5A beginner here. I tried it a few times but it didnā€™t catch meā€¦ 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.

Itā€™s tough. I have a lot of trouble catching the CW. No one ever picked me first for sports. :flushed:

I recommend checking on Connors newest video - from like 25th second he explains windmill and how to catch the CW

Unfortunately of all the styles I like 5A the least, every trick is like Harvester of sorrow for me, but still I need to provide attentionā€¦and justice for all styles, so I grabbed my Blackened Freehand and tried to do Trick ladder and Trick a week (not in a row)ā€¦:grin:

Here we go!
I can do two of the tricks for the TaW, how does the entryā€™s work for that? Do you need all four for one entry or is it one entry per variation?

Edit:
Hereā€™s my two TaW tricks I could do, I figured out the others but Iā€™m too lazy to record edit and post :crazy_face:

Idk if it counts because itā€™s just two, but either way, here they are!

Nailed a windmill a 360 and mostly the basic stallā€¦which is much less basic than a pumpkin spice latte if I say so myself.
