Alright, I this has been asked before. I studied the advice of past people and those have helped lots. I’ve studied AP division freestyles and those have helped to.
Now, I need to know the proper song length that I should run my yo-yo routine. I’m practicing 4A and 5A now, with little skill but working on both of them majorly but I’m afraid that I won’t have enough material for a 4A or 5A portion and that will waste the whole minute and it’ll hurt me more. Advice please?
You should defenatly want to consider the TYPE of music that you want your audience to hear and try as best you can to “synch.” it with the trick you are doing. If possible, try to keep up with the beat of the song and pay attention to the lyrics :P. Try not to cram too much into your routine and practice before hand (I’m sure that goes without saying). Stay calm, smile, and have a good time. Good Luck!

I did a talent show a few months ago. It’s good to use an intense song that builds up in intenseness ( I used Pinball Wizard, by the who, but that might not fit your style). Save the good stuff for the end (5a and 4a are the most crow pleasing, so do them last). Do tricks that every one can see (eli hops 4 example) and avoid the tricks that the people in the back row might have a hard time seeing whats going on (like suicides , and gyroscopic flops). Hope this helps!
