MoonageMin & Twitch's Trick-a-Week Challenge! (2020)

Alright here’s my bestest attempt so far!
Learned the basics of the trick, now just gotta smooth it out.

Gotta say this trick looks harder than it is and yoyojoe’s tutorial is amazing.

Thanks for sharing this trick @CPC, this was a great pick! :grin:

yeah there is a certain part at the end that is tricky where you have to make sure you are in the right mount before you do that weird turnover across your hand. Had to rewatch several times to get it.

If your yo-yo isn’t flopping, you’re not pushing the string in the right direction. You need to pull apart, but also push the string towards the body of the yo-yo. The YoTricks tutorials on gyro flops explain how to control the flop speed and direction.

Ok, I’ll try that

@stringKnot I have tried doing the normal one as well, have the same problem.

Trick-A-Week Week #38: Hourglass Tricks

Part1

Part2

Hourglass mounts can be achieved in a bunch of different ways, so once you learn the tricks above, you can move to this Brandon Vu tutorial which is way harder

A fun challenge for each of us would be to create a Hourglass combo starting from the tutorials above.
Hope you enjoy learning this one as much as I’m doing

Wooooh! :astonished: Now that’s a banger!
Definitely a trick that I can see my non-yoyo friends enjoy.

I think some muscle memory learned during the Ladder Escape will be useful for this one.

@ChrysaeThrows This looks like fun.

@stringKnot awesome vid

@AKYOYOMIKE Looking good

I’m glad I watched your vids. I was getting into the right mount at the beginning but doing it the wrong way. Got to get it right and post a vid later.

Wow that was impressive @ryanmcg !

The first 4 seconds were as we would expect from our submissions… and then it’s like the state of Yo kicked in and you entered Super Saiyan mode. :laughing:
Damn smooth!

Thanks man! That was a really fun trick. That slack though… it looks pretty simple but I had a lot of trouble with it.

Great pick @CPC.
