I injure myself enough doing side style tricks for now. What’s a good yoyo to learn horizontal with that’s plastic. AoE? Shooting star? ---

I can do some horizontal tricks, but I am definitely not great at it. For me it doesn’t really feel that cool to do it. When I film it, it looks kinda cool but I don’t get the satisfaction from it. Maybe because I’m only doing some simple combos. ---

The whole boomer nomenclature is so played out. I wish it would just go away. Maybe it’s just me but it feels offensive. Not calling you out specifically, I know you didn’t start it as some seemed to jump on the train. Just not my thing. I do dabble with horizontal play and can do some basic stuff. ---

I have just landed horizontal skin the gerbil today. Clean and more than 5 times during a one hour session .I first tried horizontal three months ago. After a pause of 2 months in order to also try 5a I got back to trying horizontal two days ago. Can only do 3 binds so far and from today, gerbil. ---
