I got an idea to put some white electrical tape around the hub of my yoyo. This definitely helps a lot with visibility on camera. One day I will buy a black cloth for the background.

Here’s a funny bit of 4A lore I learned.

What yotricks calls the “cast whip” was originally named Minority Report, as in the Tom Cruise film lol.

Because it starts out like an overhand whip, but you end up with a different future by letting the yoyo just fall into the slack, instead of directly whipping the slack into the gap of the yoyo.

The first two whips are basic overhand whips, and then the latter two are minority report whips.

Well, it came back to my hand eventually.

I still can’t get leg turns to be smooth but they look so cool that I wanna be able to do them better.

Thanks for the contributions @andy569 and @GTDropKnot. The recording setup looks pretty nice GT. With that black curtain and hardwood floor it looks kinda like a stage. You’ve gotta figure out a way to get a red split curtain in front of you that you can draw back at the beginning. :rofl::+1:

Looks like I just missed offtober! I’ve been playing 4A almost every day for the last couple weeks and have been really enjoying it! Thought I’d find a thread like the 3A Thursday thread for 4A but couldn’t find one that was currently active. Anyone open to joining in a thread for 4A outside of offtober?

I’d be open to join! I love 4A, and it’s such a same it doesn’t currently have an active megathread.

4A are just a hand full of people on here. Pretty hard to keep a 4A thread alive. I am happy to join but I became also too lazy to post the last year.

Normally it is winter here this part of the year. But feels more like early spring. Time for some 4A at the lake.

Yeah I was noticing that the group was relatively small but who knows, maybe we can help it grow? It’s such a fun style and after the initial bumps it can be super rewarding to learn :slight_smile:

Here’s a video with some of the tricks I’ve been smoothing out this week with my new Ace-yo Vamos 2!

Most fun style imo. But yeah a bit harder to get started. I renamed the thread. So here we go :smile:
