Welcome @ChrysaeThrows! This week is Smoothie and we release new tricks on Sunday, but that is not the deadline, you can keep working on it. I am still mixing in to my practices tricks from week 1¬4 every day. ---

Gemma welcome! Guys, I met Gemma just over a month ago and the UK Southern Regional Contest. She was amazing, and she showed me this trick and I knew I wanted to learn this, so this was the inspiration for the tricks a week challenge. So I guess you can say, the person who inspired me to make this trick a week challenge, is now the person who is inspired by how all of you have joined in and motivated yourself to keep getting better, and having fun. @JustAnotherYoYoEr Thank you Gemma not just for your tutorial, but for inspiring me to make this challenge to begin with. I learnt this week’s (your) trick using the string you gave me, it felt very fitting way to use the string. 🙂 Guys, Gemma is one of the most awesome person you can meet in real life, as much as she does on camera. ---

:joy: I’m legit impressed you were able to land the underleg whip! lol * * * I’m making some progress on tihis, though still not very smoothly or fast. I still hesitate…especially on the last bit of the trick (getting into that weird under mount). I’ll get a video up today or tomorrow…been a pretty busy week for me (haha excuses excuses!!) ---

I find it easier to try and go straight into it and use the momentum as a helping hand. ---

> [@MoonageMin](#): > > d go straight into it and use the momentum as a helping hand. Yeah, I’ve found the same to be true myself. Same with the 1.5 mount…the momentum pretty much guides the yo directly into the string. ---
