Hey all, I know we have a few active trick threads on here already, but I think GTs should have their own category. Considering there’s an endless amount of ways to get into them, and seeing that they’re in almost every routine and video you watch today, I thought it might be fun to kinda watch and even learn some new ways to get into them from you all. So let’s see those GTs! I learned this one a couple days ago so it’s a little rough, but still fun. The goal is to get it smooth and fluent to where it all kinda looks like one big motion. ---

I call the FH1 my “technique smoother” because it’s got just enough unresponsiveness to do some modern stuff while still being responsive enough to snag and humble you if you get sloppy lol ---

I learned it in person, the triangle itself is just a modified magic drop, I’ll post something to explain in a bit. (The rest is just kamikaze leading up to the magic drop) ---

I’m making this a 3a thread as well since I started that journey a few days ago, and so Im not randomly posting in the TaW thread and confusing people lol. I’ve got the 1.5 kink mount down and we’re getting there with Koro Koro. Rolling two yo-yos over and back is harder than it looks :joy: ---

Right? Even when you mess up it doesn’t look _that_ bad lol. I think I may have reached a bit trying this trick so soon, but to heck with it I’m close after only an hour of practice [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/the-gt-thread-and-some-3a/373694.md?page=2)
