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:
The combo is: The end of seismic slam, into chuck Norrisâs 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 canât wait to see what we do next!

So apparently @Glenacius_K is a Saint from the yoyo gods!
I DO get to throw something else tomorrow! Not isolated to ONE for the next month.
Ironic? Coincidence? That I threw a SW Red Blood Cell for the Month and my savior is a SW Dead 'Orse.

From these could only be 1JulyâŚ
and Its almost a wrapâŚ
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)
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 wasnât 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.
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 wasnât too worried and got right back on track.
Last stop was London. These are a few shots from the Cotswolds.
Tomorrow morning, first thing, I will be stringing these up with great anticipation. Iâm SO excited for Canopy AL! I picked up Otter (BST) while in Europe.
Thanks for the cool challenge!
