Zenghost,

I dont follow sports.


Pete,

You got it! Eldora is the old mining town at the bottom of the Eldora ski area. You are probably thinking of Barker reservoir next to Nederland. The mountains are not for everybody, but they are heaven for my wife and I.


Bill

i'd say im an intermidiat right now... i can throw and do all that stuff... I'm better then everyone else i know but i've seen way better on the net... my only custom move that i can think of is a backhand throw where i start with doing a simple backhand opening but instead of twisting the handles i let it flip over my backhand where i let it glide to my index finger area (roughly on my backhand) and then flick the wrist to send the bali in the air and catch open... lol... even though i cut myself twice in a row tonight... heh... not my night i guess... i had to put away my jaguar and get out my old 5$ pawn-shop cheapy that couldnt cut butter...

free style

ive done some freestyle but the thing i see alot all looks the same (no offense to anyone). i think if ppl are going to do freestyle they might as well let ppl see something they never saw befor. make ppl remember you.

Spoken with wisdom sjtinkerer...., in fact.., the 3 best folks I've ever scene manipulating Balisongs don't take part on any sort of Knife Forum....

What skills? Wish I had the strength & coordination to develop some skills - my Balis are just one of the tools/means I'm using to get the strength & coordination back so I can develop some of the skills - have to say that working with my Balis are the most fun of any of the Rehab I do - helps when you can do something positive and have fun at the same time! :cool:

Unhappy Bali Skills

Skills...What Skills?

I'm lucky if I can do a speed open 3 out of 3!

BTW: I ordered Alex's new Typhoon - maybe I'll get a dummy blade and some videotapes?
