P-A-I/P-X-I Tresillo Advice Sought

Anyone know of any clear, and hopefully slow, illustrations of P-up, A-down, I-down and/or P-up, X-down, I-down tresillos? I’ve searched youtube without any luck, and none of the DVDs or books I have clearly explain these. I’ve been working through the Worms/Herrero and Granados technique books and I’ve hit a bit of a snag with these two rasgeuados. I understand that these movements are bound to be clumsy at first, but these two feel really awkward, and I don’t want to spend the next couple of months training my muscles to perform these tasks in a way that’s counterproductive, only to have to change it all later on. I guess I’m mostly concerned with what the non-active fingers are doing during the movement. When I do P-A-I, M and X are extended out. When I do P-X- I, M and A are lightly curled back into the palm. Does this make sense? Do these sound right? Any advice would be of great help. Thank you

No problem , wasent hard, guitar was in my lap allready and cam allready attached there is a very litlle flick but most of it is from the wrist , same motion as turning the door knob. the reason the flick is because it keeps the fingers extended and gives you a more even rounded sound, and it assures you hitt the string with the right part, make sure u strike with eachfinger evenly, otherwise it loses the rounddness , its most reason why finghers are extended for each strike rather than curled. the eazyest way to practice it , practice it slowly with flick flick thumb up. flick x down. flick i down. and repeat evenly, do this until it will naturaly speed up by itself and even up by itself, the rest sorts itself out.
