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.

It’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 attention…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)…:grin:

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

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

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