The Flipping Arena

Just thought I'd start a thread and throw up some practice vids. It won't have anything for the challenges, or ladder worthy material. Just some vids of me messing around with the bali (and probably a lot of mistakes). Maybe we could get a video thread sticky to go with our picture thread one. sometimes you have to sort through a lot of garbage on the tube when looking for balisong vids, this would be a spot for non-challenge vids of the arena members; just a thought anyways, enjoy my vids. they may not be top notch , but the it'll be hilarious when I eventually stab myself somewhere, it hasn't happened yet, but it's only a matter of time.






as always, comments are welcome both negative and positive. Don't hold back, I can take it

Heh good idea, we all need to see some good bloopers sometimes.

ESPECIALLY bloopers from someone like Loosey !
Seeing bloopers from Matnotah would be kinda funny would be fucking funny cuz he's usually so fucking smooth.

thats cool mang... I was rooting for you to nail the trick you were working on and when you did I was like hell ya go spyder! heheh

non ladder vids practice vids and stuff can go in a sticky if everyone else is cool with it.

also .. this vid reminded me how much I like J5

BUT....

what no guillotine?
wheres that crazy snap opening?

hee!
Loosey

MY bloopers are just me swearing a lot, as seen in my greatest misses video.

2:58 pwns.

that "knee pop" is fucking ill.


license to ill...


Loosey

thanks guys. that knee-pop is even easier than it looks. the knife just opens up everytime

Loosey asked, and he shall receive. trying out his new trick opening. landed a couple of variations into open position (purely accidental) but they don't look half bad IMO. Oh and a stab in my hand, told you it'd happen soon enough I've been stickin myself all goddamn afternoon trying this trick. the one I finally caught at the end is the cleanest one I did all day.

nice man!

its harder then it looks eh?


hehe
Loosey

yeah , I had to feel it out until I was holding it at the right spot and getting the right 'flick'. painful process, but gratifying as hell once I got it

here's another one. I finally got that fuckin combo from the other vid and after watching loosey's crazy snap opening the other day, I set out to invent a little something of my own. not quite perfected yet. instead of doubling out from the ice-pick grip when I catch it, I'm gonna try to throw it straight into a thumb roll-over. I think it'll add just enough to make it a half decent looking trick. double y2k's are pissin me off!!

I must be losing it. I could swear I posted this here earlier today, but obviously I didn't Anyways, I had another video deleted and figured the least I could do was make another to take it's place.

said it already on another board, but dude, i love the toss into the box......very cool

did I post this somewhere else? if so you mind tellin me where? I really need to stop working so much, I'm doing stuff without realizing it lately. I am a walking brainfart.

shit man, it mighta been on youtube......hahaha im kinda outta it lately

I've looked everywhere ( I think) I can't find where I posted it. I must've tried to post it here and hit preview instead of submit
