It feels like the light is a good idea but might be too much hassle in practice. Yeah I regret a little getting a 1m tripod lol. But it was a gift so no complaints.

You can also set it on something. I have to shoot around a baby gate and a bunch of stuff, so I donā€™t have many options.

Yeah basically at home I prop it on something.
But when I am out, sometime I feel like, oh it will be super cool to film this with airplanes behind me at the airport
or like ooh I am in Brighton! but no where to really put the phone to film and donā€™t want to ask strangers lol.
So I thought a little tripod would be cool to have.

I didnā€™t mind the music at all!

I started throwing 25 years agoā€¦ took a15 year break (i carried a modified yyj Hitman and would throw occasionally)ā€¦9 months ago i got b back into it. I discovered the frontstyle series i mentioned. I try to throw an hour everyday. Keeps me sane.
I appreciate this forum and this thread. Thanks to all.

Do you still own the Hitman by any chance? Man I love the original Hitman. I have a Hitman Professional, but itā€™s just not the same!

I added a concave bearing back in the dayā€¦ first $30 back then but it was awesome. I love that throw. I upgraded the bearing to a modern concave ā€¦a little vibby but itā€™s still a great piece.

@G2_Jake did a really nice how-to video on how to do lighting for trick videos, but canā€™t seem to find it now :frowning:

I use a similar setup. I use an Ultra Pod, and when I put my phone on it I have a super cheap mount. I just set it on the counter or the table and it works fine for me.

Man, I suck :sob:

Frustrating night for sure. Iā€™m not upset or anythingā€¦just not a good night for me with yoing.

I feel so far away from Superflow still. /sighā€¦
And I lost count at attempt #995,987 on kamikaze.
At least I got a few Hidemassa Hooks down.
And some Sky Binds.

Tonight was exhausting and a bit frustrating.

2 days left to work on Superflow. If I donā€™t get it this weekend, thatā€™s okayā€¦Iā€™ll for sure be working on it everyday for at least the next couple of weeks.
I WILL get this cursed trick down dang it!!

Iā€™ll get some videos up eventually tonight. lol I donā€™t know how to use my editing software >.<ā€™

No worries dude - Iā€™ve been so busy this week with Christmas related stuff Iā€™ve barely had any time to pick up a yoyo this week, much less get a video recorded. Maybe tomorrow night lol

Practice session. Getting thereā€¦ I landed the whole thing clean yesterday :confused: Ah well, Iā€™m liking this anyway.

Superflow?
Yeahā€¦more like SuperMESS!!

I feel like I have to pause at each 1.5 mount to adjust the string on my non-throw handā€¦how do you guys not do this? I donā€™t know how to ā€˜flowā€™ into each part.

Hereā€™s an ALMOST Kamikaze with a few (sloppy) elements added to the beginingā€¦

And a completed Kamikaze (no added elements)ā€¦

Some Triple Towers (tutorial HERE)

Hidemassa Hooksā€¦

And some Sky Bindsā€¦

Very nice manā€¦I really like how youā€™re working on your own tricks with the Sub Mount!
Iā€™ve only been working on Superflow this week and havenā€™t even tried to do my own thing.

Also, nice tree :smiley:
