My suggestion would be to do stuff you are not comfortable with on stage. High risk=High reward! ---

@CodingHorror Thanks, I was pretty nervous. @gcoommans I know but all of the cool tricks I know are Tyler Vienneau’s and I wanted to do original stuff. @Marm Just tell me your name and I can look up the freestyle, that is a lot easier than my original idea. 😃 ---

I would not say “High Risk=High Reward”. Since there is high risk, u will most likely mess up. Consistency is still better than Risk ---

That was real gud! I would recommend not having much pauses because that would reduce your time of doing tricks though. WAY WAY better than my first contest freestyle though, messed up on everything lol. How long have you been yoyoing? I was yoyoing for 4-5 months when i joined my first competition. ---

Agreed. But I’m tossing that out the window for my next one and I’m doing my hardest tricks ---

Yeah, maybe high risk is more for throwing with homies and not a first competition. I will never compete and if I did I would not try something with a great risk of failure which people would remember more than the successfully executed tricks. People remember fails way more than successes which is why people do not post videos on youtube of people NOT slipping on an icy sidewalk. Maybe I’m wrong.
