Wow!! Very smooth!!! ;D Do you make your own tricks or just add elements from other tricks… If you answered to the second question, then what tricks? ---

I made this trick up, yes. But you can find some elements from other tricks. For example I use part of cold fusion, The first step of yuuki slack, and there’s some ripcord like movements in there, too. ---

I honestly love doing ripcord related tricks. Makes a nice flash to a trick. ---

Been throwin’ for a year and 4 months now. As for tips, just keep watching videos of the people who inspire you the most. Also every once in a while you will hit what feels like a plateau where you don’t feel like you’re getting any better for an extended amount of time. It’s tough, but just keep going. ---

You know how you can tell from someones throw if it will be a good video or not? Well from your first throw I new I would like it, seriously great one throw video. I like the smoothness and how it looks simplistic then you break into the whips and slacks. ---

> [@Alex Fairhurst](#): > > Thanks, Slade! Means a lot coming from someone such as yourself who has been around for so long. Well I have only been active on the forum since February 2011 so just a year, hehe, been yoyoing for 2 years and 3 months though. Still thanks for the thanks, hehe. I would like to see more videos from you though, I really (for some reason) digged that boing motion you did towards maby the last third of your combo, around 42-43 seconds or so. ---
