Knee spin tutorial - 01-16-2008, 01:31 AM

hey guys.

its been a while since ive been on bboy.org..
probably actually lik 4 months.
stupid basketball and school has kept me on lock

but im commin back wit my kneespin tutorial


basically
kneespins are probably one of the easiest spins out there
(in my opinion)

there are at the least two ways to do a kneespin. these include spinning on one knee with the free leg bent and infront of the spinning knee, or ---the one that im showing you--- a knee spin with the free leg as straight and as far back as you can put it

(if there are more ways..great..lol i dont know them so dont go off on me that im teachin you the only way)

haha

you will understand in my video tutorial.


the knee spin is pretty self explanatory in my video tutorial,
so i will resort to just giving tips in the text part of the tutorial

make sure
you have a form of protection for your knees as you start off.
i bought a six dollar pair of kneepads from sport chalet. you could also use articles of clothing such as a beanie, shirt, etc.

this will save your knees from burns and a lot of pain xD

also
make sure that your free knee is straight
(i failed to accomplish this on some of my spins)
but its a good practice to keep the knee so straight that it is about to lock *"(BUT DOESNT! this will cause a cut off of circulation of blood)***


common sense also comes into play..
your not going to want to kneespin on concrete without any protection.
and even a beanie may not help in this case..
you would need more of a helmet..

the best place. is wood


alrighttt enough talking

heres my video tutorial

if you have any questions, you can ask me here

or add me on myspace

I would laugh if someone pulled off this kneespin in a battle, it's about as dope as walking in circles. Way too much pushing involved, and the pushing creates about the only momentum you get. Make a guide for the first way to kneespin if you can do it. The first way looks a hell of a lot better. Maybe if you were better at the straight leg way and found a way to make it look good, people would want to try and follow this guide?

Not trying to hate but maybe you should listen to whoever responded to your video rather than insisting your move is another varation of the move that should be accepted. It's like you're teaching airflares when you only know how to handstand. Learn the move, then teach it.

Nice white legs by the way.
