So true, wish more people jumped in. Do you think itās because the tricks picked are usually more common and already known by the majority on here? Iāve always wondered if maybe there were different options of tricks each week, like 2-3 tuts varying on difficulty, maybe more would feel inclined to participate. Idk though I just want more people in on it haha, Iām guilty of not posting more frequently in there myself

Usually for me I just know the trick already, or never have enough time to get it down in a week. I try to learn them all though

Yeah I figured itās mostly because a lot know the tricks already, but I get it and I know itās easier said than done like there are only so many tutorials and accounts online doing yoyo stuff. And trying to accommodate everyone and their skill levels always comes into play, thatās why Iām wondering if maybe at least two different tuts a week (one easier one harder) might be something to try sometime. Or if that would just make things all jumbled and complicated

I just need to invent a way to land everything on the first try for video.

iād try perfecting both and iād feel bad if i couldnāt, i honestly think one moderately hard trick a week is pretty solid, especially if the people that learned it can discuss different variations or techniques or something

For me personally, I tried to follow along but then I missed a week, then another, and now weāre here, weeks into the year and I did like 7 of them. I canāt speak for others, but I think for me, I need to carve out an hour from my day to sit down and devote it to the TaW thread. It kinda just isnāt at the top of my priorities list, so I often donāt make time for it, and then somehow the week has already passed.
I think that thereās definitely things you could try to do to incentivise more activity in the thread, but itās tough when everyone has their own schedule in life. On top of that, everyone has their own goals within yoyo, some people here donāt throw any unresponsive at all - so theyāre obviously not going to post in the TaW threads. Then if you do things like 5A tricks, its hard to know where the general population of the forums is at to initiate which difficulty of trick to have people try (I think mable did a great job at this, by offering two different difficulties with 5A last time).
You might be able to post like, a more difficult trick for the month, then easier tricks during the weeks. But I sincerely donāt think adding more tricks is the solution.
I think that the only way to get more people to post is to be the change, and post there. Thatās my plan at least, I gotta start posting there more.

I guess version parity is pretty hard to achieve, even in a social media group. Shows what I know about coding, I guessā¦
Definitely agree with this too and gonna try to post more and be active there.

Re: TaW thread ā I just wanna say shoutout to all ppl who have been participating and no problem if anyone doesnāt want too or is too busy! There have been some new faces coming in and that is super sick! I know both mable and I have said this before but if anyone has any feedback at all about the thread or has a trick they would like to learn, shoot us a message!

I love the thread and you are a total boss for stepping up to help with it. Love when people come together 
Sometimes I just donāt have time to do them or otherwise donāt get around to it but Iāll keep submitting mine when I get them! Honestly a lot of tricks I know are from the various trick a weeks. I use it as a repository of cool tricks to learn and just go look at them whenever I need a new one! I should do the ones I know but didnāt submit. Maybe I can jam some into a combo.

I have really liked the attempts to keep the thread active outside of Thursday/ Friday. I feel like often the trick is posted, then itās silent until the week is ending and people post their versions.
The gentry week in particular I think had more activity throughout and that felt like it helped. Part of that is the sweet spot of difficulty (I think black hops is another pretty good example of being around that spot).
I do like the idea of something harder (and/or longer?) for a month. Seems like neat structure, though it might also need to have regular difficulty the same week?

For me some weeks Iām already tied up in other tricks Iām already in the middle of. I usually try and go back and learn each of the trick of the weeks that I can. Some I just havenāt recorded after the fact since itās been so long and some others I just think well the weeks gone might as well just keep smoothing it out til itās solid. I try to participate in the thread about each trick. This week with black hops Iām glad Henry picked it because it finally forced me to keep working on it where in the past Iād just try it one or two times here and there. I think after this week I will finally be proficient-ish at black hops.
