First off, I love the tutorials! I want to add some feedback though: I like how each step is explained individually, but I think it would be even more helpful to show the trick done very slowly, step by step, then a bit faster, then a bit faster until it is shown full speed. Along these same lines, I think a demonstration of the trick at full speed followed by a slow mo (much like how big flips does it in his videos) would very helpful as well! Overall, I love the vids and can't wait to see more!

[@SquidIndustriesco]

We appreciate the feedback Kelton! We'll definitely try implementing some of those ideas.

[@dinosharttt]

Slow motion of the regular speed (like big flips) very slowly then a bit faster until it is full speed

[@ReallyFunnyShorts]

Just make the playback speed slower

[@lukestuff2546]

I like how he has a different knife every video 👍

[@jacklindsay610]

So mesmerized by the flipping clips, I can't believe how seamless it can be, very impressive! Can't wait to get one to try some of these out

[@binbrowsgaming2896]

I just learned how to do the chaplin and I've been hooked on the balisong. This is gonna be the next thing ima learn for sure.

[@onepoint812]

“the only pre requisites are thumb roller, basic opening & wrist pass. now do a 0g thumb chaplin” bro!

[@hyenasami8481]

That trick looks really cool !

I've been waiting for this one, awesome!!!

[@Lagiacruz]

I have only had a balisong for 2 days and already learned how to do these tricks thanks to the amazing tutorials you guys make!

[@kartr9545]

I just ordered one it arrives tomorrow! They make it look so fun.

[@Ray-zd7me]

you learned to do behind the 8 ball and helix in 2 days???? I absolutely doubt it

[@user-ve8ei6ib9y]

@@Ray-zd7mesome people have a lot of expirience in object manipulation. Its possible to learn in 2 days. I learned the 8 ball is like almost 3 days

[@lagia_cruz]

@@Ray-zd7meI’m sorry to tell you but yeah, I just had a lot of free time over the weekend so I was able to do those tricks pretty quickly.

[@mingun25]

@@Ray-zd7me yea i just got mine a few days ago and have already got the hang of the behind the 8 ball my aim is to eventually do the octane tutorial they have on their channel

[@sergiomartinez6040]

thank you so much I learned both perfectly

[@knowledge_4203]

feedback: these tutorials should be in your pov

[@wildberry5416]

That‘s so helpful. Thank u very much❤️🤝🏼

[@DonoGaming]

they way you described the behind the 8ball parts as a thumb chaplin then a thumb rollover really made it click

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Glad we could help!

[@hunn]

love videos like these

[@1_lunaa]

Like the tutorials and also I’ve been doing tricks with a Lego balisong

[@Karter_-.swag100]

I swear jelly is the 🐐

[@14.99plustax]

this.. this is beautiful.

[@sergiomartinez6040]

that intro though was funny jelly was hyped

[@caionery7698]

One thing that always amazes me about Jelly flipping is the form... he barely moves his arm... it's mostly all on the hands. Can you do a tutorial approaching that? Cheers!

[@Lftarded]

do ricochets like twirls or ladder tricks to improve finger strength

[@DeexVR]

I learned both them in about two hours thanks!

[@District522]

That closing you do at the very end is sick! Would love a dedicated closings video

[@chrisbrogan1434]

He has a video for that close its called the figure 8 open and close and its my new fav way to open and close my balisong

[@garythacker6731]

I am really struggling with the transition between the first two rollovers. The catch, the final rollover and the wrist pass come very naturally to me. The thumb Chaplin part as well. Do you have any tips with keeping the momentum going while performing behind the eightball?

[@lolichan2010]

Thank

[@erickruckenberg8716]

What I find funny about the title is these were the first two tricks that I actually taught myself. And here I am thinking that I need to learn more tricks to lol

[@yellowissac8516]

Man he’s so good with the chaplins…

[@mattbob666420]

What is the close you are doing at the end of most of your combos? It looks like a figure 8?

[@steveglitterbutt]

can you add a move set list for the combo ideas?

[@kennonricheson2298]

The thing I struggle with is the index roll. Mine can sometimes be a chaplin, but I found it easier if I have finger closer on the index roll.

