I sort of loop over the major scale in this video. Pick directions should be consistent with economy picking (apart from maybe a couple of flubs); but in retrospect I think the technique is a bit bouncy and also as mentioned before I think I need to work on rest stroke technique to fix the "mini sweep" parts of this for proper economy picking.

This is another tremolo attempt. I have attempted to be a bit more supinated in this video but without anchoring on the bridge. However, I have anchored on the body with my forearm. I thought this might work better due to being "more similar" to the earlier attempt from a few weeks ago when you asked me to try again more supinated. However, I think I was lightly anchored on the strings or something in that older video and when recording this new video it felt inferior to the video where I am anchored on the bridge.

Okay, here is another tremolo attempt. I have attempted to be a bit more supinated and I have anchored on the bridge with the pisoform bone on the bridge as suggested in the videos (and anchored on the body with my forearm). I haven't attempted to go to the more "beak-hand"-like versions of the RDT form that is visible in some - or even many - of the videos - hopefully this is okay.

Okay, here is a tremolo. I attempted to use my usual picking method. (I tried to "encourage" this by warming up with playing the major scale as fast as possible before. I could upload this as well, if you are interested, but it looks somewhat like string-hopping to me, although when I played it back, it was faster than I expected/ remembered.). So I think it looks most like wrist motion (although potentially with tremolo I might feel like treating it as a special case and use elbow motion although that might not be my usual picking technique). Anyway, with the tremolo, I did a couple of previous takes which were crisper; but a bit jerky. I've uploaded the last take which I think is less jerky; but unfortunately a bit blurry. I could upload the preceding take if you like or maybe you will want me to film another fresh video - hopefully this one is okay.

Okay, here is another attempt at the Di Meola-Style tap test with a rest for my wrist. I also included the metronome this time since you asked for a faster attempt and the metronome helps me aim for a particular tempo. It is just set at 140 bpm which is a bit more modest than my earlier claimed 160 bpm (which isn't necessarily that fast for a motion test either, I suppose).
