I’m not a judge for this or anything but generally a yoyo trick is performed and ends with the yoyo returned to hand and ready for the next throw. In this case the “trick” is a trapeze stall so anything outside of that is your call as long as it’s returned properly. That’s my take anyway. ---

I just now saw the complete list for the month and have a few questions. 1- when can bonus tricks be entered? 2- is it acceptable to utilize clips we’ve made before February? Thanks! ---

Nice! Your string is super short, It might help learning to lengthen it a bit. Not as long as you would use for 1A, but a little longer than you have it. Most fixie tricks are easier done with a gentler throw than 1A as well, giving more time to line up the catch. ---

Bonus tricks can be posted any time. However, they must be filmed within this month. ---

It does need to come back to the hand to complete the trick. Good luck and keep pushing onward! ---

The melting poly is a largely debunked myth. Use what you got! It will change response, so be prepared, but not necessarily for the worse. ---
