[[Album] Regens vs Zines ![](https:?fb "Regens vs Zines") ](https://imgur.com/a/WfSrSbl) For me is this. Regens are soft, Zines are kinda violent. It’s the sudden redirection of the yoyo. I can’t do them that well, but @GnarlyCharlie does them super nice. I saw a video of him doing the Zines and them was some proper zines. I’ll try to find it. ---

When exiting the trapeze the yoyo comes up between the hands, drawing an upside down 2. You’ll know you’ve got it when you feel the snap it makes as it changes direction. I had trouble with hitting the repeats on this trick last year.

I’m not sure if I missed it, but I don’t see a Trapeze Regen trick listed. I’m just taking shots in the dark since I’d need to see the trick, but maybe its one of the following: - Just one single regeneration back to trapeze stall. - The regeneration off of trapeze back to the hand instead of the planet hop (and not to another trapeze) - A trapeze where the yoyo DOES NOT stall on the trapeze and you regenerate it back to another trapeze. So basically the same as Zines but no stall. Those are my best guesses. I dont think how hard you do the trick is the difference. I do zines both slow and fast depending on my mood, I’d still say the are zines tho. ---

Tricks and their names are 100% open to your interpretation 😃 In my mind regens and zines are both an element and do not have to be thrown off of a trapeze, or trapeze stall. Although this is surely the most common way to do them. My claim that zines are more violent is kinda wrong 😃 Charlies zines are proper **AND** he makes them smooth. It is my skill issue that my zines have such a violent **jolt** to them. I think. ---

Oh yeah for sure. I was just trying to figure it out too. I definitely started with violent zines but im smoother now. Took me a while to get it all gentle. Im still not as gentle as charlie though, dude could play yoyo with an easter egg. ---
