Figure 8

this is a hand motion that doesn't need ur fingertips to be touching the whole time. there r different ways to make a figure 8, including keepin ur wrists together, keeping ur fingertips together, and just not keepin anything touchin. i'll give u a few tips on how to get the motion down by instinct, and u can modify it to however it feels most comfortable or however it looks best

take ur dominant hand (right for me), and draw an 8 in front of u with ur index finger. try to make the shape of the 8 as big as u can while not moving ur arm at all so the motion ur wrist is making is very distinct, and work on gettin that smooth
after u get this down, which shouldn't take too long, put ur other hand next to ur right, and make an 8 with ur index finger, only do it with ur right at the same time and follow ur right finger with ur left
try to maintain the same motion with ur left wrist as ur right
it's pretty damn important to keep that left finger close to and trailing ur right during every part of the 8, cuz that's really what raving is about - gettin 1 hand to twist and turn while at the same time following the other 1

i'll prob get a few pics to put up here to go along with each step to better illustrate the EASY process, cuz sum of u may need them :p

what's next??
