Everybody has to start from somewhere, and 5A is just generally hard to begin with. I picked these elements because I thought they’d be the easiest rebounds for people still uncomfortable with e-fans. Although easiest still doesn’t mean easy, especially in the context of 5A ---

Yeah honestly I’ve been working on this for over an hour now…and have landed the first segment exactly 0 times so far. This is not super easy. ---

@mable can elaborate but the elements can be broken apart and learned/used separately with the first set being the most involved ---

If you post a clip I can try to see where you may be struggling, or I can elaborate on anything that isn’t super clear. The first part is definitely the hardest aspect of the trick, but you can start straight from part 2 and focus on the double or nothing rebounds which is easier since there’s less actually happening within the mount. ---

I can land the first portion of part 1. But going from there in to the second portion is proving to be a struggle. I think I need to isolate the yoyo and the CW movement and practice them individually before I can do them at the same time. ---

Yeah, the rebounds and yoyo movement in this are pretty independent so that definitely seems like a solid approach. You can just leave the cw hanging or wrapped around one of your hands while you do the yoyo movement or vice verse. ---

It’s Miracle Moon from beatmania gottamix. If you dig that you should really listen to Sana’s albums. Sana-mode is my favorite but she’s still crushing it on the latest, Delight.37.

CLYW Wish, I like more narrow gaps and broad response for 5A. It helps a lot with keeping your binds tight while using shorter string imo. ---

Do you use thicker string along with the response or something like normal? ---

I kinda prefer normal thickness string which is why I like narrow gaps and broad response, but I use XL string with most modern yo-yos with 19mm response and ~4.5mm gaps. I think layering normal thickness string in a narrower gap feels a lot better and less snaggy than using thicker strings on wider gaps with softer pads personally. ---
