Week 8 — Pancake Flip by Bella Freestylin’
This week’s trick is pancake flip. A couple of little tips:
- Don’t forget to switch to your thumb near the beginning. If you want to, you can even just land the trapeze over your thumb.
- A big part of the trick is the timing of the flips. Starting the TH with a little rotation basically immediately after the undercut helped me (you can see it at :29 in Bella’s video).
- If you need to, don’t be afraid to almost pinch the string against your hand with your NTH thumb to maintain the slack. It can help get the motion down while you’re learning.
This is a fun one, if you learn it quickly, take a look at Akitoshi Tokubuchi’s escape from the end — there’s a lot of similarity in the movements.
