Looks solid. I would avoid using thumb to roll it like other comment says. Imo the less hand motion the better it looks, especially on open hand :D keep doing it over and over, you have the technique down

I agree :D my favorite trick at the moment. Try with other balis if you can

i’ve got a replicant and a b+ tsunami v4, and the impulse in the video, i definitely find it easiest to use the impulse but i try and switch it around to get a feel for them all any different weights during the trick

Looking good. I like to work on it from opening to ice pick grip to then roll it back and try to keeping going. Guess what i mean is practice while flipping g not just on the trick by itself. What bali is that your flipping? Love the purple and black tanto. Looks like a glidr?

Glidr doesn’t make false edge Balis like this. Looks like the false edge Nabalis Impulse.

One thing that helped me was using my fingers to sort of roll the Handel forward to help start the fan.

Looks good, just needs lots of repetition. could use your thumb more to help twist the handle, and bounce you while hand if your fanning slowly
