The "I Finally Landed It!" Thread

Oh! sorry for not answering

Its the bind were you grind the yoyo on your hand wrap the string around and bind

What I do is While Im wrapping the string around I but My fingers through the loop that forms so when I bind The loop is still caught on my hand so I can pull the 2 strings apart which restarts the yoyo

Does that make sense?
I can post A vid of it if you want

Grind it on your hands horizontally or vertically, because i’ve seen him do both

Video would help. I can do that bind (yoyo horizontal version… would love to know how to pull off the yoyo vertical version that I’ve seen Palli do!) but I don’t know how to make a stop-and-go out of it.

My PA State freestyle 3 times in a row!

Idk if it already exists or not or if i discovered it, but when your in a trapeze you pinch then fling the slack behind the string and around the yoyo into a GT. its kinda hard to explain.

I’ve spent many hours trying to make my horizontal grinds efficient enough to get that UFO thing going without my yoyo dying. Still haven’t got it yet :stuck_out_tongue:

Not sure if you’re already doing this or not, but a few things that might help:

  1. You’re not grinding the whole cup. You’re grinding just an edge.

  2. I get that edge into a crease on my palm, and instead of holding the palm flat, it’s tilted ever so slightly outward (my NTH is my left hand, so to the left).

  3. The quality of the blast will obviously affect the kind of grind you can get. I cannot do this with a pyramatte yoyo; however, I’ve seen people do it with the outward appearance of effortlessness with a Rally, so yeah… if you’re really good and have a really strong throw, the blast becomes less important. For me, it’s very important.

Actually, because of this thread, I landed another HOT bind

It’s around the 1:03 mark, it is the last bind of his prelim

I do it Horizantle

Really gotten into throwing quite a bit this week. Between yesterday and today, I’ve figured out Gyroscopic Flop from a trapeze, Air Bind, Chopsticks Bind, and finally today the Hook!

Nice Job!

Thats alot of tricks in a short amount of time

Im using alot of different techniques and oarts of the rethinkyoyo trick “pump house” (which btw i landed today) to make some of my own stuff. I feel so accomplished!

Good Job!

Up side down green triangle and 1.5 string rejection to green triangle.

That upside-down GT is so much harder than you’d think it would be from looking at someone do it. And the payoff is low, because non-yoyoers don’t recognize the trickiness. :smiley: But I do. So I salute you, Abby. :wink:

I know, to a non yoyoer its just a hop thing. The only way for a spectator to understand the trick is to do it in slo mo, or in space ;).

Yea non throwers just dont get it my brother will watch me do this super hard trick and hell say it looks like all the other tricks you do and its like that trick is way harder then the other tricks I do

Zack and Justin’s baby repeater! BAM! ;D

I cant do the first pop of grandma kimmit sandwich. I cant get the yoyo to go through the hole.

Ok nevermind i got the first and second hop a few times. Not consistent, just 2 or 3 times.
