Post a trick thread!

Thanks so much guys! Means a lot, because approaching my worlds wild card I can’t help but feel subpar.

5a shenanigans. This feels simultaneously foreign and familiar.

Last year I tried 5A May after only a couple months of unresponsive. It was an epic struggle and I got as far as 360s. This year I got much farther, finally landing beesting both for the first time AND consistently, and it’s opened up this space of symmetric kinetic motion and play that feels super rewarding. It’ll be another while yet before I get to where I am in 1A, but this is going to be part of my regular rotation from now on. I don’t feel like I’m “wasting” a yoyo by having a counterweight attached to it any more.

Strings a little tough to see, but I expanded on my beef hook combo. Need to smooth it out a ton but I’m happy with it as it sits rn.

Found a way to mount my go pro to my noggin but Instagram is being real dumb. I have spent 30 minutes trying to upload it. I have reformatted it. No luck. Is there another way to post it?

I did it!!! Trick I made up calling it The turducken.

Next time I think flipping the video 180 would look better.

I tried learning this a while back but just couldn’t get it. Seeing it makes me want to try learning it again.

The trick is a lot easier if you have string that’s a bit longer…you can obviously do it on shorter string too but in my limited experience with the trick:

shorter = taut string
longer = more slack in the string

More slack makes it easier for the yoyo to loop past that string and form the slack needed for the trick.

What are you using to post the video? Doesn’t look like YouTube or Instagram

Google hosting - I have a pixel so it’s no extra effort on my end!

I can do yuuki slack with below tehe belly button string :man_shrugging:t2:
Not meaning to flex but the two most important thing is a small trapeze and keeping your pinch.
Or atleast, in my experience

Definitely those two things as well, I guess it’s just not as satisfying with short string

Well, you do have a point. HAHAHA
the slacks will also be shown more with long string.
Honestly, i have a pretty long string length (average basically) upper abdomen.
