yh true... try to practise with something heavy like a metal rod or drum sticks. If you're learning tricks like twisted sonic bust or TA rev, it has more momentum therefore when you get used to it, apply the positions of the trick to a pen.

As for TA Rev being on the easier tricks, I must disagree very strongly! I would say there are at least 50 tricks more easy than a TA Rev!

Gee,is it really that hard? I think TA normal is harder than the reverse.
FL TA rev's the easiest,for the win!

Well to revive an old thread,

I can now do a charge, infinity, fp, sonic, ta.

All linked, but not very smooth though, but i am happy that I am progressing with my mini routine.

Thanks again guys for all your continuing help.

great to hear you're doing well voyager.
i didn't even think about linking tricks until i'd got well past fundamentals and it caused problems when i came to do combos. sounds like you're doing things in the right order. keep at it and let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
