The drama! The pageantry! The unmitigated grit!  
These guys are bleeding and bruising for the glory of yo!

The 10th Round pitted our competitors against a a burly stall-combo, making them feel the gut-wrenching agony of late-trick misses and giving them front row seats to the ever-present grudge-match between belief and doubt. Adam was eliminated (certainly due in part to his travel situation), but he’s been a pro about it, as ever. Someone and Logi battled through, and so a new round awaits… and we go HEAD-TO-HEAD for Round 11:

Throw Trapeze and pull up into a Stop-n-Go. Perform a Stop-n-Pop into a Brother Stall. Kickflip into another Brother Stall, then Kickflip again into reverse Trapeze Stall (throw-hand underneath). Regen into a Lunar Trapeze Stall before regenerating again into a Shoot the Moon on the throw-hand side.

Vids are due by 7:30p EST on Saturday 5/23.

Every time I messed up I unraveled the string and did a snap start to trapeze stall. I think it is permanently embedded in my brain now.

FINALLY I BEAT SOMEONE TO POSTING.

Hey Ed, on the Stop-n-pop, how do you restart that sucker without literally sawing your non-throw hand index finger off with the string? Every time I try this it BURNS!!!. I feel like I have to pull pretty hard to generate rotation. Am I missing something?

a callous of steel? i don’t know. the stop-n-go loop kind of protects it. there are some tricks we haven’t gotten to yet that are way worse string-burn chainsaws than that one. i think maybe the product of countless eli-hops and knuckle-smashes have deadened the nerves there?

LOL… I hear ya… I guess its grin and bear it then… I made another throw last night on the lathe - This time I got it to 58gm with White oak. It’s got great spin time… I’m closing in on Spirit Bomb now… It’ll hang long enough to get through it I think.

I’m a couple of weeks behind but am going to work through all these tricks on my own. Thanks for doing this.
