If you were watching it in frame instead of popping into it’s own window it’s possible that Discourse chose to refresh your page for some last minute edits. I’m done with edits now so it should be smooth sailing :grin:

I feel quite certain I won’t be getting any of these this week… at present it’s sheer luck for me to land one trapeze/under mount stall, let alone stringing a few together🤣 This works for me though, now I don’t have to withdraw from this weeks drawing…because I WILL be buying myself one of those Metal Harbingers this evening. I’d rather see those prizes get into the hands of someone else.
There continue to be new faces every week and I’d like to extend my own welcome to all who have joined us. To have young ones joining in too is just so fabulous. Keep ‘‘em coming everybody.

Heads up that the “add the sponsor image” link in the post and youtube description goes to a png in someone’s trash so it’s not usable.

Ah it must be linked to the old one. You can just save the image posted above it to use.

I thought I fixed that…. Every time I try to kill the old logo it comes back. I’ll get it fixed

Keep at it! I remember being in that stage and feeing like it was never gonna happen. And then, after throwing what felt like hundreds of failed trapeze attempts, one day it just clicked and they felt totally natural. I actually cheered and ran into the other room to tell my fam like a small child. :laughing:

It took me why more attempts than I’d like to admit to learn Donut Trucks consistently.

Please see below for my Wk2 submission.
All three tricks; and even though I knew they were flipping, I had to slow the video down to make sure they were on Donut Trucks, haha, and they’re there, but much harder to tell when each side looks the same.
Bonus trick at the end. :slight_smile:
