Sylum's Balisong tutorial and video corner.


Sylum

Recommended Posts

As I'm progressing with my balisong flipping, I've decided to try and learn a new trick every week. Honestly, this is one of the most fun things I've done in a long time.

As I will be recording video one soon, it will consist of the things I know so far. After that, every video will be a new technique every week.

List of techniques so far:

Vertical Open

Horizontal Open

Aerial

Y2K Rollover

Zen Rollover

Van Gough

Video one will be up soon.

The.next texhnique I'll be working on is called the helix.

Man, I wish I could do that without decapitating myself.

Or had a knife to even try  :lol:

In the UK, you're legally allowed to carry a flick knife if you only have 1 hand.

Meanwhile, in Russia, if you have both hands you can carry an RPG-7.

Lone, I actually get mine and immediately dull them to where it just hurts instead of cuts. XD

You can actually buy a trainer which has the blade but no cutting edge. It's impossible to sharpen too.

Last video of the day.

I hope it's ok that I'm double posting since it's a thread I'll be updating every now and then. >.>

So I've been a  member of an arena based Balisong forum for a day or so now. They run the FATOC. Flipping Arena Tournament of Champions. Besides running the big six week video tourney, they also have a subforum for users to challenge each other. I recently accepted my first challenge.

http://www.brokenbrains.us/arena/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3046

You can follow it in that thread.

(DISCLAIMER: I'm not advertising this site. I'm strictly posting it so people can keep up with my challenges and such. I doubt many people here are interested in balisongs anyway. XD0
