaysecluded]

Thanks a lot man I spent about 15 minutes doing it super slow and with pauses.. and then I just decided to grow a pair and tried to do it fast and that's when it really starts to flow and lock in.. such a fun move thanks bro!

[@BigFlips]

solid. yeah its so fun and cool once you get it!

[@JosephWheeler14]

Finally got it much easier with this explanation, haven't seen another tutorial that mentioned turning your hands certain directions which really helped

[@Wooskii1]

Well that happened, I finally did it, albeit slow & sloppy. I'm gonna back and watch all your vids to learn how to flip the right way, and learn the names of the tricks too. Great video!

[@hen618]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. 6 years old and still amazing. I learned it very easily with a few replays of a few certain parts. There were a few times I had no clue what I was supposed to do, and I replayed it and now I know how to do it. NICE TUTORIAL

Thanks man! I couldn't turn the knife smoothly enough when we enter the first zen from a halved 0g chaplin so the knife kept getting stuck at that point but thanks to your video I can do it almost flawlessly now.

this channel has helped so much in learning balisong flipping. im currently using a trio of glowstifks i whipped together into a makeshift balisong bc my parent dont want me to get one bc when i said knife they thought violence. this was awesome and my friends will probably have no idea what the heck im doing. thank you

[@G_D_K]

Maybe get yourself a squiddy? They're pretty inexpensive, and less knife-y than most trainers. The "blade" is fully rounded at the end, so it's dull on the sides and doesn't even have a point on the end.

[@glintcoretheprotogen]

@@G_D_K well, i gota balisong from kmart or amazon for christmas, not that good but it works

[@tryhardr2658]

Tip: Keep your fingers close to the pivot of the balisong while spinning. The spin would be much more stable and controllable (This also applies to nearly all rollovers)

[@paulakaFATBOY]

@@69isfunny32 my advice is to just stick to it and GO SLOW at first. Also if youre not already do this,7 tape the edge with regular scotch tape so you dont slice your fingers or hands. Itll be tough to find the rate of speed and friction to lock your finger in that joint/hinge but once you get that feeling just go slow and take breaks in between every couple of tries. I got frustrated and actually didnt even attempt it for a few months before i decided to try it one day and i got it after my 4-5 attempt. Its frustratingly hard at first but once you get the hang of it its embarrassingly easy to do lol

Big Flips hey bro how do you transfer your roll from index finger to your thumb?? Please help me I suck at this

[@therealdoc]

He clearly explains it at 2:36, however learning the Chaplin would help greatly for understanding what kind of motion would help to get that roll over consistent. This transition is rather difficult I've found and is the hardest part of the entire trick. Though, this can change with the person and what knife they're using. I'm currently waiting for my second balisong but my current one is extremely heavy (8 oz), so the transition is extremely difficult for me to land.

[@workshop777]

Not sure if you even know this or not. The original 8ball was invented by a guy with the handle of 8th Sinner in online bali forums, probably about 15 years ago. Was a good friend of mine and one of the best flippers. A true pioneer in bali fipping. -H (IoS)
