Barrel roll combos? Was farting around with this earlier on a smaller yoyo but decided I wanted to take it a step further with a near flea-sized throw (it’s the Kun, not the flea but still small enough). Front style tricks are kind of nostalgic…one of the first tricks I picked up on back in 2010 were anything in split bottom mounts…from barrel rolls to atomic bombs and split the atom.

Lately Ive been going for the momentum bind whenever I end up in dub or nothing. Its just so fun! I also just got myself a sherpa, so I decided to learn some of these frontstyle elements responsive which has been pretty fun! ---

I love a classic Split the Atom that ends with a loop. Working at ending it with a moon instead but proving to be difficult. ---

My enthusiasm and confidence has been shaken this past month or so…and I feel lightyears behind everyone here. It’s frustrating, but is what it is. I’m a slow learner and am slow to progress. That being said, I love this hobby and the community. I’m going to keep plugging away. Here’s a simple combo with some barrel rolls…I completely skipped learning barrel rolls till this week. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/e/ace3c42160aa4af0e1aad4d8161931346d471b26.jpeg "Barrel Roll Combos Progress (Feb-29-20)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB5v900L-aU) And I’m starting to get the picture slideshow trick we did a while back down pretty well I think. I’m also working on a new bind this week…I’m rusty with it, but it’s easy, effective and looks pretty good IMO.

Haha @twitch77 sorry man. And sorry everyone, I have been coming home from work past midnight everyday these days. And haven’t been able to do anything (including yoyos ☹ for the whole week.) I am so behind on life in general. Hopefully it stops being so busy at work soon and I can get back on track. ---

I just hope it’s work that you enjoy doing. You’re a high energy, passionate, focused person who’s great at getting things done.

**WEEK #14 — NINJA VANISH** I’ve heard a lot about this little element! Looks pretty intimidating to me to be quite honest! haha…I’ve heard that once you start landing it, it’s not so bad though (a lot like Hidemasa Hook was for me). There’s a really simple combo in one of the videos below that uses a [Trap+Bro Slack](https://youtu.be/_HjozwirS44) directly into a Ninja Vanish that looks really neat…can you guys think of any other cool combos that incorporates Ninja Vanish?

Great trick and indeed, it is not so difficult when you understand the mechanics behind it. > [@twitch77](#): > > can you guys think of any other cool combos that incorporates Ninja Vanish? Well, Ninja Vanish puts you in a front-exit GT, which can be the start of a lot of great tricks. One that I love is the “Andrew Bergen META Red Triangle Slack Combo YoYo Trick” of which you can find a tutorial from YoYoJoe. In this trick specifically you find a move to transfer from a Green Triangle to a Red Triangle (GT without a knot). Red Triangles are great to learn Suicides, since if you miss them you do not end up with a knot. I usually use Ninja Vanish to enter Red Triangles and practice suicides. ---

Assuming i do the ninja vanish correctly (pure luck i landed it a few times)… when i dismount front into trapeze, should i have a twist in the string or should i be in a totally clean trapeze?
