I think your to picky for my style, but i have to say @stringKnot you have a very sharp crisp OCD style that i think demands a SECOND jump rope in the same trick! You da man! .
thanks!
Itās all about finding excuses to keep training those damn jump ropes.
Ladder escape was one of my favorite tricks when I was first learning it
The problem (for me) is that the cross armed GT makes it more difficult. At least itās easy to practice, get there right from a 1.5 pretty quick.
Have you made any progress doing a jump rope out of the GT?
Yes I can land it with 30% success rate, Iāll shoot a video tomorrow
It does feel a bit awkward at first but luckily itās the easier jump rope (imo) where you have to go away from you over the top and come back towards you to land the trapeze.
My time, focus and energy has been elsewhere this week and I havenāt put much time into throwing.
Iām so impossibly behind in this Trick-A-Week at this point.
I wish I could go dig a hole, put my head in itā¦then pretend no one could see me.
Sweet, I got the GT jump rope down pretty consistently. Itās sort of odd uncrossing your arms and doing a jump rope at the same time, kind of ends up as one smooth motion. I like it a lot.
There is no catch upā¦ just pick a trick work on it and post. All good.
Sometimes I also find it helpful to just practice a new element unrelated to what we are doing. Sort of gives you a small victory and then you take on the bigger trick.
Ill have to try the extra jump ropeā¦ one dayā¦i tried revisiting candy rain this weekā¦ that magic drop over the nth is really a strange bird.
Well said @AKYOYOMIKE. This is what I do too. Some weeks are all about the TaW, others not so much.
@twitch77 If itās not fun or youāre hitting a wall, just work on something else. When I hit a wall, Iāll try to work on something similar, and sometimes that helps. And other times it doesnāt
I think you guys summed it up well.
Donāt beat yourself up over it @twitch77!
Hereās my take on this weekās trick
Also, to come back on this subject:
This one is for you, Ryan
Nice job bro! That was really smooth. Interesting bind tooāIāve toyed with similar binds rolling into a brother mount and letting the yo-yo fly one direction or another. I used to always do binds that fly up, but I got tired of hitting my ceiling fan and waking up my whole family at night
That jump rope is sweet, also exactly what I meant yesterday when I said it was sort of all one motion. Itās really satisfying.
Love the surprise bind video Iāve got some good nicks on my throwhand from the past two weeks from the same triangle.
Thanks!
I love doing binds in multiple directions from Brother mount too!
From above is my favorite although it really comes back with a punch if I dare to pull on it just a little too much.
And yes, that last jumping rope makes the GT to trapeze feel much less awkward to me and feels very natural. Iām really happy you like it too!
@stringKnot That was awesome.
Really liking this trick cause it has some elements that I can use in building combos.
I wish you guys had someone stronger running this thing then me. I havenāt been able to be a decent leader of this Trick-A-Week in months.
Iām barely a participant anymoreā¦let a lone someone who runs this thing .
Trick-A-Week Week #36: Grinds
So this week Iām leaving it openā¦the goal is to work on grinds, but Iām leaving it up to you guys to pick which grinds to work on!
This should be nice as it can be a challenge for everyone. Thereās binds that are beginner friendly for those of us who are new to grindsā¦but then thereās grinds that are much tougher that those of you who are more experienced (or hungry for the challenge) can work on!
Hoping this can be a fun relaxing week for everyone
Hereās a nice intro vid to grinding:
Some cool grind binds:
And Dylan just put this cool grind video up on youtube today:
If you guys need more ideas for grinds to work on, just say so and hopefully we can come up with and share some cool suggestions!
@stringKnot & @CPC holy ā ā ā ā ā¦nice job to both of you! Both very clean and smooth! Love that you guys were able to get these on video
Right back at you!
And I totally agree with you, great elements that fit very well even with recently learned elements like TaW #33 which has a really cool brother GT.
What a great idea, this looks fun!
Thanks again for spoiling us every week with such great tricks suggestions!
I forbid anyone to like @twitch77 self pitty post.
Shut up and throw. No one thinks Yoda is less then cause he didnāt show skills for a whileā¦ walking around all greenā¦ but dare question yodas leadership skills and im sure a forceful yoyo would smack you in the head.
You lead. You throw. You no worry.
