Aside from @DocPop’s playlist and a few Rain City videos, I can’t seem to find much. Does anyone have some sweet tutorials or videos to check out for 0.5A tricks and tips?

Great Question.
I am working the ones you mentioned on my 0.5A endeavor. But if some one has other, I am watching this thread.
Was looking through this thread during Fixed Axel February. Could inspire something new for you.
Have fun.

I get inspo from @DocPop’s insta but haven’t really found another great source of tutorials.
There’s a ton of unresponsive 5A content and a lot of it is helpful for responsive 5A even if some tricks wouldn’t translate. I like Miguel Correa’s and Josh Yee’s unresponsive 5A tutorials. Here’s a playlist for Miguel Correa’s level 1 tutorials and a link to Josh Yee’s first 5A essentials because I can’t find a premade playlist:
Thanks @Pun1sh3R and @TryCatchThrow. Maybe, while this style of playing is still relatively young, the key is to learn from 0A and 5A tutorials separately. Looking for opportunities to release the counterweight when learning 0A and finding opportunities for stalls in 5A. Hopefully if I do this enough, tricks will emerge.

@jakebullock was doing Stalls and 5A during his 2006 Worlds Routine staring a 1:50.The Style Its still rather open though to trick exploration, all tutorials do is give ideas and building blocks, but its up to individual players to play and that’s the Best Trick.

If you dig through Drew Tetz’s videos (especially around 2013-2014), you’ll may find some responsive counterweight bangers. Here are a few:

Those tutorials by Miguel Correa are the best style of teaching tricks I‘ve ever seen. Exactly as detailed as needed without repeating the same parts several times and the visual aid makes everything so much more plausible and understandable.

Happy 5A May. Here’s a simple repeater to kick it off. I call this MRF Backflips, but it’s just a single Planet Hop to a Counterweight Flip. I’m using it to work on my one handed counterweight movement.

Good morning!
Yesterday I did what was essentially a one handed, front style version of this repeater. This works the toss under hop in both hands. This move is super useful in connecting tricks in MRF.

This is a modern responsive freehand Makin Da Zines. It’s a good way to practice the toss over, which is a foundational move in the style.
On a new as of yet unnamed half spec C bearing throw.

This is a pretty basic repeater. I normally do an aerial on the bro side (which I’ll demo soon). I developed this version for when it would be inconvenient to drop the yoyo, for example when my kids are asleep.
Today was also apparently the day I could film Iceberg Stalls 'Zines.
