I think it would have been absolutely epic if we had been able to get you to do the tutorial specifically for this one as well. Like bonus material. 🤣

Week 3 Tricks

I wanted to do all the tricks this month with the Butterfly, but i had to do the DNA with the El MiJo.

**Varial Bird** definitely doesn’t count. Not only did i not return the yoyo to my hand, but on the **Bird** it was propped up with my thumb. Lame.

Crazy, right!? I thought, surely this will never happen. It plays weird for sure, but it gets easier the more you do it, like everything in yoyo I suppose lol

Nice. Full credit bc I know you know what’s up, but it’s def good to show the bird. I’ve had several folks share they didn’t realize it was on the index and distinct from backhand (which can look so similar but feels so different). High 5
