Week 3 entry - here’s a fun combo plus some dump trucks. 1 ticket please

Didn’t get to learn the backhand stall (no intention of losing my counterweight), and my kickflips stopngo and backhand dumps are unreliable. The big finish in the combo is too big for me for now.

But I did finish my new yoyo in time for next week and sold a bunch of old throws to acquire a copper Theodore from @GTDropKnot

I can’t win any more but I figured I’d still participate. Plus you all get to see my loud fancy pajama pants, since I totally wasn’t filming this at midnight.

It’s been a long work week here’s my only trick I know I know. I worked on kick flips but can’t get my finger in place in time and dump trucks I just seem to never get when I turn the camera on so here we are.

Oof. They’re not pretty, but I got ‘em! 4 tricks for 2 entries please!

That lunar catch eluded be until tonight. Was super satisfying to finally land!

Edited to mention the yo-yos. Stop’n’Go was a plastic Butterfly, the Kickflip was an old wooden BC Blackbird, and the other two were done using a Butterfly AL with a glued-solid bearing. :grin:

I actually thought that’s what I saw…but I told myself the black and white was playing tricks on me and it’s just the way the light was reflecting on a regular Butterfly. Good to know I’m not completely gone yet…I’ll bet that AL does pretty darn good actually.

The weight seems to help me with some tricks. It definitely helped me land that lunar catch in the eleventh hour!
