šŸ™‚ Hippo was definetly the best I pretty impressed on your style. Iā€™m surprised that Iā€™m almost as good as you and I have been yoyoing for 1/2 months. Keep up the good work Hippo and try to be the best like Hiroyuki Suzuki in a couple years. ---

Keep up the good work Hippo and try to be the best like Hiroyuki Suzuki in a couple years. So most people think Hippo is nutty good for 3 months at it, and youā€™re claiming to be ā€œone or twoā€ months at it (in that short of a time scale, you will KNOW whether itā€™s one or two monthsā€¦)? There are phenoms in the world, so itā€™s not unpossible, but Iā€™m kinda skeptical. And if itā€™s true, jealous. :wink: ---

I honestly have been doing this since about the first week of October (day I joined YYE) - but like Iā€™ve said many, many times in the past, I threw for about 1-2 months in middle school (over eight years ago) on a proyo/fh2/fhz, learning out of books. Furthest I got was trapeze and double or nothing. I guess technically that makes it ~5 months Iā€™ve been doing this, but like I said, it was a really long time ago, I didnā€™t even know how to bind correctly when I started again back in October. I also sleep pretty late every night- I usually go to sleep at around 4-5am, so Iā€™ve pretty much been throwing for many (many) hours a day for the past 3.5 months. It starts with me watching some videos then I get inspired and start throwing, and next thing I know its 4am. As for brent stole, I seriously figured it out the day I filmed that, and I still canā€™t get the triangle very big, or combo it from anything consistently. I can hit it ~75% of the time if i pause before doing it, far less if I try to combo it from like that jade whip looking thing. Thanks for all the votes guys, I wouldā€™ve went with Flannel, but hey I donā€™t mind the votes :wink: oh and sorry for the wall of text, I kinda rambled, but I like sharing with people where I ā€œcome fromā€ > [@yoyomasta](#): > > I agree, he looks at least 6 months in, because thatā€™s when I learned Brent stole, that or heā€™s just rich and has the resources I just like collecting these throws is that so wrong haha And brent stole wasnā€™t too bad, I knew how to do hidemasa hook, so I just like only let one string go across my finger then moved forward with my hands then it hits. The thing that made the trick click all of a sudden was figuring out to try to get the string coming from my TH over the yoyo ---
