Nope!

So please send us some and we might feature it 🙂

But I do already have one in mind for my next pick 😁

They can pick whatever they want, and I like your tutorials. So that’d be cool.

Sick. Let me list a couple of tutorials that I think would be benefitial for you right now:

- Hop Tower: This one is for those that just learned Kwijibo.

- Triangle from Nowhere: This one is a little bit harder but still very simple.

- Frontstyle Flow Combo #1: The hardest of the tuts i have for you. Even if you don’t performe the Ninja Vanish at the end, it is still a great trick to practice transitions.

Thanks @PCaliyoyos, starting this trick a week is the third best yoyo decision I made recently.

first being entering a yoyo contest.  
second being getting a SF Cadence ES 🤣  
Closely followed by starting this challenge for everyone and myself

Ah I just did the whole thing without errors and pauses!

Guys! I pulled off such an amazing Kamikaze today! It was SO smooth and everything felt so right!  
I even added in a bunch of cool element in the beginning just to make it look cooler!

…then I woke up from the nap I was taking.  
_/sigh_

Cadence ES? What’s that? Is it even any good?  
I don’t recall you ever mentioning it before!

lol 😛 😛 I’m kidding!

Holy heck dude…you’ve made some huge strides on this trick! That’s amazing man!!

Also, you must’ve done something a bit different with your light today because your string is popping much better this go around!

I’m so impressed with you man! 😃

Yeah I used the SF Cadence ES 🤣

Nah I just changed the angle of the light slightly so that it is pointed towards me at a more 30 degree angle instead of being perpendicular to the side of me.

If it’s front on I find it’s tiring for the eyes.

When I had it side in it’s easy on the eyes but my body and arms block the light and the string doesn’t pop.

And a slight angle it shines directly into the strings 🙂

Okay got a semi decent attempt on camera plus a bit of freestyle just before.  
Think I’m happy with this week’s trick and my progress.

@twitch77 time to drop the next trick!!! Let’s go!

Dude that was fantastic!

It has been so awesome watching you progress man! You’re so good!! Holy heck bro!!

…  
Gah…I’m feeling out of sorts today. I didn’t push nearly as hard as I was hoping I would this week. Made some progress, but…yeah. I let myself down :(.  
I haven’t even picked up a yo-yo yesterday or today. _/grrrr_…I think Kamikaze is going to go into my back pocket for now. I got MUCH closer than I’ve ever been with the trick this week. In fact…I actually completed the trick several times throughout the week! Not smoothly…but they were complete! So that’s gotta count for something…it also gives me confidence that as I continue to progress, this I will be able to nail and smooth this trick out.  
I’m just not there yet.  
I feel sad…but also okay. lol It’s hard not to get frustrated you know?  
I feel like I’ve let myself down…and I also feel like I’m going to let you guys down (especially @MoonageMin) for not getting further on this trick…or for not at least having a video up of some close attempts.  
It’s also hard for me not to compare myself to others. lol I’m such a slow learner…but that’s my own fault because I know full well I don’t push myself as hard as I should or could.

Oh well…this week has been fun none the less. I’ve gotten MUCH better at Magic Drops, and though I’ve been exhausted all week and haven’t put nearly as much time into this as I’d of liked…the times I have practiced have been enjoyable!

I’m ready for this up coming week! The trick I have picked out looks like it shouldn’t be as much trouble as Kamikaze is for me.

Sorry if I’ve let anyone down here :\*(

**TRICK-A-WEEK CHALLENGE WEEK #2**

Okay 😃

So the trick I have picked for this week is a front style trick (hope it’s not too much for you _Old Man_ (hehe) @ryanmcg)…  
To me it looks SO neat!  
It also looks pretty simple, but looks might be deceiving on this one!

It’s called the Jason Lee Sling
