With so many 1A competitors, I understand if people would be against having people post their 1A routine (I personally think that’d be cool but that’s me, maybe others agree). With that said, I was the only one to switch twice during my prelim routine. It left me feeling like I didn’t showcase what I had put together that yo-yoers might enjoy. In releasing this I hope it pushes me forward to become a better yo-yoer. Anyways if you’re not a fan then thank you for the 1-minute of your time. Thanks for watching.

So many iron whips! Such a fun trick Basketweaving slack to kamikaze mount happens a lot in this routine, I think if you threw in a variation from that mount rather than just dismounting I think you’ll have a lot more to work with 🙂 Great nonetheless! ---

Looks good to me! The music was a nice surprise. ---

I’m glad you think so and honoured to hear! Yes there are a lot of whip to 1.5, but they are actually all different entries, where _I think_ each would have its own click. If it is arriving at the same mount in the end, would the judges consider it the same? I would think each one is its own click as they’re differently wrapped on the entry etc. Yes I do need to go deeper into the trick/mount after a whip or slack. I’m using longer strings to try to help me get more complex… > [@Niekro](#): > > Looks good to me! The music was a nice surprise. Cheers, thanks a lot. Yeah I figured at least the audience might like the music. I’m trying to get faster too and the music kind of forces you to. > [@TheThrowingGnome](#): > > Love the tiny whip at :40! Props for getting on stage! Yeah long string makes it possible lol Great to get positive feedback from great throwers I’ve seen in a video or two on here. ---

Hey, I still enjoyed tuning in to see you live on stage, even with the switches! Also, big props on putting in the extra effort to edit together a clean version. I think my favorite trick is the double-loop iron whip. :open_mouth: So small! ---

Looks good, thanks for uploading! I think fast music will help you be faster, but personally I felt like the routine would benefit from something with a slower beat. Maybe something that could correlate with the landing of the many whips? Just a thought, this is the first year I’ve even really kept up with Nats and Worlds, so I know next to nothing. ---

@Damb I just put together your face and username right now, some great slacks to mounts (different ones) you have in a few of your videos, nice! > [@MarkD](#): > > Hey, I still enjoyed tuning in to see you live on stage, even with the switches! Also, big props on putting in the extra effort to edit together a clean version. I think my favorite trick is the double-loop iron whip. :open_mouth: So small! Wow thanks a lot Mark! I appreciate it. I’ve seen your great tricks and the slo-mo Andrew Bergen rejection you uploaded recently to your Youtube channel (Mark Diehr) is nuts 😅 also it’s actually a triple iron whip, made easier with a long string and a 53 mm diameter yo-yo lol. > [@Legyoyo](#): > > Looks good, thanks for uploading! I think fast music will help you be faster, but personally I felt like the routine would benefit from something with a slower beat. I agree, I usually yo-yo and do these tricks at a much slower rate. I’ve had people who don’t yo-yo recommend something similar, they recommended hip-hop but if I were to go that route I’d go Jungle or Trip-Hop or OG Dubstep.
