"CALAB LABARDA: Alright, next section we're going to do is what I like to call thumbs up, thumbs down. So, it's going to go like this. As you do your forward spin, bam, back and forth, you're going to go here as you come up thumbs up, come back thumbs down, okay? Now, I'm just doing two complete thumb spins, before we do it over the fingers, we did one, and we did back over the fingers. Okay, this time we do is thumbs up, thumbs down. So, how we do this from here, you spin down, come up, thumbs out, okay, spin it over catch upside down, now keep your thumbs right where they are, spin it back around, and back, okay. So, thumbs going up, thumbs going down. Okay, that's a really cool thing to do. If you do it backwards from here, spin, spin over the thumb one, and then spin it back over, two, okay? So, down one, two, practice with both hands, do in opposites at the same time, okay. So, here up one, catch, as soon as I ground, two, to the other hand, spin across, come back, two, alright? And that's going to a really cool move you can do. So, again, having down, bring thumbs up going over, flip, grab, flip back over, thumbs down, flip over again here, grab, and over. So from the front view, flip over, my hand is going to come around, grab the bottom and check, flip, it should be upside down. I can throw it back over that will thumbs that's up, flip, okay. It should be rest around the thumbs, grab, flip around, all the way to the catch."
