Hello all 👋🏻 I’m about to start my journey into soloham and was looking for a tutorial for the start up. I’ve just ordered 2 w1ld bound and mega excited 😁 I’m well aware that my skill set is no where near good enough to be attempting this but you gotta aim high I guess! I have done 2 diabolos for many years now and I know this is very different but does have some of the same elements so I’m hoping it’ll give me a fighting chance 🤞🏻 Any advice is much appreciated Thanks Was ---

How much offstring do you know already also? If you are at 0—like never thrown a yoyo/ offstring yoyo, you will want to learn some fundamentals like throwing and catching. If you are sick w/ an offstring already, then dive-in bb. Good luck and have fun yo ---

I agree, this is a fantastic introduction to soloham! @Wasold1 welcome to the wonderful world of 4a soloham! Experience with 2D will help a lot, even if it’s not _exactly_ the same as 4a soloham, it will definitely help. I have a hunch that the areas you’ll need to put in more learning and effort in will be the initial setup and the dismount/catch. These are covered in Rei’s tutorial series so I’d focus mostly on getting those down because if you already have a good foundation in 2D, the actual soloham tricks will likely have a lot of crossover. Once you have the setup and dismount/catch down, I’d highly recommend looking into Rei’s series of 100 soloham tricks and trying your hand at learning them. They aren’t _full_ tutorials but they show different angles of the tricks and slowmo that still help. Feel free to ask more questions here or there’s also a soloham group chat on Instagram if you’re on there. ---

I’m very much a beginner but I have the throw, catch and bind locked and can do some hops underhand catches and arm orbits. Tbh I’ve just been trying trick I know on diabolo as I know how they work. Thanks for all your help ---

Amazing thank you so much! I’ll have a look at the vids on YouTube but unfortunately I don’t use instagram anymore after my account was hacked and instagram did nothing to help, I can’t support a platform that doesn’t support its users I’m afraid 😔 tbh I’ve had more help on here in the last 2 days then I’ve had anywhere else so I’ll stick with it 😊 Thank you again and I look forward to keeping everyone updated with my progress 🙏🏻 ---
