One July Conclusion: I set out with the goal of learning a new trick every day with my G2 beater banshee, and while I didn’t quite achieve that goal, I did learn a ton of new tricks (~37 new tricks in total) Here’s the video I took at the beginning of the month: [https://streamable.com/tuk65f](https://streamable.com/tuk65f) These are all the tricks I learned: Day 1: One handed grind bind Day 2: Bind Interception and toss over (original 5a trick) Day 3: Tower Stall (5a) Day 4: The Dorito Day 5: Prayer Catch (5a) and Keymaker Whip Day 6: “Easy speed yoyo trick for noobs” Day 7: Slingshot GT **Day 8:** Chopsticks tower, Chopsticks to double or nothing, Jump rope type bind, Kamikaze mount, pulldown bind (5a), The DNA, Heart slack Day 9: Kamikaze Day 10: Slap Bind Day 11: Underwater Basket Weaving Day 12: Ghost Bind Day 13: Green Revolution Day 14: Chuck Norris’s Beard Day 15: Electric Triangle Day 16: Basic slack bind **Day 17:** N/A Day 18: Seismic slam Day 19: Grind through a triangle, Reverse Brent Stole Day 20: Leg Wrap Trap, Zach Gormley Neck trick Day 21: Star to tower picture trick Day 22: 3D gyro flop, Vertical Laceration bind, Arm stall bind Day 23: Underwater Basket Weaving Variation Day 24: Kamikaze 2 Day 25: N/A Day 26: Yuuki Slack Day 27: N/A Day 28: N/A Day 29: Slap Whip Day 30: String bounce whip Day 31: Freestyle combo Today I combined all my favorite tricks that I learned this month into a short 30 second freestyle combo. It took a lot of attempts to get this video just right. Enjoy: [https://streamable.com/nfc64s](https://streamable.com/nfc64s) The combo is: The end of seismic slam, into chuck Norris’s beard, into an underwater basket weaving variation, into green revolutions, into the slap bind. Thank you to everyone who helped host the event and those who encouraged me to keep learning tricks even when I failed. This month has been awesome, and I can’t wait to see what we do next! ---

From these could only be 1July… ![IMG_2302](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/f/1/af1e843f4092a8ddbb770167c7f09d5010bced72.jpeg) and Its almost a wrap… I will say that I had somewhat of an advantage as I was in Europe for 3 of the 4 weeks. That said, it was a bit difficult to take just one throw but that was the challenge at hand. I chose the unreleased Alchemik Helsing. (Tyrant big brother C-Bearing and a banger!) (edit: I took 6 yoyos. 1x Helsing, 4x WHiP for giveaways, 1x Silenus in case of lose or catastrophe) ![IMG_2892](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/c/b/7cb90e38963ddd5dc17f4671ff83b23ce90f8303.jpeg) I quite enjoyed playing just one throughout the month. It offered a lot of time to really get familiar with the play. My binds are CRISPY at this point and regens are getting fairly refined. I did have one dream where I sat on Helsing and collapsed the rim. I woke in a panic! lol. A couple of days into the trip I decided that I wasn’t going to learn any new tricks. I would be set on just polishing what I already know. I actually ended up playing a TON of front style and knocked out some pretty cool brain twister action. First spot was Paris. Words cant explain the history and beauty. I really had no idea so if you get the chance I highly recommend a visit. This was the balcony that awaited every morning. ![IMG_2788](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/6/3/663a49fe84619ff58119324d4f568d06a6bd3124.jpeg) ![IMG_2329](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/d/5/ad54e5b39359f613665d3af92ff9490138876d3a.jpeg) ![IMG_2383](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/2/a72dee125f4ef79907764ded9546224bea6c3d9f.jpeg) ![Josh at Eiffel Tour](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/4/9/c4903b22fa42467148d6031efcc460a4eccc74ef.jpeg) Second spot was Leiden, Netherlands. We stayed with friends and lived the local life. Riding bikes and yoyoing around town was very special. My apprentice Peter pulled off his very first bind! Full disclaimer: Before I realized it, I was throwing the WHiP to help Peter recall the proper throw. It had been a few years since we last practiced and his technique needed help. I was so excited, he was so excited, I totally lost track on 1July. I wasn’t too worried and got right back on track. ![IMG_2975](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/3/9/e39aa270424ec4381a4f922387822c1452788d3b.jpeg) Last stop was London. These are a few shots from the Cotswolds. ![IMG_2977](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/d/b/edbd8a741f1aaad16a2a4e355cdde84c075dc6ad.jpeg) ![IMG_2991](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/a/b/cabf187e5d6ac0d952ce5a5861f87c3eca796104.jpeg) Tomorrow morning, first thing, I will be stringing these up with great anticipation. I’m SO excited for Canopy AL! I picked up Otter (BST) while in Europe. ![IMG_3203](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/8/9/e899bccd3a2d6bed452331d58f23a04907397e30.jpeg) Thanks for the cool challenge! ---
