I’m curious if there are any yoyo players who may come from a gymnastic background and do tricks involving cartwheels or flips or even par cour, I haven’t seen anything like this I think it would destroy the ‘original tricks’ judging category. ---

I’ve been getting good enough so I can do it on a trampoline, but I haven’t done it on the actual ground yet. I think it would look amazing if I did it with 2a, like Shu Takada. ---

I’ve been getting good enough so I can do it on a trampoline, but I haven’t done it on the actual ground yet. I think it would look amazing if I did it with 2a, like Shu Takada. Be careful. Trampoline is a cake walk compared to ground. Only try ground if you’ve done it off of low ledges first. Even doing it on a trampoline without bouncing is a lot easier. ---
