Pretty nifty, although the first part of TM is an Invisible Suicide “through” the segment in the throw hand wrap. The instant it hits you let it go and catch w the backwards free hand. That was a pretty nifty reverse hand suicide catch though.

I think we’d all like to know which tricks you gave up on as too hard

Double Stacks are super fun too, you can exit straight into a sideways trick like Air Raid, use it as a little pedestal for flatground fingerboard stuff, probably a whole list of kendama tricks too.

I’ve been slowly picking away at tricks and finally threw what I’ve managed together. I’ve had a super busy February so I didn’t get a chance to be as involved on here as I would have liked. I’ve gotta say though, everyone’s killing it this year! Some of you make it look so smooth and simple. :open_mouth:

Tricks I completed

Trick list:  
Sidewinder  
Trapeze Stall  
Makin’ Da Zines  
Tape Measure  
Trapeze Stall - Brother Stall - Double Or Nothing Stall  
Zipper Stalls  
Split Bottom Stall  
GT Stall  
Varial  
Kickflip

Jerrod’s Masterclass:  
Banana Slide  
Ghost Trap - My ghost did kinda get trapped at the end! I swear the dismount is the trickiest part, I’ve gotta work on that flick at the end.

Dazzling Dave Series:  
Inside Loops  
Outside Loops  
Inside/ Outside

Imperial Trapeze Stall

I love seeing people make it look easy. You completed the Imperial Challenge and; as long as you are not outside the US, you have won the right to choose one of these remaining counterweights as your prize. What say you?? 😃

Here’s a better look at the Proyos I’m throwing and the red pair you could win
