Here is a compilation of some tricks I have learned during my first 2 months of throwing.

I have been practicing follows and gt suicides today. I wanted to get a combo recorded with both tricks included. Hopefully over the next week or so I will be able to do multiple consecutive follows.

I think I will just update this thread whenever i come up with something interesting or that Im proud of.

I made this little combo today. Its just a few simple tricks, but all done while in a GT. I went through a few strings trying to get this one on tape. lol.

I finally figured out how to consistently land Brent Stoles last night! Very stoked.

I saw Jason Lee do a “Ping Pong” move in a video about a week ago. I had no clue what it was… all I knew is that it looked awesome. G Squared released a Tower to Ping Pong tutorial today, so I immediately got to practicing.

I have been practicing Follow today. Im still fairly inconsistent, but Im able to land more than 1 now.

Yeah, I know… You’re way better than me and I’ve been yoyoing for almost a year and a half.

If you keep with it, I bet you will be winning contests one day.

Wow… Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys.

I found that one of the most important things to learn is how to fine tune string tension. Having a high quality string with absolutely zero tension makes learning these types of tricks exceptionally easier.

Boingy Boing at 2 weeks is insane bro. It took me way longer than that.

James, your enthusiasm and videos make me happy. I’ve been at it a little more than two months an nowhere near that… but to me it’s not really the speed of your progress. I mean, that’s impressive enough. But it’s your obvious love of throwing combined with love of learning and improving.

Keep it up!
