Title: Whats The Diff. Between Thumbspin And Thumbaround?

hey guys, I need help with distinguish thumbspin from TA. Is one go around the thumb, the other is "on top" of the thumb?

Yes.

TA = Around the thumb

TS = On top of the thumb

*Eburt smacks tomit :P

Firstly I moved this to advanced tricks, since TS is considered advanced...

Second, yeah you basically got it right. The most noticable diference is that a TS can do many rotations (so far, up to 17.5) where as a TA only does one rotation, around the thumb, rather than on top of it.

Thanks guy

If your talking about double thumbarounds,... then those are combos.

or, if you mean a tutorial...

http://turtlespin.rbhscsf.org/modules/arti...ticle.php?id=30 <-eh... pretty crappy, but check PS conclave when its back up... bascally just keep doing TAs, and you'll likely start doing them by accident every now and then... thats basically how I learned it.
