Yeah :frowning:
Itā€™s one of those things thatā€™s really making me feel rather dumb lol. I know itā€™s probably something simple Iā€™m missingā€¦and I feel like I should have this darn trickā€¦
I think my brain goes blank right as Iā€™m popping the yo up hahaā€¦and I forget everything Iā€™m suppose to know about the pop.

Iā€™ll continue working on it. Iā€™ll get it eventuallyā€¦just going to take me awhile.

It took me months to get it, Iā€™m a slow learner but it is something you just need to develop a feel for and as others have said it really helps to use your knees for the second pop!

Iā€™m enjoying a lot this weekā€™s trick. Just practiced a couple of hours and I confirm that the single elements are not difficult to hit. Doing it smooth in another story though.

Iā€™ll see if I can make a tip video later tonight there are a couple of small things you can do to make the trick a lot easier.

Im having a little trouble with the endā€¦ the slack flipā€¦i think im not pinching the string correctlyā€¦ but i canā€™t believe ive gotten that far alreadyā€¦

You talking about spirit bomb or the new trick? Thereā€™s no slack in spirit bomb unless Iā€™ve been doing it all wrong lol.

If you are talking about spirit bomb, itā€™s more of an easy rejection. Move your throw hand outward off plane. Do it just like how you double on before the fist hop, just off the inside. Make sure your non throw hand finger hits both strings (the one coming off the yoyo and the one the yoyo is resting on). If you donā€™t hit both strings, it probably wonā€™t reject.

I was talking about the new trickā€¦

I found kendama legs to be an excellent tip for spirit bomb, i need to practice consistency on the landing but i got it down thanks @Oroboryoā€¦ but for this week i think that flip at the end is slack? My terminology might be wrongā€¦ iā€™m not sure if we pinch the string with the NTH and how do you keep the triangle that flips intact to catch itā€¦?

Ah ok. I havenā€™t even taken a look at the new trick yet. Iā€™m still behind.

This trick is long and Iā€™m getting a little lost past the middle, but it is a great choice.
Itā€™s forcing me to go just out of my comfort zone and I think my play is improving. This might be the first one I complete before weeks end.

I only worked on it for a little while today but Iā€™m feeling the same about it so far. I think Iā€™ll have it learned quick but getting it fast and smooth is going to take a while!

Oh hey itā€™s the one I recommended. Good luck guys! I learned this trick right after learning kamikaze and wrist mount.

I just landed a perfect spirit Bomb and followed into a flawless kamikazeā€¦ no video, just my own sense of satisfaction.

As i finish my daily Subway commute i had the best jam session everā€¦ flowing in and out of all the tricks weā€™ve done 1-11ā€¦(except injection and finger spins)ā€¦i even land this weekā€™s trick completely and in a flow with kamikazeā€¦
I love this challenge!

I met a guy named JordanL the other day. He walked into my brotherā€™s room and we had a throw session. Very cool dudeā€¦ apparently silent but friendly on the site.
Thank you for a good time and inspiring me to learn the plastic whip and gyro flopā€¦

Hope to catch up again soon jordan. Thanks.
