Apparently you throw the yoyo very gently so you have time to tug the yoyo up before it fully unwinds. I can do this to an extent with regular loops and hop the fence etc but I havent even taken my time to learn regular StM. maybe is time to lube the narrow bearing in my classic I guess.
edit: wait I think i just landed one. no idea how that happened, maybe its the time at which you pull the yoyo back down.
Oh, I get it! Yeah, if you sort of slack (not fully slack, but sort of) and tug the string back early, you can get it to come back… I do this on missed binds sometimes. And then because it’s wound around a kink, the second one just comes back as if it’s tied to the axle… you don’t need to do the second special “early tug”.
Never thought of applying that to shoot the moon! Still a ways off, though.
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.
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
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 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.
