MoonageMin's Trick-a-Week 2021 [Finished, check out TaW 2022]

TaW #6 ZipperStalls

Looks like last weeks trick is knot HOPining.
Its February and that means we get to Fix thing up a bit :upside_down_face:. Sorry if my humor stalls. Wooden" you like me to continue…

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 Friday’s in the year.

If you haven’t read @edhaponik
ed [...]: 0a. Check it out.

This week lets learn some basic Stalls. ZIPPER! Zipper is a repeater trick so if you know stalls let’s see some repeaters videos…if you can zipper repeat then let’s see a SBM zipper repeater as demoed by @edhoponik in the tutorial below.

Happy Fixed Friday.

Oh wow @edhaponik used to be fat I would never have imagined until I saw that :joy:

Not for Nagao anyway. I’m gonna keep working on it, maybe one day I’ll Evan be able to land it.

Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

Cheating on Fixed Feb. today to get caught up on some TaW challenges and filming.:speak_no_evil:

Anybody hit Nagao Hops yet?

Nope… but my fixy combos are coming along.
The easy OA tricks thread by @TheThrowingGnome are great.

I can’t seem to hit zipper for a repeater consistently. I can get the SBM stall but not the somersault etc…

Not quite, you have any luck?

I still can’t quite hit the first hop in the repeater. The second hop (almost the reverse of the first) I can do pretty easily. I’ve been looking at what I’m doing differently, and on the second I’m 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 doesn’t form right. I’m getting closer, but I think it’s going to take a while.

I’m going to practice it(just the repeater) a bit every day, along with my everyday attempts at Beefhook(which is starting to pay off).

Eh was that a Duncan? Very well done bro.

Im getting closer! After the second hop I was landing in a slightly different mount than the start which wouldn’t let me do the repeater, but think I got it figured out last night. At this point I think I’ve got all the motions and its just a matter of grinding it out for a while but its a tough one

I’ll let you know when I’m done practicing today.:+1: This is my first day really giving it a go, and I understand what I need to do, but I’m having trouble casting the slack with the chop motion. Otherwise it’s great(if you overlook the main element​:smiley:)

Hmm, I wonder if I could sign up for the over 30 division since I’m 30 on the dot

If you’re 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 itšŸ‘)

I’m in. I did the 30+last year and coming up with a 60 sec combo was a great challange. There where 25 other 30plus throwers…i came in 32. I got myself a Tshirt and it was great.
