Having a fun day filming my tricks for week 3.
Using an assortment of my best fixed axle yoyos.
Landed stop and go, and the backhand balance.
Still need the Dumptrucks and kick flip on film.

Here are my 4 tricks for week 3!

Stop n’ go
Dump trucks
Kickflip
Backhand balance to lunar stall
Using OGOM from Jon gates and glass from lkglass

As you can see from my expression on that balance to lunar stall I was stoked because I had just guve up and said one more time, this is it, was totally detracted hy Jon gates whipping me with yoyo string and LK and Cisco arguing about one drop.
I landed it, and didn’t even notice that I did because I expected it to fall. Multiple days and many 30 minute videos of trying it later and i have it!

My submission for Week 3. All tricks + bonus trick.

The bonus trick was a real fun challenge. I messed up the final return a bit, but I’m too tired and sweaty to try to land it again :sweat_smile:. See you all next week!

Thank you! That’s fair but it’s got to be said that there’s some quality yoyoing taking place this February. Always something new to learn and something to improve. Time to take a look at tackling the guest trick!

I agree with you there. Stop n Go is all I’ll be getting this week. So if someone is hitting these tricks at all, they’re amazing to me. There are are some though that have so much flair and just make this style look so amazing. I make myself look physically challenged when attempting this style. With all that said…you looked great to me!!:grin:

For the backhand balance>lunar landing: does the yoyo need to be perfectly upright on your hand? It took me a while, but i finally got it. However, the yoyo was kinda balancing sideways on my hand so I didn’t know if this counted. I thought it would because the harder part of the trick and what the trick seems to be more focused on (because otherwise the trick would just be backhand balance) is the hop off of it to lunar landing. I didn’t know if this counted and I wanted to check before submitting it.

This is one of those instances, I feel, where if you’ve landed it on the back of your hand…the exact orientation isn’t going to be nitpicked. Very similar questions about other tricks have come up, and this seems to be the continuing answer. Post away!!

As long as you get it onto the back of your hand standing up and pop it off into a Lunar catch, then that is good! Doesn’t matter if the yoyo is slightly tilted on the back of your hand, just so long as it’s not fat on its side. However, that would probably be even harder to land in a Lunar.

It was on its side though…

This was last week’s secret trick. I found out last minute and managed to film it in time :joy:

Gotcha. That could be an issue. :grin:
It’s only Monday though.

My #YYBC FAF2024 week 3.
The Dumptrucks took forever. I had the rest a couple of days ago, i had landed many single Dumptrucks, but spent a lot of time getting two in a row.

It was published on February 16. I thought it could be posted in any thread. In general, I didn’t understand where to post this, but the trick really impressed me.

It’s surprising how hard it can be to repeat that trick. I can almost always do two, but somehow the third is always tough for me.

The secret trick really doesn’t have any prize or anything. Just an extra trick we didn’t use done by Ed that I wanted to quietly leak. It was unlisted with a link hidden in the YYBC linktree on the start of the second week but I published it just cause I think It’s cool And worth learning and it’s Ed man…

With that said post it where you like I’m excited to see folks do cool stuff. We have a few other (bonus tricks) we may not use for MRM that will just appear for folks to try.
