Continuous Sonic Rise > Neo-Backaround 12-34

(This is the www.BookofCool.com Flash trailer video. The video starts with continuous halftaps > TS1.5 > snap flip and then consecutive sonic rise to Neo-Backaround 12-34.)

The difficult aspect of this combo is the Neo-Backaround 12-34 catch. The pencil must carry momentum so that it spins under the pinky and translates into momentum into the sonic rise as the hand is turned over. It is also important to catch the pencil high on the pinky finger to be positioned correctly for the Sonic 34-23. As a prerequisite learn the shorter combo, Neobak T1-23 to Sonic, and progress to the Neo-Bak 12-34 to Sonic Rise from there.
