I’ll put out to you a reminder that there is more to gain than satisfaction from accomplishing that landing. Don’t give up, get your chance at winning this beauty. You are closer than most of us could even dream to that opportunity. Stick with it!!! You can do it!!!

Like The Waddler said, it wasn’t much fun to me either :smiley: I succesfully landed each element separately, so i learned a lot during this. I never went into this because the chance to win something, but for the chance of learning new concepts and maybe to get recognised by the community :smiley: I wanted to do this because i wanted to do all of them, but i ran out of time. Yeah and i’m sure i can come up with more excuses :smiley:

You didn’t run out of time. You still have 3-4 days left depending on your time zone.

I’m sure the Kasm helped a lot when it came to getting knots out.

Oh for sure! :rofl: That’s why I switched from the Gnomad, I definitely got a few because of the GT in there!

Yeah tbh I feel like I’ve wasted my Sunday grinding this trick, but in reality I was only going to sit and play video games anyway :rofl:

In my capacity as official Cheerleader I’d like to say that the participation so far has been outstanding. It’s obvious that people of all skill levels are trying their hand and some have even said these are the first stalls they’ve ever thrown. The first week isn’t even over yet so I know there are many more entries to come. I sure hope everyone is having a good time. I know that stalls are my bitter enemy…I mean…YAAAAAYYYYY!!!

Yo so how strict are the rules? If I hit all the flips in mysto set and drop the string off of th to resolve back into the trapeze late like after the Yoyo lands, does that still count? Also, am I allowed to do extra regens at the end of mysto set after getting back to the trapeze?

@DCorella has posted about it in one of the other threads, and I might have posted something about it.

Threaded stainless steel spacer, external screws (keeps cost down compared to machining a precision bearing seat/threaded axle post), and custom flowed response grooves.
