the art of tune flickin!

[butty]

come on then dj's which way do u go thru 'yer box front to back back to front sideways do u go for the right hand left hand switch combo manoeveur or do u tend to go for the smart but casual 1 handed approach or r u a daredeviln go for the 2 step 2 finger technique?

me personally normally go for the back to front left hand right hand interchangin combo flick but whilst frantically lookin for teknoage when i was at maximes last i was a bit forceful and broke sheryl kay - let theb beat hit em in half i shit u not. and so since then ive been developing a new flick which is a cross between my standard changin combo manoeuvre but ive incorporated an extra thumb to give protection to the tune infront - up 2 now i havent had any accidents but am only running at half speed and so will let u know what happens when i crank me paws up 2 the max

of course i have only been practisin on my shitters box dont wanna go breakin me twist in 2 il slit me wrists

at the same time tho i gotta say the doods who pressed the sheryl jay vinyl didnt give no thought whatsoever to dj's who work at high speeds the thinnest peice of vinyl i ever did see its like a popadom!

if 1 good thing is 2 come out of this tragic event is at least i got a nice pic sleeve to put on me wall of sheryl jays whaps - maybe it was just fate eh

I'm the flick-fucking-master.

I'm a front to back man, using alternate thumbs to raise a single record at a time, whilst my other hand moves back to prepare the next record for lifting. My hands are moving that fast it's similar to watching a chef chopping cucumbers on a world record attempt. It's not been unknown for crowds to gather round in VinylExchange to watch me going through the big "to be put out" box and then spontaneous applause and wild cheering being heard on reaching the end. Girls and persons of a nervous diposition have been known to faint before now.

lol nowt like that 2 be put out box is there mate found many a gem in that bleeder u also noticed that handy little "seat" they provide u with but they dont know it theres always a step stool near the to go out box park yer arse on it next time yer in -in fact gonna graffiti me name on it lol

eh up new game new game who can leave subliminal messages in VE!!!! im mad for it


ps u got a nice motion there fella i rekon good on ya son i might try that altho ive developed mine now and so wud feel it was unwise to change tactics at this point in time. a couple of questions with your tactics tho.....

1) do u ever have problems with doublepack vinyl? as ur only lifting with a thumb im thinkin the weight could cause problems and in later life maybe athritis or thrombosis

2) have u ever tried doin a 2'some on the large "2 go out" box?? as im thinkin me and you could be a double team on that bad boy as i go from back to front and using the opposite assault on the beast. and so im thinkin diffrent standin/seating positions (dependin on who has the foot stool of course) - only a suggestion mind fella id never get in the way of a man with his hands flyin about if he wasnt fully cooperative as the risk of injury is high and of course we aint insured on them premisis :


apart from that mate its good to see diverse new ways of tune flicking it shows that it will live on for many years to come - myself am thinking of going and getting a windtunnel to practice the aerodynamics n that

Years of hunting in 2nd hand record sotres for old disco tunes has made me adapt at flicking through two boxes at once...

although it is yet to impress anyone....
