Ah ok I know nothing of red triangles so this will be a lot of new to me. We will see how it goes. I gotta work 10 hour shifts everyday until it ends, so I’ll do my best! ---

I’ve come to the conclusion that online forums are not for me. I have very little free time due to my commitments so Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are enough to contend with. As such this may be my last ever post in this forum guys. Sorry. I won’t delete my account obviously. I just can’t see myself being active here. I haven’t even attempted to learn Jordan’s tricks lol. Fail. It feels too much like hard work when I just want to relax and chill after work. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my own tricks lately. There are lots of elements that I do want to learn but I’m happy to wait until being with Jordan in person to learn them. Well done to everyone who has put in the work to learn these tricks for the prize raffle. Even if you don’t get the prize you’ve still got the knowledge. Good luck! ---

Are you making that slack for the wrist mount by pinching with your pinky and ring finger? Also what time is the cut off tomorrow? I’m in the west coast of the US. ---

You can post on Thursday. I’ll just close it off when I wake up on Friday. As I’m in the UK, that’ll be plenty past midnight for anyone in the US. Yea, I’m pinching the slack with my pinky and ring finger. I let it slip a little when I catch it to get the segments to be the correct size. ---

Trick #1. 😱 TLDR humidity sucks! It got so humid here this evening I almost gave up. My Airetics (regs and slims) didn’t handle it well at all. I ended up having to use Markmont Copi, which is much less whippy, which was really difficult because I have so much trouble with that hook. I tried Dragon first, but that got super sticky too. The tower and bucket never gave me trouble before tonight. But that’s where I had problems with the string sticking. Ugh, not fun. Failing after the hook was soooo frustrating. My hands are raw from damp string sliding over them. Anyway, I didn’t give up, please tell me this is good enough 🙏 [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/e/2/2e28c93ca7ce649537c882c05b84f3288cea8129.jpeg "Sticky, absurd, painful Absurdity #1") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlxB0sOf9ig) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/learn-to-win-absurdity-presented-by-opyoyos-x-yoyoexpert/313246.md?page=10) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/learn-to-win-absurdity-presented-by-opyoyos-x-yoyoexpert/313246.md?page=12)
