Thanks for the kind words everyone! > [@abby1371](#): > > Cool now just saying that’s impossible to be that good in 3 months unless your a really fast learner. If it helps, I did throw back in middle school, learned out of books playing responsive/semi responsive (proyo/freehand/FHZ), was a phase that lasted a couple months. That was over eight years ago though, so I’ve just been counting since I’ve gotten into it back in october. Thanks for taking a look at my video! ---

It’s still a little crazy for me to think that 3 months ago I didnt even know how to bind correctly- I was doing that thing where you just wrap a trapeze/braintwister loop around the gap and pull up. Friend showed me how to plastic whip and bind correctly and now I’m an addict. Thanks for watching! ---

> [@LinksLegionaire](#): > > I think some people are overlooking the fact that he’s Asian… > > Nice vid. Is the Trap worth, what is it, $40? hahah. I think part of it may be that i stopped playing video games, so during that time I throw. And now I can like throw while watching Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, etc etc. Yeah, I’ll copy paste what I wrote on reddit about it: “The trap is pretty nice, plays well, a bit heavy on the string, but some may say “solid.” It’s worth the 30 dollars, but it still has that kinda “cheap” feeling, probably due to the fact that there’s no blast/finish on it, it’s just straight up anno’ed. Regens are a tiny bit difficult on it I’ve noticed, I just learned regens like a week ago, but I’ve noticed its far easier to do a cleaner regen on my raptor or essence than the TRAP, probably due to the shape and/or my lack of skill. It plays at a medium(?) pace I would say, I notice that when using something like my avalanche it is much easier to play faster. It’s pretty darn stable though, nice rim weight, but also has that little center ring to balance it out. And the stock response sucks, it’s the same stuff MagicYoYo uses I believe, I just threw some flowable in there and it’s great now. Thats my mini review haha” Keep in mind I don’t know what I’m doing. And whoa thats cool it automatically changes some choice words.
