Easiest Ole spin, and how to do it

holdsworth · Posted: Oct 02, 2005 1:36 pm Post subject: Easiest Ole spin, and how to do it

i am looking to possibly try to do an ole spin, maybe a couple, and i was wondering what the easiest would be and a good explanation on how to do it. i am thinking that a ts fs ole 5 would be pretty simple, i just need some input. thanks in advance.

That's the easiest one for me. Pop like an off-axis 5, and keep the handle low as you initiate your rotation. Then (when you're about 180 deg. around) whip the handle up above your head, and pull it back to your hip once the rope is clear. If you do this correctly the trick will complete itself. The key is to have the proper rope tension as you pop, and raise your arm at the correct time. Good luck!

what if i can't do an OA 5 Laughing

i might go to grab it mute and do as you said with the rope. is it the same to do on the water as it is on a trampoline? if so, i can hook my rope up to the basketball hoop pole and give it a whirl.

on axis ole spins are ridiculosly difficuly (i.e. murray: All or Nothing) and not many people can do them like that. even keith lyman gets a little o/a. Not to cut you down, but you might want to learn that one first. itll be 100 times easier to do t/s ole 5 once you can t/s o/a 5. infact if you mess up the handle pass on the 5, you can actually ole (if you do it at correct time like ty540 said) and come out ok. this is how I stumbled onto this trick, and now its even easier than the o/a 5 for me.

as far as difference between water/tramp: the water you need to be more patient and expect to resist a harder pull as you ole the rope. then lust landing on edge like and t/s 180, crow, 5, etc.. that's about the only big differences that could surprise you.

to do an oa 5, should i do it like a scarecrow with the handle held at my waist?

The pop is similar to a crow, but keep your head and upper body upright, and hold the rope down near your butt. The general rule is this: the more off axis you want to go, use a more abrupt edge change (trip flip style). So you want to use a smoother, more constant edge for an ole 5 than you would for a crow.

from what i gather in this thread, an ole spin is a spin where you rotate the handle around/over your head rather than behind your back. but why is it called ole, and how do you pronounce it... this is killin me

holdsworth · Posted: Oct 03, 2005 3:14 am Post subject:

i am thinking oh-lee. i never knew how it was pronounced either.

next time out, i will probably try an OA 5, and if i feel comfortable at that, then i would go for the ole.

kuehn, sorry...i don't suck. it seems easy to me. i'm not a beginner, genius.

so when you ask about a hs mobe, i can make fun of you for saying it's easy? it's easy to me, at least.

If its that simple then what you asking questions.

LFADAM · Posted: Oct 03, 2005 4:00 pm Post subject:

kuehn, he is at a skill level where it isnt a stretch to try that..its like learning a TS 180 if you can do a HS 180. He still hasnt tried it so he just wants tips...even if it wont be too difficult for him to learn, tips always help.

ohio_wake_2008, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to call you out unless you can show us a video....So far the only pictures I can find of you are gloved crows and tannys......

LFADAM · Posted: Oct 03, 2005 5:10 pm Post subject:

Ctipping, I have seen a video. It was like 30 secs but I saw a TS roll 2 blind (he may have fallen but it was obvious he could land it) and a crow mobe. Hes for real.

dope. I take it back. I wanna see that vid.

so if im going in goofy foot what hand do i let go with to make the ole instead of the handle pass??and how much off axis should i take it?? Like i try to lay it out like an sbend with legs straight or just like my tsoa5s just with no pass??

holdsworth · Posted: Oct 03, 2005 6:11 pm Post subject:

heh. i don't know about THOSE tricks in a vid until next year. i haven't been on the water too often lately...and i don't feel like gettin hurt (soccer). sorry. but YES! i can do everything that i say i can. i've landed crow mobes, ts roll 2 blind (handlepass, i may add), and a hs mobe. the last HS mobe i tried, my arm got caught in the handle...it scared me away a little bit. i will get the link to my video.

there you go.

also, with my ts roll 2 blind...i haven't been able to land it for a while. i can get the rotation and everything...don't think i can do that part...the handlepas is VERY difficult though. it's one of those trick you have to keep doing about everyday to keep it with ya.

on my crow mobes, i can get the full rotation, land, but getting the handle situated is my problem.

Ts roll to blinds are a bitch. I don't have them consistant but I land maybe one in ten. Thats a sweet vid man. I like the tanny2b. Never knew you were that good. You just gained a considerable amount of credibility in my book.

holdsworth · Posted: Oct 04, 2005 7:13 am Post subject:

Ctipping, haha thanks a lot. i also lost my tanny2b Laughing

i don't know why i've lost so much....i haven't tried it for a while, but i did have them perfect.

?????what the hell has you and a mobe on a got to do with the price of potatoes?? and why would i be getting advice from you about it? i never said you were a novice and seen your vid and read YOUR POSTS

try to make a bit more sense and leave your EGO next to your brown toothbrush

HOW CAN U SAY ITS SEEMS "SIMPLE" WHEN YOU HAVNT TRIED IT???

holdsworth · Posted: Oct 04, 2005 3:02 pm Post subject:

kuehn, because i have my ts 3's and 5's pretty much perfected, and i can probably learn it in about 5 minutes if i set my mind to it. i just love to learn new tricks, so usually it's pretty easy to learn them once i think about the rotation and all that fun stuff. the ole 5 seems simple because i've seen people do them, "study" the rotation of it, and found it to be easy.

Kuehn: Pretty sure you brought the "tude" to this trick tips section with "If its that simple then what you asking questions"

You have yet to offer a suggestion to help him pick up the trick or any suggestion at all as far as the trick is concerned.

Trying to stay on topic here: I was working on the same trick hs and was curious how similar the pull of the rope was compared to a whirly? I guniea pigged it out the other day and it felt like I had to use a lot more muscle for the ole portion than a whirly does but I still felt the whirly whipping action. Am I on the right track or should the pull be similar in tension, meaning less aggro cut, more over handle, and less out the back?

I've landed a couple TS ole 5s. For me the hard part is making them not look like a crow. I've only really done 2 that felt like an OA ole 5 instead of a crow. Keep your head looking over your shoulder. If you tuck it down in any way, it will be a crow.

ohio_wake_2008, by the way I could probably watch that TS roll to blind all day.

Thomas P., Im not sure if you were following up to my post, but I was talking about Ctipping, not Ohiowake

hey guys i have also tried to do the oa 5 ole style. It feels really strange, like a wirly but different. When i looked at myself doing that trick on video, it seems like a start to do the first part oa and then then last part looks like a stretched out crow. Then i tried doing wrapped oa 5. And that feels like a tru oa spin, when i look at the footage it looks pretty sweet. but when i try to do normal oa ole it looks like a crow. Does anybody know why?
