Begin in right shoulder (or left shoulder for left-handed spins). Remove your left hand from the bottom tip and turn the flag upside down with your right hand. Make sure that the silk goes down to your left and the pole comes up to your right. It is very important that you do not remove your right hand from the tab or change its position. Once the flag is straight up and down in front of your nose, place your left hand back on the flag, thumb down, and below the right hand. While the silk is down, both thumbs should be pointing down the flag pole. Remove the right hand and continue the spin in the same direction it was started in but with the left hand. Once flag is straight up with the silk up again, grab it with your right hand on the tab, thumb up. Let go of the flag with your left hand and continue the spin with the right until it is upside down again and repeat.
The spins should be fluid (do not stop at the top and bottom except when you are first learning to spin) and should take place with your hands directly in front of your belly-button at all times.
This spin can be stopped using a classic drop stop. Drop the flag into your left hand (like the first count of the spin) then pull the flag up straight, let go with both hands and regrab with the left hand 1/3 of the way from the top tip in the silk and the right hand at the tab.
This spin can be stopped in the flat position by grabbing with your right hand on the flat and sliding it toward the bottom tip, or it can be pulled into a drop spin stop after the left hand grabs thumb down.
Begin as you would a speed spin, but instead of grabbing the silk side of the flag below your right hand, grab the pole side of the flag ABOVE your right hand. Bring the flag through the up and down position to flat again and grab palms up with your right hand just as before, but each time the left hand grabs onto the flag make sure to grab ABOVE your right hand. Your hands should move up and down the pole somewhat and this is what creates the big circle/little circle effect. Between the time where the right hand grabs palms up and the left hand grabs thumbs down above the right is where the flag speeds up.
Stopping is the same as for a speed spin.
Begin with the flag straight up and down with the silk up, right hand on the tab thumb up. Open your hand so that the flag rolls on the palm (counter-clockwise to the spinner) until the silk points down and then grab it. The flag should now be straight up and down with the silk down, and the right hand still at the tab with thumb up. Open the palm again so that the flag continues its counter-clockwise roll until the silk is up again.
This move does not necessarily have to take place on the tab. This can be spun from the center of the pole all the way to the tip and back to the tab, depending on the height and arm length of the spinner. One can also begin the flips at the tab and move down and back up the pole while flipping, making a good exercise to strengthen wrists.
The flip it stopped just by doing the flip itself. Since this is not a continuous motion spin there is no need for a hard stop.
