Hi folks, there is one question for a long time. How can I train the free hand technic ( open close, up and down whatever you call it)
It works for me slow but in a higher Tempo it will be get chaotic.
I look at a lot of videos by myspace and youtube but always the same . Did anybody can help me??
Please not the one handed roll...the one WITHOUT rim please
Thanks the chief

The free hand technique is exactly what you don't want- the roll using the rim. Instructions found here:

Open close really has the same concepts- one hit when going down, one when going up.
Search for Derrick Pope's tutorials on the net- It's the best tutorial on this technique I've ever seen. Also check out Tim Watersons vids on youtube. He also covers Push pull.

Ok thanks the GRAVITY BLAST is not really hard to play for me , BUT the other tech is in my opinion cooler, because you can get even fast as with the Rimtech but it looks pretty much better than the rimt.
Thanks markus
