Here are the main 5 for this week!

Windshield wipe(R)
Double or nothing chopsticks
Varial
Reverse stall
Tape measure

Using my OGOM hand made and infused with magic (or so he calls it) by Jon gates himself. Getting to watch him make these and see how he does it is somethibg special.

I’ll post the guest trick later when I get it :slight_smile: thanks boomers for putting this on! It’s been a fun February, can’t wait for March!

It’s the stock bearing with thick grease inside. I actually have an easier time using a responsive bearing for most of my tricks than I do with an actual fixed-axle. For instance, I had a hell of a time trying to land this combo on a fixed-axle this morning… but it was still fun to try.

Hades is only 80g and I do play it responsive hah! Every time I do maintenance and lube the bearings it goes responsive for like and hour or two.

I was a bit bored this Friday, so I put a little extra effort into the video. Tried to soundtrack it with my tongue drum, and managed to hit everything with an imperial shape (though it is an authentic pro yo-yo, as it says on the outside of it, so that helped haha). Got all 5… gonna try the Iceberg stall with a different yoyo of course haha

Yo imma share this here! I already won one of the giveaways ( :hugs: ) and therefore cannot win this week but I was happy with this combo! I learned the rest of the tricks this week also but don’t feel like putting them into a video. This windshield wiper trick is cool though! I like the utility of it.

Here’s the guest trick!
It’s not balanced on my flat hand, and that’s OK, because that’s it lol, too many hours, too many drops, balance tricks are difficult for me, and broke my butterfly (good thing I have that Duncan bag on the way)
