I is has ouchy!
Oh you twitchāed that quite badly!!
Super ouch!!
Yeah, I done twitched up! lol
I really feel like Iām right at the edge of getting Superflow down to a point that I can repeat it 3 or 4 timesā¦but not quickly or smoothly yet.
But at the same time, it also feels like I may well be at this edge with the trick for awhile.
Thereās still 3 or 4 days to go this week thoughā¦so Iāll continue working on it. The next few days I donāt have a lot going on, so Iām hoping to push myself a bit more on this.
Oh! And I landed a full Kamikaze tonight! From start to finish complete with a bind . That makes me happy!
Iām right there with this trickā¦I feel like Iām just days away at this point from having it pretty dang consistent. And that thought really gets me pumpedā¦lol this trick has been on the top of my todo list for far too longā¦itās time to master the sucker!
Nice. I think I got last weeks pretty much down, just ugly, and Iāll try to learn superflow tomorrow.
Thatās so okay though! I think smoothness comes with timeā¦congrats on getting it! lol it was a lot more tricky then it at first looked!!
Good job on the progress @twitch77.
So I can do superflow on repeat although I miss picking off the back string when going in to the 1.5 mount and straight into the superflow bit in a single swing. But itās not fast or smooth yet.
Speed combo I can now do each of the elements separately but canāt combine yet or do it fast yet.
Haha I still work on kamikaze too every time I pick up a yoyo. Itās a great trick to just play with mindlessly. Still not quite satisfied with it yet though but getting better!
lol I feel like Iām always 1 or 2 weeks behind you on my progress! Youāre such a quick learner! Very inspiring and fun to watch! Iām proud to know ya!
Haha not at all you are way ahead of me on slinky. I still throw a couple in everyday but Iām still not quite there yet. I would say we are about equal in progress rate but I practice more hours than you I think. Also different tricks different people progress at different rates. Some I might pick it up faster. Some not so much. Hook for example
Did some candid practice on camera this lunch break at work just now.
Kind of messy and sloppy not happy with how it looks, but I thought I would share how I am progressing.
Also it was not a kamikaze dayā¦
@twitch77 bring it.
#battleofthenoobs
It drives me crazy when Iām doing superflow and I miss the back string and itās just swinging back and forthā¦ like itās taunting me. Iāve actually been changing up how I do it a bit, and Iāve done some pretty ok seamless repeats. Finally.
Also, @MoonageMin, Iām finally off the juice. Can I compete again?
Please submit a Urine sample or a bag of by @twitch77ās door for testing.
And you can enter
Lol, I was gonna ask about a āsampleā, but I thought maybe Iād let someone else bring the level of class in here down for once.
Also, I take back what I said; I hate this week. I suck at speed combos. And yo-yoing. Speed combos and yo-yoing.
Well you saw my speed slow combo.
Canāt be much worse than that.
Iām not brave enough to post my practice sessions here
Iām too hard on myself. I made real quick progress my first year before my neck/upper back started acting up, and itās very frustrating struggling with things I had down before. I do feel like Iām starting to improve again though, and trick a week is helping Totally kidding about this week; itās actually been good, just hard.
To be fair I just have the video running during my practice sessions and post them because lazy to try and do 5,783 takes to get the perfect shot. Lol
How do i join the trick a week challenge? is it still going on? will you start a new one next year? What tricks are you guys currently working on?
I have basically just been working on the YYE trick list, I am semi confident with most the advanced tricks, but i need to keep working on them and I thought this challenge might be a cool idea. Thank you for your info.
Well @MoonageMin could answer better, but just scroll to the top to read about it, and ask @MoonageMin to add you to the list.
This week we are doing beginner speed combos, with the trick superflow as an element of it. Basically make up your own combo and include superflow if you can. @MoonageMin posted a list of elements of basic speed combos, yesterday I think, lemme find itā¦
Thereās videos above, including some helpful stuff provided by @EOS44 if you want to do a bit more.
Sure. No problem.
Iāll get those samples out in the mail to you right away for your inspection Moons!
hahaā¦so am I a horrible person for being glad knowing you and Moons struggle?
I can be pretty hard on myself and can get frustrated with my struggles. So itās nice knowing that you guys struggle too and Iām not alone! haha
We can all suck at yo-yoing together! We can totally start a new club and call it the Yo-Yo Suckers Club.
Waitā¦why are you rolling your eyes? Thereās nothing wrong with that club name!!!
