> [@ENGLISH\_TEA](#): > > And I look dumb while doing it haha! This just goes to show what you know!!! The fact is you only looked “mostly” dumb!! And mostly dumb is NOT all the way dumb!!🤣🤣🤣 (For the unaware…this is a reference to a line from The Princess Bride and was meant as a joke…🙄) That looked great bro!! I’ve gotta say…the untethered yo-yo feels so incredibly sketchy to me!! It looks so cool and I know that if I start hitting any trick at all it’s gonna feel great, but I can feel myself being stiff and hesitant, and I know it won’t flow like that. This barrier might take a minute to overcome but it feels more attainable for me than stall type play. I just can’t get the feel for that. Every time I hit them it’s pure odds. I can never repeat it. Anyways…I’ve always liked the look of this style for watching. It’s very flashy. Looking awesome bro. Keep it coming. ---

They look GREAT! A huge thanks to @Errant.Giraffe and @G2_Jake for the designs. Hrm. Other than some great lookin’ tees, let’s sweeten Throw-Yo’s 5a May contribution a bit. From now until the end of the month y’all can get 15% SOLUTIONS strings of any type with the code **5amay24**. Elixirs seem especially nice with 5a. I’m currently using an Ink with my setup, but I like a little bit of a slippy string. ---

I’m a complete 5A novice, but I’m excited to learn some new stuff. Had a funny moment here though … I play mostly casual 0A style, so when I saw one of the ladder tricks was a basic stall, I thought “Oh, I got this.” And then I watched the video. Oh. “I do not think that word means what _ **I** _ think it means.” 😆 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/2/a/32add8892242ef9a8464982528c55971945f0254.gif) So looking at that 5A stall, with the CW wrapping around and around … this is gonna be an unresponsive game, yeah? ---

Some can be responsive. 5A like most styles started responsive but yeah it’s gonna be more unresponsive focused this time around. ---

It does not “Have” to be Unresponsive. I am actually looking at the trick from a 0A stand point also. Trapeeze Stall, 5A Element, Regen out. If anyone wants to, they can absolutely do these responsive. ---

Am I going mad or did the word ‘think’ escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass! 😜 But Thank you! I’ve only been doing 5A for less than a year, but something finally clicked and I knew it was my favorite, so I’m just working it. But I mean these posts and videos and this contest isn’t about perfection and that’s why I like it! Were running the mile high yoyo jamboree which is an unjudged performance event, you perform anf your name gets put in a hat for drawings! It’s the better way of doing things! ---

Wassup here’s a combo with the trick ladder tricks and then all the variations for the trick a week. I got an idea for the creative entry also but I’m not sure if I’ll get it done for this week and wanna drop these off before I forget. Happy 5a May y’all! ---

Pretty sure the Yoyo is gonna spin out or start unwinding when you unmount it from the trapeze if it’s dead like with a trapeze stall. I’d love to see it if you got it to work though. I do think the basic stall like Miguel teaches is doable responsive, but like I’m pretty sure the yo-yos going to have to stay spinning. ---
