Looks like last weeks trick is knot HOPining.
Its February and that means we get to Fix thing up a bit . Sorry if my humor stalls. Wooden" you like me to continueā¦
0A can be very satisfying and very frustrating at the same time. There is a lot of flexibility in the flow of the tricks. Since i am not a expert by any means at 0A im going to try and pick tricks that will set a good foundation for the rest of the Fridayās in the year.
This week lets learn some basic Stalls. ZIPPER! Zipper is a repeater trick so if you know stalls letās see some repeaters videosā¦if you can zipper repeat then letās see a SBM zipper repeater as demoed by @edhoponik in the tutorial below.
My apologies. Iām in the middle of a moveā¦ my head is a bit scrambledā¦I thought it was Friday! Been carrying a wooden yoyo for 4 days i thought it was Friday x4! Wow. Sorry about that.
I still canāt quite hit the first hop in the repeater. The second hop (almost the reverse of the first) I can do pretty easily. Iāve been looking at what Iām doing differently, and on the second Iām tossing the yo-yo in a much higher arc. When I try to do the same with the first, I usually miss catching the loop around my wrist, or the loop doesnāt form right. Iām getting closer, but I think itās going to take a while.
Iām going to practice it(just the repeater) a bit every day, along with my everyday attempts at Beefhook(which is starting to pay off).
Im getting closer! After the second hop I was landing in a slightly different mount than the start which wouldnāt let me do the repeater, but think I got it figured out last night. At this point I think Iāve got all the motions and its just a matter of grinding it out for a while but its a tough one
Iāll let you know when Iām done practicing today. This is my first day really giving it a go, and I understand what I need to do, but Iām having trouble casting the slack with the chop motion. Otherwise itās great(if you overlook the main elementā:smiley:)
If youāre a even a minute past it counts. You should be able to get by without even being carded, considering you have that distinguished beard(very nice streak, I dig itš)
Iām in. I did the 30+last year and coming up with a 60 sec combo was a great challange. There where 25 other 30plus throwersā¦i came in 32. I got myself a Tshirt and it was great.
