Its not the Stall i’m supposed to be practicing… it’s not the day i’m supposed to be throwing it… it’s not the thread i’m supposed to post it on. But I did, I am, and i Will. :wink:. Deal with it.

hey man, welcome to TaW.

This is the very reason I started this thread as I was lacking clear objective and it’s great to have fellow TaW gang learning and discussing the week’s trick with you.

Feel free to catch up on some of the key tricks and join in from next week too when we start 1A again.

Mine is more of a grayish black. Not blue but still not really black.

Glad you enjoy the double Kwyjibo. It’s a funky little trick and I find it to be a great hop practice.
I think learning this before was what helped me get the spirit bomb down probably too.

I’m currently learning the bouncy castle. And it has a cool Kwyjibo element in there that gets you into a reverse GT. :slight_smile:

Well done on nailing the double Kwyjibo Mike :slight_smile:

Bouncy CastlešŸ˜€ā€¦ that jump rope element still gets me inside a mount. Very cool looking. This will take much longer.

it’s a cool looking trick, the reason I like it is there are some nice elements from here I can try and incorporate later on to other tricks.

Not smooth but this is my progress on the Bouncy Castle trick so far.

Using the Freehand AL @twitch77 got me as a present :green_heart:

Jump rope… so i thought it was beyond me last night. Woke up and saw your bouncy castle which brought back my AND WUT which never posted successfully. TaW is a virus that infected my system, unfortunately there is no vaccine or cure, the only symptomatic relief from this affliction is to THROW a yoyo with monotonous regularity. So before i feed the kids let’s see if i can land a trick on video… 5 takes, but i call it success.

That looked pretty smooth. Video set up is great. Good job all around

Sweet that is good, TaW is great, all day tricks I am working on is in my head I keep going over it and I can’t wait for my yoyo session to try things out etc.
It is like an infection haha

Today I had a feel good / feel bad moment.

Finally got one clean run of black hops!!! Super psyched!!!

But for some reason my camera is out of focus and blurry as f…

My first blackhops and this blob is all I have to show for it :joy:

The blur effect just adds to the ā€œa e s t h e t i cā€ !
Congrats on the trick :slight_smile:

Here’s my take at the two first weeks. I spent all of yesterday alternating between learning these two tricks:

I thought I knew Kamikaze, but then realised what I had learned was in fact just the Kamikaze Mount… Thankfully the learning was not too difficult.

As for the JL Sling: it hurt my brain, it hurt my NT hand from hitting it countless times, but it’s really fun. I feel it’s the type of trick you get better at from long term repetition.
I’d be curious to see how good you guys can do it now if it’s a trick you continued to practice in between other tricks :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you @stringKnot and wow you got smooth on those two tricks super quick!

Well done for catching up, your Kamikaze and slingy looks better than most people here including me :slight_smile:

Yeah we all had the same reaction to Slingy, it was like trying to rub your belly and pat your heat at the same time.
