The "I Finally Landed It!" Thread

After dinging the yoyo several times on the ceiling and/or my nose, I can now pull off the regen most of the times when I happen to get a straight shoot upward in something like a 1/10 chance.

also landed behind the back RIB lol

Cold fusion! It ended up being super easy. Stoked!

I felt the exact same way, its one of my favorite tricks now

So the trick I made up like 2 weeks ago and was the first one I’m really proud of is in Ryota Torigoe’s new vid, here, at 40 seconds into it:

Boing-e-boing! Finally! This trick has stumped me since about May. I knew I had to go up and down instead of back and forth, but i saw Black’s TED Talk, and when I saw how he did it, I figured it out. ;D

I abandoned that trick after ten minutes of attempts. 2 years later I came back and learned it

Landed a barrel roll but it’s not perfect cause I can’t keep a good momentum :v

So did you learn it from watching him or coincidence ???

Probably coincidence since he probably made it before the vid and before me

Finally figured out mach whip and the swingy variation thing from the yotricks tutorials.

Learned a few new easy ones; took minimal effort, so perhaps “finally” like the thread’s title isn’t quite accurate. In this case, the tricks were “Triple Magic” and “Ping-Pong”. Ping-Pong is really neat for impressing non-yoyoers.

I can now shoot the moon 10+ times on a raider. maybe is time to go unresponsive

0:56

Little variation on Triple Magic that I made this morning.

Lord of the flies variation and ALMOST Spencer Berry’s Enigma. Just need to figure out the dismount into trapeze.

Finally have a Pacman trick in my repertoire.

I finally landed the yoyo on the right spot to pop a blood vessel! ;D

Bass Line crash crash.

I can finally land in something 8/10 times when attempting a behind the back RIB, after developing a more reliable techniq of dodging the whipped string with my wrist or thigh.
However, I still only land a proper inverted triangle about half the time. In the remaining half, I land in red triangles, twisted inverted triangles and even uninverted triangles.

Getting a kick out of adding new tricks that once would have been nearly impossible but are now a few minutes of practice. Most recent one was President’s Bind. As it turns out, I don’t love the feeling of the “unwinding into the bind” but the first moves are still “new feeling” to me… I don’t have any other tricks that do those. So on the whole, a fun trick to do!

Reverse inverted green triangle 720 suicide. Had a combo involving a inverted gt suicide for a long time but just felt that a reverse one would make use of the momentum better.
