I had the same problem, I just made sure my hands were dry, and I experimented with cupping my hand slightly as well… it’s a tough trick for sure, but I’ve about got it now. ---

I used a glove for my tape measure specifically. I live in Florida its too humid to bother unless I have a yoyo with a finish well suited for grinding. ---

Okay, okay… holding me to a higher standard (than the standard I’m setting for myself, NOT a higher standard than others. Just wanted to clarify) :joy: that felt like it counted to me, but I hear ya, I hear ya. Off to watch the tutorial…. AGAIN 🙄 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ps. This is jokes by the way. I want to actually do the tricks right. ---

Sick dude! My last pink butterfly 🥲 I’m glad to see it getting put to good use, opposed to sitting in the package in a bag being sad :joy: butterflies are meant to flyyy!!! lol I think, for Jerrod’s challenge, you get one entry for one trick and another entry if you do all the tricks. I could be mistaken though. ---

Up to @Slestak75 really. Up to him if it has to be a duncan or just a true imperial shape. That yoyo in oarticukar is an imperial shape imo so its really just a call by the organizer.
