Thank you for noticing 😀. But I changed the setup to butterfly profile to hit STM 3 times and it has been in the same setup since then. I read somewhere that playing the yoyo in the butterfly setup is similar to using training wheels. I got the point when I made the switch. Is it recommended to change the setup of the No Jive frequently? I don’t want to induce any wear and tear to the axle system. ---

My biggest tip is to really open up the loop on your trapeze.i think it reduces friction at the axle and response area a bit so you get less surprise response. ---

Pardon my sloppiness and sloppy hair, shoot the moon kicked my butt and you could tell by the look on my face. It took me probably over a hundred tries, but I finally got it during a lunch break. Sorry the lighting is terrible, but it’s all I got! I hit the tricks, though! If this week was this tough, I’m hoping I can manage next week’s tricks!
