Have you ever been learning a trick, starting to get it down and then completely out of nowhere forget how to do it and basically have to start over as if you know nothing? Just happened to me learning a whip to tower and I’m being frustrated lol. Ever happen to anyone else? ---

Sometimes I’ll forget an element of a trick. Like, my mind goes blank and my muscles just don’t know what to do. ---

Similarly, last month I heard of a trick that I swore I’d heard of before. So I thought I should learn it. Short story shorter, I relearned Kwyjibo as if it were new even though I put it in combos all day, every day… ---

It’s so frustrating. I could hit it every 2-3 times until 8pm last night and now I don’t even know what a yo-yo is ---

100% yes! i sometimes blank all of a sudden on what mount I’m supposed to start in. other times ill remember it up to a point and then absolutely blank on the rest. ive learned kamikaze 3 times and forgot it twice (so far 🤞🤞) and whenever i decide to play, i forget half of the tricks i know even exist. i throw a handfull of tricks and combos and feel like I’ve thrown everything i know like 3 times…until i stop playing and all of a sudden i start going oh i forgot about this trick and that trick, etc. very glad to know it’s not just me ---
