Heck yeah. This is my Day 1 Throwtation™️. Will post a video doing all the tricks I know (a solid 40 seconds [maybe]) later.

I’ve been liking a simple ambidexterity training loop of throwing a little pinwheel flourish, trapeze, 360, then the same in reverse. I’m trying to teach myself to stay on plain better when I’m not holding the CW in my throw hand.

5A is fun but hard!

I just wanted to say I like beads even though they can be a pain in the you know what to get on the string lol. 90% because they add some aesthetic and look cool, 10% because I prefer it over a slipknot. I found a dark green one that matches my Takeshi die almost perfectly

My main 5a throw is the incredible IX

Also doing other styles but I’ll do some 5a every day.

And here i thought I had the “basics” down 😅 looking good! I think watching you in slow motion just helped me figure out how to do bee stings. 5A Butterflies are another story…

My counterweights are packed up currently. I have to get them out, but I can get gnarly with this hatchimal toy I stepped on earlier. MYY N12 for the throw so I can replace it cheaply when it shoots down the street into traffic.
