I wasn’t bashing on skill level or anything. I was just trying to clarify.

I know I was just /jk ing.
From what I understand Twitch started playing with yoyo’s back in 2003, got stuck on a trick (I think it was suicide but @twitch77 can clarify) and slowly lost interest and then came back and restarted earlier this year.
So assuming he got stuck at Suicide, I would say he was probably around the level I am now when he stopped. 100% an assumption, but probably is about right.
16 year break, means you have to start again from trapeze and he’s been working himself back up again.
Correct me if I am wrong @twitch77

Day #4 update :
Early one today, because I need to start packing my bags and get ready for my morning flight tomorrow.
Going to Korea for a business trip just over a week long.|
Thought I would do something a little different today and challenge myself and decided to do this on a responsive yoyo for the first time, and catch it on camera.
Wasn’t as bad as expected, does that mean I am getting good, or the responsive is getting easier?

I did, but it was just the noob novice division. It was all simple stuff.

Nope, this is all spot on! Except I’ll add that Kamikaze/magic drop were more frustrating to me back then than suicide.
And yeah, coming back I’d forgotten everything! I hadn’t retained anything from my past!

Please stop getting good.
It means I have to stop being lazy and git gud if I wanna keep up.
…And I REALLY like to be lazy.
Nice Pop’N’Freshes and hella cool that you landed Kwyjibo on an old responsive!!! That was awesome!
See ya in a week man!

Haha you have a week coming up where I can’t really yoyo so a guaranteed “stall” week. (Pun intended)
Thanks @twitch77 see you in a week!

I haven’t used it too much yet but (@PCaliyoyos) ,
The string that came with it, in my humble opinion is trash lol. It’s like super loose string that feels like it was wound up by a 4 year old.
But that’s the only con I have on it so far.
The pink colour is beautiful in person the narrower in width to my other yoyos at 40mm it’s great for training tool. Exactly what I was looking for 
More responsive than I expected which is great As I get immediate feedback when I drop string tension.
So for my practice aid usage it’s exactly what I was looking for.
And for a responsive yoyo it seems to spin for ages which I wasn’t really expecting.
Finally, it’s just fun to have it go up and down without binding or ending a trick with the yoyo returning while the string is horizontal. Or even vertical for that matter.

Going into contest mode from today.
My bearing for the VTWO sitting in it’s nice warm Isopropyl Alcohol 99% bath.
I don’t think it needs a clean, nor will it affect my performance in anyway, but the peace of mind knowing that the bearing is at it’s peak having broken in after a good clean and lube today, with a week to break in for optimal performance by Saturday will have one less variable to affect me mentally.
Going to give it a fresh string on the morning too, and use the same type of string between now and then to give me the best chance at consistency. lol maybe I’m going over the top, but this process itself is so much fun I feel it’s part of the enjoyment.

Guys, (basically @twitch77),
This is very unlike me but I am feeling very defeatist today and feeling a bit low.
Kind of think I might just need some sugar, but anyway.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t touched a yoyo for a week…
Maybe because it is now 10am in Korea and I am jet lagged as fudge and feeling really sluggish…
Maybe it’s because I’m so exhausted after the trip, and a day of work and now completely spent…
Or maybe I just need a lot more practice, but I am now going backwards…
I have been really looking forward to today’s practice and although I am super tired I still wanted to give it a shot.
And today I thought I might even try my routine with all 6 yoyo’s in my bag.
But it was just so frustrating.
I was missing trapezes! missing binds! keep doing the wrong thing, like I say to myself, okay mach 5 and then start doing the split the atom and stuff.
Was all over the place and now feel a bit meh…
Having a nice glass of wine while uploading videos, so watch out for my next post with all 6 videos one of each for each yoyo for your entertainment
Tomorrow, I will practice pop n fresh, boingy boing and Gerbil a lot more.
Going to hold off on practicing the hook until I get these back to how it was first.
TLDR: feeling very light headed today
And maybe I should stop buying more yoyos and just practice getting better with what I have instead of being greedy
urghhhhhhhh
