I just figured out that instead of dropped the slack in front, dropping it on the yo-yo creates a double triangle.

Edit: dropping the slack behind the yo-yo, if you can manage it, is less likely to snag.

Week 19

5a Waveclash and Slack to Double GT

Welcome to 5a May TaW crew!

I’ve got two lined up for us this week. The first is more accessible(main focus), the other is more complex (bonus points😎)  
Up first:

The shared concepts I was searching for when I found this were - tech, axle wrap, & GT’s. I’ve got these down so if you have questions or need tips, “get at me dog”!

So my 5A is progressing… im still working on windmill, 360, 720…all the basics. I was hoping to get that smooth enough for a video… but catching that CW is no easy task. I’m using a Duncan yellow rubber ball cause I’m tired of smacking my hands with plastic.

Get a CW and start trying. Everything you try will improve your 1A game in the end anyway.
