First question I need to answer is do I go 0a or 5a. I juuuuust started attempting 5a last week, so Id probably benefit from focusing on it. ---

This is whyā€¦ ā€œ3 weeks left on my 2nd year spent throwing a single wooden yo-yo. i know i havenā€™t updated this blog as i intended. life intervenes. i assuage my guilt by reflecting that really whatever i say here is meaningless to anyone else. this whole experience is a meditation. thereā€™s no way, really, to communicate either its specific strangeness or whatever lessons itā€™s contained to someone else. absurdly pointless though it may seem to most, itā€™s a way which must be walked.ā€œ @edhaponik Thanks @Pun1sh3R i hadnā€™t read this. ---

Iā€™m taking into consideration my travel plans for the month too. I have a camping trip, a music festival, hikes, bonfires, beach days etc lined up. Also it has to be a good EDC, usually Iā€™ll carry one on me that I donā€™t mind banging around and then play the shelf queens when I got home. ---

Wellā€¦ Iā€™m in. Iā€™ll throw a No Jive. At least I know Iā€™ve got it in me. Thanks for reading that blog. Means a lot. Exercises like this arenā€™t necessarily designed to push oneā€™s skill so much as oneā€™s outlook. I know it sounds a bit like your dad telling you mowing the lawn builds character. I donā€™t know if this kind of limitation (yoyo asceticism lol?) builds anything. But maybe the things it makes you WONDER: (ā€œwhat do I need? What can I do without?) are useful in terms of your attitude toward yo-yo play. Hope so anyway. šŸ™šŸ¼ ---

I think I might get in on this one. I will go at it blind though. I ordered a gen2 54 tonight. It may arrive a few days after the 1st but I will make up any days on tha back end. I am a little concerned about the width because its not going to be very pocket friendly. ---

I have already started with the No Jive. I didnā€™t realize how rusty I had become with a wooden throw, even one as advanced as the No Jive. Off the cuff, I tried to demo some simple tricks with it to my two grandsons. I need practice. This is going to be a challenge for me. Good deal! ---

I am feeling like learning zontals lately and my GTR-JS is my best horizontal player so I think I am actually gonna have the best chance of not-failing the challenge on it. I tried learning a little on my Ashigaru but it was way way harder. I can get something going on the GTR but it felt almost impossible on the Ashigaru. I know it isnā€™t, but I just donā€™t have the skills yet to keep a lower power, narrower yoyo up there.