[@kendallpryor9478]

every tutorial I watch just makes me want a squid product more and more lol jelly makes every balisong he flips look amazing. I have trouble with having enough momentum to transition from the 0g chaplin to the thumb rollover. I can't wait to see what tutorials you're going to have next. Pristine Work!

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Thank you so much! We have many more tutorials in the works. 😎 -Jelly

I pretty much perfected everything in bt8b but I can’t do the finger Chaplin. Can I get help?

nice vid

[@sonnychen434]

Ok why does his opening and closing look better than anything I've ever done T-T

[@CAXRBON]

thanks for the help. but i have one problem. i cant do this thumb chaplin, i catch it wrong all the time. idk how to progress.

[@JoeMama-uu9xj]

These were like m first tricks like I can do these but not smth like a Chaplin or aerial even

[@mikeyyy2210]

I already know all these moves I just like watching jelly and SI content lol

[@Kiginsworth1010]

i cant get the thumb chaplin to work, any tips on how to do that?

Let's Go!!!

[@whos.brooke.]

I just bought a squiddy and this came exactly as I was searching for bt8b tutorials haha Edit: Please make a chaplin tutorial, I haven’t been able to get it down

[@SquidIndustriesco]

We have a Chaplin tutorial up!

[@totallynotpaul6211]

Everywhere else the helix is y2k > index roll > zenrollover, but in this video it's index roll > zenrollover?

[@jeromeariola8199]

Best tutorial channel out there, just got my trainer bali 5 days ago, and I found that I executed the Helix before Behind the 8 Ball. Is Helix supposed to be easier?

[@dinosharttt]

For me helix is easier I can’t get the thumb Chaplin part right on the behind the 8 ball

[@ameirjoyner8787]

If you guys would give some type of challenge to give away some training balisongs that would be amazing...thanks imma new flipper and subscriber.

[@DexterMorgan12]

Anyone know what the closing move at 3:56 is? I’ve tried to slow the video down but I can’t seem to get it.

[@polkovnikyordanov2615]

Please make chonker fan and z choker

[@electrikite61]

I’m a month in, and can do these two tricks… but 4:34, not quite a basic opener into the Helix. I don’t want to know how or what variant of basic opener that was… but how long you been doing this?

[@electrikite61]

It’s like some kind of fanning maybe. Idk. I’ll circle back months or years from now and answer myself maybe

[@BobTing-ym7fh]

It is super confusing as I had just started, could you recommend any simple tricks to learn first?😅

[@inksazyy]

for me doing chaplin is a lot harder than rollovers and i dont know why when i do the chaplin it just throws itself after 4-5 spins

[@Forilnd]

Kan u show how u do the thumb Chaplin???

[@AnKILLZ]

I just cant manage to get my thumb around the handly to do the rollover while doing the helix and its so annoying😩

[@probrentleegaming1518]

still cant find out how to do the helix :( i always give up when doing this because its so overwhelming and hard :(

I live in the UK and getting a trainer is impossible, I don't have the money to get a good trainer, so I'm stuck with £15 amazon knives that break after one roll-over ;(

[@kongamespl5638]

I cant do Behind the 8 ball because i dont understand how to do a thumb chapelin and i cant find a tutorial for how to do one anywhere. Im fine with the chapelin on my index finger but it just flies off everytime i try it on my thumb

[@leosun7800]

same, its just so hard and plus theres no videos about it

[@Clawert]

It is not a thumb Chaplin You can call it a y2k or a thumb roll

[@seacprogrammer8455]

Sorry D!@k caught in ceiling fan.. just kidding thank goodness for playback speed control... Ya herd me !

Definitely first

you say rollovers are harder, i can do them fairly consistently cant for the life of me do the thumb chaplin at the start of the 8 ball, i can barely do chaplins as is haha

"just do a thumb roll over".... yeah and that is.... pls just show how to do all parts of the trick and no just "do x tick". it takes maybe a few mins

Horrible video to learn from

[@Flip_B]

Hm..I THINK I got the Behind the 8 Ball..

[@Flip_B]

Here I am a year later. I just watched for the helix because I have finally learned to grab the handle a little further down the get consistent flow in the behind the 8 ball. After knowing that and having that down, I just learned the helix today in about 15 minutes. Not as smooth as the bt8b with it but I got it.
