Just some encouragement for anyone struggling on that trick-learning grind. I know I certainly need to hear this sometimes ☺. Also I’m happy to say that I mostly have Smoothie down but I’m struggling with both hitting that last under mount smoothly and consistently and with how to dismount into anything usable. Need to rewatch that tutorial video a few more times lol.

> [@nonja121](#): > > I’m happy to say that I mostly have Smoothie down but I’m struggling with both hitting that last under mount smoothly and consistently This is where I am on Smoothie as well. I’m finally starting to land the last under mount this week, but not consistently yet. I’m still struggling really hard with finger spins, not sure if I’ll get a vid of a completed spin up by Sunday night or not…sure going to try though! ---

@Oroboryo Haha sorry guys for the troll post, this was actually staged. I wanted to see how long it took for people who weren’t told about it already would take to find out. But didn’t want this to go on for too long either. So yeah that TV is a prototype that needs to be destroyed, scheduled to be crushed on Monday so I asked to let me break it first with a yoyo on camera. Sadly it did actually introduce a little vibe to my EDC VTWO, but meh vibe is life, if not today, would have happened tomorrow or something anyway. Totally worth it 🙂 ---

if you PM us both we will review it but we can’t guarantee it will feature. Our goal is to keep picking tricks that Twitch and I are looking to & want to learn next and hopefully it helps others keep their progress up as well. 🙂 ---

Week 6, finger spins. The good, the bad, the compression artifacty.

So, this week I’m working mainly on the Absurd challenge. Here’s my progress so far, yesterday I took a video of about 45 minutes and these are the 3 smoothest attempt that I got. Need to work on the ending as it is not as it should be and to smooth out the rest.
