5AMay 2024 - Week 1

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!!:rofl::rofl::rofl:
(For the unaware…this is a reference to a line from The Princess Bride and was meant as a joke…:roll_eyes:)
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.” :laughing:


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.

I have some responsive for you right here (at the end of this video).

Here’s all entries this week.

I totally should have included a pic of Miracle Max in my post. How thoughtless of me.

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!

:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

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.

All I’m hearing here is…I’ve been hired!!! That means somebody is supposed to be paying me!!:rofl::rofl:

I’m not sure what the boomers for of payment is. Peanuts? Rupees? Standing on queue at the dmv? Denture cream? But you’ll have to take it up with them!
