Gridiron is on my list to try and learn when I’m better. Probably my favorite Paul Kerbel trick. ---

Throwhand Grind Bind Sometimes a good measure of self improvement is how quickly you can pick something up. Case in point this bind, I attempted it a bit early last year when I was much less experienced and it came across as something almost impossible to achieve (for my then ability) however I pretty much got it within half an hour of playing around earlier today. Come to think of it I need to invest a bit of time on learning some new binds so this is a nice start 🙂 ---

I just got Yuuki Slack down too! Only took me about…4 years in the making… I tried to learn it, got fed up with it and put it down for a long time. This was when I was still “intermediate” territory so slacks weren’t anything I really touched outside Plastic Whip and Ninja Vanish. I think I might record it tomorrow now that I’ve gotten very comfortable with the trick in about a week’s time, after the trick just clicked. ---

Three kwijibos in a row! I learned kwij months ago but I’ve never been consistent with it. For whatever reason I’ve decided to come back to it these last couple of days and I’m getting to the point where I can land it consistently. ---

I find that if I don’t focus ill land the double or nothing on 2 strings, or when I land the double of nothing, it is sloppy with the string across my left hand instead of on my pointer. I almost always combo into it when I land in trapeze, can’t help myself. Still not landing Spirit Bomb consistently. Still at like 1 attempt in 10. Im thinking about learning something else and work on SB later. I usually like to start nailing a trick consistently before I move on, but it has been a while since ive tried a new trick and want to try something new. ---

@eternalmetal I’ve found that focusing on two tricks a week (one that’s easier + another that’s harder) helps me a lot. It stops me from hyper focusing on only one element or trick…allowing breathing room and variablilty during practice sessions ---

Good advice. Ive been working on Spirit Bomb on and off for the past 3+ weeks (been really busy so I havent had a lot of yoyo time), and I find myself just going back to old repeaters to relax.
