So... considering I'm a noob with extremely slight skill who is just now using the forums, how did I do with this trick? Judge as harshly as allowed, I probably deserve it. But I'd prefer constructive criticism telling what I could do better.

I suggest you learn more about your joints before doing anything complicated and such. Do complicated things once you understand your joints. Besides, I can't expect much from a newbie player, so yeah, I can't say much more

Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it.
