    Around stalls! It's a seemingly simple trick but it's tricky because of that handle stall at the end.

    My favorite "around" trick is definitely the Tunbridge Wells!! When you actually land the whole thing through its such a satisfying feeling

    this is not an "around" trick yet but I have been warming up with a simple big cup flow:

    Big Cup 》 Ken flip Big Cup 》 Ken Roll Big Cup 》 360 flip big cup 》 Turn Table 》 spike

    my warm-up trick is usually around the 37 tap insta borders quint flip trade to solar flare quad flip to solar flare, quint kenflip juggle (X50) to the next cup or in after base cup. I call it around kids these days.

    Oh, and I forgot the yank.

    Around earth turn, switch-grip, j stick, landed as flowy as possible with no pauses or breaks (not even to fix the string). Simple yet satisfying

    Around double whirlslinger. I’ve always found whirlslingers much easier than whirlwinds for some reason, maybe because I don’t have to put as much emphasis on the lofty earth turn.

    Around 123 J Stick is a fun one, and it comes with just enough difficulty.

    Around London is definitely a fave!
