      so i just learned how to do it and think i got it good, i dont understand who you could flow into it well though, a standard opening to that has a slight pause between getting there and then actually doing it because of the change in momentum, whats the best trick from close to get into the fan and then coolest looking way o get out of the fan aswell

    This helped alot because other people like friends or big flips always kept saying to do a double rollout, which is harder then this. Now I know how to do it whenever i want in any combo this helped so much because you gave me a different way to look at the tric instead of thinking of it as a super hard double roll out upside down fan.

    • @WillHirsch
      @WillHirsch  3 роки тому +5

      Spoiler but I don't believe they provide adequate force of air even though they use the clever principles of pressure dynamics and airfoil technology to direct outside air more efficiently. Honestly the idea of a bladeless fan in this circumstance is a misnomer, no more then a marketing gimmick as even though the visible structure of the fan dawns no blades, the overall acceleration of the air is achieved through bladed fans hidden within the chassis of the device, making it more of a clever scheme then a revolutionary reinvention that the proprietors of this form of product proclaim.

I saw from your 51 vid that stock its terrible, but I have no idea how to go about making it a better even after watching. (Also just a random side note) i used bones speed cream for skateboard bearings on my lucha and it works pretty well, wonder if it would work as well on other balisongs.

    I was in a grocery store and I was practicing flips with my bali when I taught myself how to do a weird little fan that kinda looked like this but it has different fingering and I suck at it, I also completely forget how to do it. To explain it, its pretty much a a fan flourish accept if you fail at it you just make you hand go horizontil and thats it. I was actually just watching a tutorial about a fan flourish and I relized.. "Wait, thats exactly it" so I can back and edited. :)

    @Raees-Divitiae 3 роки тому +1

    May not be completely precise, but it's still quality.
    Everybody has preferences on styles of fanning. This is your style, and I completely respect that. Mine's a bit different, but that's my style. However, you demonstrated how it works, and that's always a plus.
    Still digging the ring, still digging the attention sponge of kitty, and I can't believe you're still rockin the BBbarfly Pro V2. Always nice to see, she's just not for me.

    I ve tried so many times with other tutorials. Maybe the problem is the 10€ balisong i have. Finally success and this is your fault. Keep it up.

    Ironically, I would highly suggest trying it with a BBbarfly (at least the V1 which is the one I have). It's thick handles really help you with the grip and I feel like it flwos very well

    any tach 3 is a good knife to learn the choker on as well due to the rounded handles

    This has proved to be a very tricky trick to learn with my tiny baby fingers.
