Learning the wrist mount and the double or nothing can lead to trick innovation. I’ve experimented with those mounts and I’ve came up with a few new tricks. Chopsticks can also lead to some nice tricks. ---

Question: Have you tried stringing tricks that you know together to make combos? ---

Nice. I think learning some easy combos would be helpful to learning harder combos. ---

Okay, first understand that Chuck and Jens have been doing this for _several_ years. They are on a completely different level. Another question: do you understand elements? Like, can you dissect tricks that you know to make or embellish other tricks? ---

The Wasabi GT is a good one. You can find it on Yotricks. [https://youtu.be/5JLBTS0B3Lw](https://youtu.be/5JLBTS0B3Lw) ---

> [@knowledgeablepixels](#): > > i dont really want anything that techy though That’s fine. You do you. Pro tip: Practice repeaters. You can even make up your own. Back to this in a second though. When you’re learning a trick, you usually have to break it up into steps. The key to making your style smooth, is learn a trick, and then learn how to smooth out those transitions between each broken down step of the trick. The key is repetition, practice practice practice. That is why I suggest learning some repeaters, or make your own! Anything that you can do over and over and over during one throw will help you develop flow. ---
