Hmmm… letting go of the counterweight turned out not to be a problem for me. Trying not to wake up the wife and kids, OTOH… My son is gonna have so much fun chasing around my yo-yos when they roll across the floor. Tomorrow will be fun. Man, that felt sooo weird landing a trapeze in reverse the first time. ---

Consistent Bee Stings are hard, if you can get them in a week mad props. One of my favorite 5A videos with Shigo Terada doing Bee Stings with ease playing a Küntosh.

It felt weird at first. I didn’t want to let go of the counterweight on that one. So I just let go once and it clicked while I was doing it. ---

Been trying for bee stings for a while now. I lose it when I get to the undermount as I’m not quite sure what’s supposed to happen. I know the trick starts with a 360 and the CW ends up doing another rotation around while I hop the yoyo up and over into the undermount. Am I supposed to just roll from the undermount back into the trapeze or something? ---

I landed a couple decent bee stings today and one reverse which I think was pure luck. Basic stalls are giving me a hard time though. It seems like I cant get the right amount a momentum into the cw. Its either flailing like a tossed rock or blazing around my fingers and wrapping in the yoyo.
