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.

Tough call. I guess it depends if you want it challenging.

This is whyā¦
ā3 weeks left on my 2nd year spent throwing a single wooden yo-yo. i know i havenāt 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. thereās no way, really, to communicate either its specific strangeness or whatever lessons itās contained to someone else. absurdly pointless though it may seem to most, itās a way which must be walked.ā @edhaponik
Thanks @Pun1sh3R i hadnāt read this.

My only issue is that Iāll be in Europe for most of July. I was planning on ātravel teamā.

Not really, this is what I brought to nationals.
I was, however, considering the starters.
Who will be my Eur.Yo? Sorry, had to.

I had it in the back of my mind, what if I just brought one? so I think you did.
You guys mightāve saved me a boatload of money! Maybe not, I could still bring a few for glamour shots.
Paris, Leiden, London. Week each.

I have to actively try to throw all my yoyos and even with a conscious effort, somehow Hades finds its way back into my throw hand. I think Iāll be sitting this one out but have fun yāall!

Iām 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 Iāll carry one on me that I donāt mind banging around and then play the shelf queens when I got home.

Wellā¦ Iām in. Iāll throw a No Jive. At least I know Iāve got it in me.
Thanks for reading that blog. Means a lot. Exercises like this arenāt necessarily designed to push oneās skill so much as oneās outlook. I know it sounds a bit like your dad telling you mowing the lawn builds character. I donāt know if this kind of limitation (yoyo asceticism lol?) builds anything. But maybe the things it makes you WONDER: (āwhat do I need? What can I do without?) are useful in terms of your attitude toward yo-yo play.
Hope so anyway.

I think a lesson I can take from this experience will be to cherish what I have more and maybe stop focusing on the next throw. Who knows though. Maybe Iāll relapse

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 didnāt 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 isnāt, but I just donāt have the skills yet to keep a lower power, narrower yoyo up there.
