So how are you all doing this week?  
This was a really easy one…haha for some reason I thought it was going to be a bit harder!

Has anyone figured out a cool way to get out of this one? It’s so boring to just kick the string out and drop the yo into a sleeper. It’s hard to combo into anything cool from there.

I swear I popped the yo out of the tower and landed onto a trapeze on Monday. But now I’m starting to second guess if it ever really happened as I’ve been unable to do it again.

Actually it’s kinda cool, you don’t end in a sleeper a lot, so it’s a chance to do a Brent Stole or Hidemasa or any number of things like that.

Just get into a mount on the back string and keep going…

So cool display man! Also I like a lot the video in general, colors are sick

After displaying the tower I let go the tower “spike” and I insert my nth into the loop that’s created between my th and the yoyo. A bucket is created and you can then pop the yoyo out and keep going, I personally go on with more towers.

I found another good variation to mount the tower I’m going to show you guys today

Nice work peeps!!!

@twitch77 , thanks for keeping this up. Really helping the mental health. Between the virus, the kids being home and the stresses of work & life, its cool to have something to work on. Truly appreciate the effort here.

Thanks

Here’s other two variations on the chopstick mount and the chopstick undermount

@MoonageMin I’m in your same situation, hours and hours of meeting in smart working. Yoyoing is a great distraction. Good stuff btw!

One day if I ever create a new tower, I’ll name it the Moonage tower and credit you for the inspiration:)

That was very smooth… love the chopstick hop. Good stuff. . And i love the yoyo color string combo.

@MoonageMin i learned the mirage tower… looks a bit like a holographic tower like every other trick i need to smooth it out.

It’s a cool little trick, but I can’t take the credit, @ryanmcg recommended it to me to learn.  
Top man 🙂

Very cool @adamantiumpops and great job on the Mirage Tower @AKYOYOMIKE!! I haven’t tried the trick yet…but it is on my list of stuff to work on for this up coming week!

Thanks again for the glove @AKYOYODR…it really is much nicer then I was expecting and I think I’ll be using it a lot!

Also…

I figured it out 😃 You pop the yo off the string once you’re in the tower and land on top of all the strings…then drop the strings off your fingers…you’re left in a trapeze but there’s a twist around your non-throw hand pointer so you have to twist your hand out of that…then you’re in a trapeze and ready to move into combos 🙂.

lol I’m horrible at explaining things.  
I got a video of me landing it…was trying to combo into a Triple Tower but I really botched it up! haha…decided to just roll with it.  
I like this combo though so I’m hoping to get a clean vid of it up later today or tomorrow.

Nice transition to trapeze @twitch77!

You can get rid of that twist by doing a jump rope and that would look kinda cool 🙂
