Hey, so I do have a combo, but I dont like the ending… I do like three flips and drop a finger and that sets me up for a bind. But I dont know what else to do! Its a random string configuration, it looks like, it isn’t, but kinda looks like a backwards 1.5 mount… What do you do in these situations? ---

Get into a mount. Then do something you haven’t done from that mount before and see if that gets you somewhere… 1/2 mount is a great place to start 🙂 ---

Try to make knots. The things that become knots and get undone is a flowlike manner, are your new tricks. ---

I like yyf, and Ben. And I made this picture 1+ years ago (before I knew anything about yoyo teams and whatnot). Plus I’ve only seen that picture one other time, and I forgot I had until now. And do they even resemble each other? ---

Maybe you can pick one specific trick element, like chopsticks, and try and make a combo centered around chopstick mounts, boings, and dismounts.
