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 don’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 don’t want to ask strangers lol.
So I thought a little tripod would be cool to have.

I started throwing 25 years ago… took a15 year break (i carried a modified yyj Hitman and would throw occasionally)…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 it’s just not the same!

I added a concave bearing back in the day… first $30 back then but it was awesome. I love that throw. I upgraded the bearing to a modern concave …a little vibby but it’s still a great piece.

@G2_Jake did a really nice how-to video on how to do lighting for trick videos, but can’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.

I plan to film a new one this week

Man, I suck :sob:

Frustrating night for sure. I’m not upset or anything…just not a good night for me with yoing.

I feel so far away from Superflow still. /sigh…
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 don’t get it this weekend, that’s okay…I’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!!

I’ll get some videos up eventually tonight. lol I don’t know how to use my editing software >.<’

No worries dude - I’ve been so busy this week with Christmas related stuff I’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 there… I landed the whole thing clean yesterday :confused: Ah well, I’m liking this anyway.

Superflow?
Yeah…more like SuperMESS!!

I feel like I have to pause at each 1.5 mount to adjust the string on my non-throw hand…how do you guys not do this? I don’t know how to ā€˜flow’ into each part.

Here’s an ALMOST Kamikaze with a few (sloppy) elements added to the begining…

And a completed Kamikaze (no added elements)…

Some Triple Towers (tutorial HERE)

Hidemassa Hooks…

And some Sky Binds…

Very nice man…I really like how you’re working on your own tricks with the Sub Mount!
I’ve only been working on Superflow this week and haven’t even tried to do my own thing.

Also, nice tree :smiley:
