The "I Finally Landed It!" Thread

It is!
I also found out it doesnt work on most yoyos…

The trick I invented a year ago

Yuukified Poutine Bucket, not cleanly though

Just returned to yo-yoing 3 weeks ago. I’m finally able to do…

  1. straight sleepers consistently
  2. straight breakaways a bit consistently
  3. forward pass on a responsive yo-yo…working on my looping skills but I can’t seem to be able to do more than 3 in a row.
  4. a bunch of basic stuff (around the world, walk the dog, a bunch of picture tricks, etc.)

Still can’t do “around the corner” even if my life depends on it.

More serious, important tricks

  1. I can land trapezes now! I just need to work on the power and straightness of the string. My accuracy needs some work too.
  2. I didn’t know I can do brain twister. I thought I “invented” this trick. I found out it was brain twister. Doing the front mount in a single fluid motion hurts…the yo-yo tend to hit any area from my belly downward…by downward…I mean, I get ball tapped pretty bad.

Yuukified Poutine Bucket… Bro

Nice! Sounds like you’re progressing nicely. Some of the veterans around here can forget how hard it was to hit trapeze when just starting out. Stuck with it and you’ll be one of those veterans in no time!

Thanks :D. Once school is over, I’ll work on my yo-yoing more consistently and more seriously. At the moment, I can’t bother to learn anymore tricks. I just do some fine tuning on my current arsenal.

Eiji’s Regen and Ghost

Finally landed ladder escape! Woot woot! I need to smooth it out still, but that trick frustrated the heck outa me

I was just b-sn the breeze and figured I would shoot the gun and hit a brent stole. So I did :wink:

Boingy boing (finally) got it. Definitely a trick you just have to go all in for like yuuki slack

now moving onto the reverse one

Guy wright bind and “backspin bind variation”

Instant Double-or-Nothing! I’ve “landed it” in a slowed down deliberate way plenty, but it wasn’t very instant because of how deliberate it was. Last night, landed a TRULY fast one, and then a bunch more. It was like once I got it, I got it. Will practice a bunch more today, but I think this one’s in my trick bag now!

Recap since June 1st

4A:
Bounce to Open String Bind
Open String Bind to Eiji’S regen repeater

1A:
Paprika, Fishermen’s Bastion Tower, and Betyár Tower, all made by János Karancz
Still working on getting Gulyás down but I’ve landed it once so it counts

Presidents bind.

You mean GKS?

Lol newbie breaking in here…but last time I posted here, I could only do some picture tricks, elevator, long sleepers, (messed up) trapeze, and forward passes. Since then, I’ve added a trick or two to my small library of tricks.

  • I was experimented and I ended up unconsciously doing brain twisters. I do them nicely too.
  • Along with that, I can now do front mounts/brain twister mount in one fluid motion without hitting myself
  • Split Bottom Mounts but not fluid though

Then, I saw someone do a suicide/hot potato. I wanted to do it sooooo bad but my not straight trapeze got in the way. I took “suicide” a step at a time. I first mastered my trapeze landing straight ones 9/10 attempts. Took me 4 hours total from mastering trapeze to landing 3 suicides in a row! I’m so proud of myself lol.
