Okay guys 🙂
**TRICK-A-WEEK CHALLENGE WEEK #22 FREEHAND BASICS**
So 5A May is just around the corner so we’re going to be focusing on Freehand for the month with this T-A-W…
I thought we’d start things off with the very basics this week.

Woah lots too learn that’s awesome!
Would be cool if by the end of this month our TaW gang has enough 5a skills to be satisfied with for the time being and be confident enough to whip out during occasional yoyo meets and things like that.
Even if you decide never to do 5a every again, it’s always a good thing to have some basic competency in all disciplines 🙂

I’m planning on doing nothing but 5a for the month (except for looping). It’s always been a style I’ve wanted to get into. It’s so cool! 😃

Livin’ on the edge, diving into 5a with your new AL instead of a plastic you can beat up 😅

Who knew that _permanent_ meant that it’d be difficult to remove?!
Also, nice set-up man! 😃

I just had the Spider-Gwen delivered, so I had to sneak a picture of that in here lol,
I debated between that one I have now, and this one, but I liked the chimney detail so opted for the one I got. 🙂

I just started working on 5a.
Who knew throwing and just catching a yoyo was so difficult!
Also trapeze with the other hand ðŸ˜
Feels like I am learning to yoyo from scratch again. I forgot this feeling. 🙂

I am having so much fun with yoyoing (not that I didn’t before but like SO MUCH FUN) just by the addition of a bouncy ball (or counterweights in general) to the equation.
My room hates me now though, but so glad I decided to use a bouncy ball instead of a dice 🙂
Enjoy the progress of my first hour of noobing around on 5a

Good luck on ya guys 5A journey.
Let me know if you would be interested on some complementary tutorial recommendations for further 5A May weeks. The stuff in Miguel Correa’s channel is very very helpful for 5A beginners.
