I’ve recently made it a plan to start uploading trick clip dumps to youtube. I want my trickset to become a lot more complex and interesting this year, and I want to devote more time to other styles, so I’ve been playing a lot of 5A and möbius recently. The more complex I can get my 1A, I feel like the more interesting ideas I can try to bring into/expand upon with 5A/möbius. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/c/9/0c90bcef0a6e7a19dfa6cef57eacea2e94365daf.jpeg "Sheep Trick Archive #2") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRXnGt8s5_I) I’ve also been painting a lot more this year, I’ve put out one “finished” painting each day this year. So far I’m 72 for 72. Some recent ones I’ve liked, all are ~3"x6". It’s never good to just have one singular hobby/skill imo, being well versed in multiple things helps you mentally keep everything fresh while feeding you new ideas and perspectives. Practicing art more has definitely helped me progress in yoyo and understand more what I’m looking to accomplish with yoyo. ![IMG_9192](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/1/e/91e24221394eb0399bd53d677a1c887e758e9907.jpeg) ---

Big into working on my tech combo in anticipation of the PNWR. I know I’m not going to get far seeing as how that will mark like my 4th month of yoyoing but I’m going there to learn and meet some of the people on here.
