Whats going on everybody? Sorry I havnt been around as much lately, Ive been busy as hell.  :| I hope everyone is doing good! I had some extra time last night so I decided to make a tutorial demonstrating how to clean and re-lubricate your ball bearing nunchaku.  :-) I hope you like it.



Theres a new freestyle at the end too. Ive been working on UW thumbspin BTB 360 Aerial Partial reverse rebounds, I finally got one filmed at 8:05 and 9:38.

PS.I love the new logo Wild Industry!

I've been looking all over for a bottle of speed cream and no luck :-P

Would this suffice? I think I got a few bottles left in my room :mrgreen:

Thanks Jose. I want to make a series of videos on maintaining your nunchaku. Replacing heads, fixing pins, removing chain links, restringing, etc.  :bow: I hope your doing good bro!

You can also apply the lubrication on the top of the bearing without removing the heads. Just apply it in the crack leading to the inside of the bearing. What time in the video did I do the thumbspin hybrid? If its a thumbspin-wrist roll Ive been doing that for a long time probably over a year. Who knows though the forum is like a pool of knowledge.

LOL! I wouldnt trust it on my nunchaku, maybe my girl, not my nunchaku. LOL. We have speed cream at the shop I can send you some if you need it. Bones speed cream is exceptional

Wow Rich!!!  That is a total cleaning of chux's bearing.. Thanks!!!  I use to clean my skateboard's bearings by soaking in oil for about a month.. and the same method I do with my computer's stuck up auxiliary fan(+CPU and VGA fan).. that is really dead dirty like hell condition.  :hide:

Great freestylin' bro!! nice speed and complex moves!  :arg and nice BTB throw to partial rebound!!

Thanks Matt! Ive been working on alot of new stuff lately, alot of which was inspired from your concept videos. :respect: Those reverse rebound moves are killer. Some of your best creations!  I always have fun with those, but I still dont get how you do some of the variations!  :bow: When was the last time you picked up your chained chucks?

Thanks Howard! Its funny how those old skateboarding methods work for nunchaku as well! All three of us (Matt, You, and me) used to skate! I still see Matt Chez as the Rodney Mullen of nunchaku!
