i have done more and more of these as the season opens up. not all of them are intentional. if you can do t/s off axis 5 then these are a no brainer. on axis 5's are okay, but the offaxis feeling will make it 10x easier. the feeling is almost a 60/40 mix of t/s o/a 5 and scarecrow.

from what i have picked up on faulty o/a spin attempts is to hold the handle as long as possible and little higher than you would for a normal spin. then you will come around and feel the ole motion whip you around into rotation. careful, this can be sharp and unexpected to try and prepare by keeping the rope tight and close. then after rotation is finishing, bring the rope down toward your waist and ride it out just like a crow or 5.
