5A May 2025

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.

Looks fun can’t wait to try it!

@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’m still desperately trying to figure out half bee sting so I can get my ATC point for the week.

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.

Ok so I spent like an hour on this trick learning the first step and half of step two, it’s very fun!

Recorded these earlier today just to have something to post since I’ve been slacking on playing yoyo this month oops, too much other stuff to do.

can i get a track id on this haha i love me my j tunes

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.

This is cool I love the hook thing you did! What yoyo are u using for this?

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.

That makes a lot of sense, I just like to hear peoples setups and why they like them
