I would never make a yoyo out of Gallium because it would melt in your hand and be a big waste of money. I donā€™t plan on recording in an auditorium but Iā€™ll consider it! ---

If you could take a bit of skill to help bolster a certain trick category of your own from another yoyoer (I.e some of Ayumu Kasugaā€™s zoning, Mir Kimā€™s hook-ability, Jensen Kimmittā€™s flow, Zach Gormleyā€™s tech), who would you take it from? You ever try to kick flip a yoyo like this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/0/1/6010106bc7d9b4f6e38eddf8e46be7740b6ee840.png) ---

The process is to integrate my tricks into the music and not the other way around šŸ˜› I first start with the most important parts of the song first. I donā€™t create the freestyle in chronological order, but I choose the most important tricks in terms of emotional impact and I try my best to choose tricks that can match the level of energy needed. If I donā€™t have any tricks that match a portion of the song, I try my best to make a custom trick that matches ---

It didnā€™t take too long, perhaps 3 months and only 2 prototypes. I have a better understanding now of how a yoyoā€™s design practically impacts the play style, so I put more thought into the contrastā€™s design to perform well in all regards ---

Thanks! 1. I started learning from a duncan trick book that was included with some yoyos, as well as youtube. The ā€œwhat would you change in retrospectiveā€ question is fun because I would probably just use the knowledge I have now to go back in time and make my 16 year old self a multi time world champ šŸ¤£ 2. Any unresponsive yoyo with a ball bearing can be a competition yoyo, but the designs have been trending a lot wider in the past five years, thanks mainly to our friend from Australia. ---

Competitive yoyo is definitely getting less interesting over time as players are discovering the most efficient strategies to score well and mimicking each other. I want to make my freestyles more interesting and original to counter balance it ---

I take inspiration from so many great players, but those who inspire me the most are jensen kimmitt, hajime miura, ryuichi nakamura, koyo hashimoto, keiran cooper. I want to win nationals and worlds next year! Or at the very least take my best shot! ---

Chocolate baybay, and I actually JUST got adjustable dumbells and a bench and havenā€™t lifted in 7 years so Iā€™m just now easing back into it, but Iā€™m gonna run outside right now and see how much I can do with one rep (spoiler alert Iā€™m a weenie) ---

I just tried to max out my adjustable dumbells and was barely able to do it, 52.5 on each side so 105lb. Recently I have been doing 65lb for 15 reps (yeah iā€™m a weenie but Iā€™m trying to get stronger) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/connor-seals-forum-chat-ama-and-giveaway-fri-to-tue-11-07-to-11-11/435753.md?page=7) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/connor-seals-forum-chat-ama-and-giveaway-fri-to-tue-11-07-to-11-11/435753.md?page=9)
