5A beginner here. I tried it a few times but it didn’t catch me… I just learned windmill, 360, and gave up on stall. While trying again for this event, I noticed that my middle finger was not going to the TH side of the string like in the tutorial, once I fixed that, it was way easier for me. I got motivated and managed to film ladder, freeform, and TaW while having a lot of fun learning 5A. I played some Kendama before and learned some string tricks there. I feel like the concept is similar and I could use some of that muscle memory.
