Thanks y’all! Here’s day 9 of the Soloham September Challenge! Getting a bit smoother with Antispin! Going to keep working on this for consistency but will likely also add in combo work or start tackling C Fan next. I didn’t expect to learn the tricks on my goals list so quickly so I may need some additional tricks to learn if I get Antispin smooth and C Fan down with a lot of time in the challenge left. Stay tuned but if y’all have suggestions lmk!

Soloham September Challenge Day 10/30 Summersault to Antispin Combo

Today’s session was really frustrating where I couldn’t seem to land anything I was really going for. Decided to pivot from my originally planned trick and go for this combo of tricks I’d already learned and even that took way longer than expected. Gonna try and approach tomorrow’s session with a better mindset, today’s was rough

yeah it can definitely be like that sometimes. my advice is to stay hydrated, replace strings before start/after a few hours if you feel like binds are losing grip/snagging, and wearing gloves so cusion the blow from unwanted binds.
for the antispin, try do it a little faster and stop later so that it is more controlled and looks a little better
keep it up though, your progress is hella fast!

Thanks man I appreciate the kindness and the tips! Today was better but I agree it’s important to take breaks, stay hydrated, and keep the setup conducive to success :grin:

Here’s today’s update for Day 11/30 of Soloham September! Finally landed the stall to Reverse Rolls but it’s still pretty rough. Need to smooth out the timing, figure out a more consistent way to keep everything aligned, and figure out how not to launch the yoyo forward during the reverse rolls dismount. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Y’all are awesome! :sunglasses:

I look forward to seeing you smooth that out if that’s what you call pretty rough. :rofl:

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Here’s day 13/30 of the Soloham September Challenge! The adjustments I figured out yesterday have made landing the stall way more consistent, now just need to get better at the transition and consistency for the reverse rolls!

Hope the challenge is going well for y’all as well!

unforch not, been hard struggling with C Fan Im trying to enter via a somersalt but i dont think i have enough momentum to both catch the yoyo on the string and initiate the trick

No worries man, I haven’t been able to figure out C-fan yet either but the clock is ticking for me on this challenge so I should really start figuring it out :sweat_smile:

Soloham September Challenge Day 16/30 Starting to Learn Under the Leg Rolls instead of C-fan :joy:

man, C fan really is kicking my ■■■■■■■ out of the three different ways to enter (instant from one yoyo toss, somersalt, and taka spingear entry) i think the easiest is probably the somersalt entry.

i think a problem im having is that the front yoyo in the somersalt always falls off before i can start the fan. i need more time to really focus on it

Is it falling off during the summersault? I’d be curious about those methods, are you using specific videos or tutorials for these? I’ve been trying to find C Fan tutorials and can’t find them anywhere
