just got a Meerkat. I’ve been able to do ghost bind for a while now. I remember first seeing the trick trying once then saying it’s impossible. Later to come back and realize it wasn’t actually that hard and I got first try. I don’t really do it that often for whatever reason

Probably gonna grab a Tourney just bc that sold out so fast last time and it’s the last Duncan bimetal I need to collect all the 2019 models

It’s one of those tricks you gotta be careful so you don’t end up with an axle knot

I mean, you could definitely get an axle knot from any bind if you aren’t careful. You just got to git gud at doing them

when you do the simplest of binds and it knots around the axle :expressionless:

Of course if you’re not careful, any kind of trick can get messed up. Its all about practice, and more importantly, practicing it the right way.

That said, binds that operate with just one hand have a higher chance of getting an axle knot if you don’t line up the string properly to the same plane as where you’re yoyo’s catch zone is.

ā€˜Basic’ binds that uses two hands have a lesser chance since you have a non-throw hand holding the string and helping guide it to the catch zone

Just used the code to get a Berserker Max! Pretty nifty!

Like how finding the slope of a secant line is much easier than finding the slope of a tangent line lol

2 Likes

Okay well I’m a dum-dum. I had to google search what a secant and tangent line were.

And I still don’t get it. >.<’
:sweat_smile:

a secant line commonly refers to a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points

the tangent line (or simply tangent ) to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that ā€œjust touchesā€ the curve at that point.

It’s a calculus joke lol (such a nerd)

Basically, to find the slope of a secant line, you only need to use the formula for a slope between the two points
(2nd y value) - (1st y value)


(2nd x value) - (1st x value)

While for a tangent line, you need calculus to determine the derivative of the function. For simple graphs, the power rule will do
x^2 → 2x
While more complex functions give you a headache

I was trying to draw a line from lining up the string with the gap with one point as opposed to 2 lol

(I should really be studying)

p.s. I just realized this second one is probably multivariable calculus, which is what I get to look forward to 1 year from now :tada:

Oh yeah! That all makes perfect sense now!

Now if you’ll excuse me…I have to go find some tylenol for this headache I’ve suddenly developed! :face_with_head_bandage:
