Pentix > Tricks > 360 Degree Reverse
 
 
This is the reverse motion of the 360 Degree Normal. It is a little harder than the 360º Normal but still can be done with some effort. It is also known as "Reverse". This trick can be very impressive when used in conjunction with the 360º Normal, since one ends in the starting position of the other.
