Thanks man, going to start working on this week’s trick from tonight. I didn’t want to sit here during lunch break watching tutorials and just wanted to Jam and work on smoothing out last weeks challenge. This week, I am going to set a lofty target for myself and try and learn the trick before @shatterFX posts a complete video. 🙂 ---

> [@MoonageMin](#): > > try and learn the trick before @shatterFX posts a complete video. Haha, nice. I’m probably not going to have a lot of time this week, so I just hope I can learn it at all. I’m still working on the speed combo too. I want to get that down perfectly, but that’s gonna take time so I won’t devote too much practice time to it every day. ---

@MoonageMin I really like the way that you do a bunch of tricks on a single spin. It’s inspired me to start doing the same…instead of doing a trick then binding and doing a new throw before moving onto the next. I’d like to dedicated a few days this week just working on speed combos now too…after watching your 2 vids above. I haven’t worked on them at all to be honest. I’ve been spending all my time on Superflow and a few other things (like kamikaze and a couple of combos I’ve been working on). Thanks for posting the vids! They’ve helped me find a couple of new goals to work on this week (along side the Mexican Duck Pond trick)! 😃 ---

I read somewhere someone posting an advice, it was something along the lines of : _Try and make the most use out of your yoyo’s spin and get used to doing so_ I have since tried to maximise each throw and get more out of it to help me understand and get better at doing tricks efficiently and keep the spin going. I try if possible to keep going until the spin is low and I know I need to bind soon before it starts toppling over. 🙂 Has been helpful for me to practice this way but YMMV ---

Yeah that’s good advice. Sloppy play kills spin, and you need to be able to flow from one trick to another, and finally you need to learn how much spin you need to do different binds, and how to do binds with less spin. Also, keeping control of the yo-yo as the spin dies. ---

I think the trickiest part is managing the string section length so that the gyro flop on the NTH is neither too tight nor too loose. You can adjust it a tiny bit by tugging on the string going to your TH but not by a lot. The flop doesn’t need to have aligned string planes, and it actually helps the flop finish faster if some of the strings are crooked. The yoyo’s gotta be spinning pretty fast though. ---
