Why do you hate figure 8s?
With my back and neck… and shoulder… Maybe easier to list what’s not bleeped up… I don’t like doing them either. Doing it anyway. But probably going to get stuck on the hook. I can do it, just not consistently enough to have a good chance of completing the trick cleanly.
Perfect!
It’s partially that I can’t seem to fully figure them out.
But it’s also that it’s not really a good trick IMO. Not visually interesting, the motion is awkward and unnatural, and you’re just spinning the yo-yo around like a more complex around the world.
Agreed mostly, but I like it in the first trick here. Only use of figure 8 I’ve liked. It flows nicely into the 1.5 underpass element.
I played with it a lot before my neck problems got worse and I had to stop yoyoing (in some ways I’m still catching back up to where I was over a year ago), but I haven’t done it since because it always felt so clumsy.
I’m not a fan of figure 8s either and I like the first trick too. I do it every time I practice now. You should bang out the second trick first if you’re still struggling with the first. It is a whole lot easier IMO.
Nevermind sorry about that
Perfect. I’d give you extra points for how dapper you look if I could too!
I learnt all 3. Do they need to be separate replies on this thread or can I just make one instagram post with all 3 and have it count as my 3 entries?(Also if someone knows what/who to tag on instagram that would be great!)
Nicely done. All 3 in a single post is fine and no tags required. Just post them here.
My 3:

Lemme know if I did them correctly!
Amazing! You even got the bind for number 2!

Counting all 3. Well done!
Well I’m definitely not going to make it.
I’ve been yoyoing longer than most of these posters have been alive, but I feel a bit like a noob/dunce! To be fair, balancing running a start up; while maintaining my needed previous income stream, keeping my musical chops up, and raising a family, doesn’t leave me too much time to concentrate on this one contest. Still…
I did learn Figure 8s though!
Here are my three entries. Let me know if I need to refilm any of them.

No shame in that. Family comes first, always. Maybe you can come back to it once you’re a successful bajillionaire with your startup!
Perfection!
