I left the hobby a few years ago when green triangles were the best thing since sliced bread.
But lately as I’ve been getting back into it I don’t see so man tricks incorporating a green triangle, am I just not watching the right videos are are they dead?
Yeah I second username1 but I still think they are extremely fun but with routines becoming more complex it is harder to see them where as something like gyroscopic flop is simple and looks great to non yoyoers and yoyoers alike.
I see a lot of techy tricks now that have small triangles in them for brief moments, and they’re really difficult to spot. Even some of my tricks are like that. I don’t think green triangles have gone away, I think today’s tricks leave them drowning in a sea of other moves and mounts.
I don’t see them being no creative. When somwone does some crazy combos and land in a GT unexpectedly, it’s kinda pretty amazing. Take breakdancing for example. Freezes are finishing moves. GTs do the same for me. How did they get into that? How did I not see that coming? How did they have all that string tangled up and then end in a GT? They are still used often, but as some had said, they are placed in complicated intricate tricks where try hop out of them so quickly you may not see it.
Love GTs. Just made a new combo that ends in a cross armed GT.
I try to avoid GTs most of the time because they’re one of the most overused elements in most play styles while I prefer the challenge of trying to find some weird, new element. A lot of the time, they can be anticipated in a freestyle or instagram video, because you see them hopping the yoyo around in some techish formation where you know a gt is possible. They can be cool in moderation, but using them in every trick is overkill imo so I try to stay away from them.
I have many combo’s that end in a GT. I personally love this mount, and I like to find new ways to do so. Sometimes I do try to avoid GT’s, but it just ends up happening anyway I just let my trick creation flow into whatever I find myself in
