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. Now to choose which new tricks to learn…

I checked out grid iron like a year and a half ago, not long after I started. I got some of the first half down but didn’t go back to it. I think you should also check out this ladder trick →
I learned this one. I think it looks cooler than grid iron too

I did a bit of yoing way back in the early 2000’s…never got past stuff like kamikaze and kwyjibo…but I had a bunch of the stuff under those down.
One of my favorites back then was rewind…it just looked and felt so cool! And I got to the point where it was super easy and natural for me.
Well, all these years later…I’ve lost almost everything I knew back then! lol…it’s totally okay though cause I’m really enjoying learning the basics again.
Anyhow…I landed my first rewind today! It’s a really simple trick…but it just feels so good!
My next big goal is to do a rewind into the first half of black hops! 
Oh, and I also landed a suicide on my second attempt!
And then I completely missed the next dozen or so attempts! haha >.<’
I use to want to get consistent at suicides SO badly when I was younger. I’d practice just about everyday…attempting over and over and over again. Never did get the hang of it and it was super frustrating and discouraging!

Finally did a 'gyroscopic flop ’ without my yoyo string got all tangled up !
Im VERY happy I landed it!

how many flops? 
2 to 3 , then it starts to loses it’s spin. Luckely, I can bind my yo-yo before it stops spinning!
Need some perfection, but I did it!

Got a 1.5 GT down pretty well, as well as finally learning my first iteration of a double GT.

GT suicides are… stressful…

Do a GT suicide with your eyes closed, if you can do that then do a GT REVERSE suicide 
(good luck on this, I’ve been practicing on and off and almost always end in a knot 
)

I had kinda given up learning Brent Stole. I would barely ever land it, and often times if I did land in something resembling a GT, the strings would be all twisted up and wrong. Then the other day I saw it in slow motion in someone’s clip and realized I’d been doing it wrong this whole time. I was trying to get the string to come around from the back to the front instead of from the front to the back. I watched another quick tutorial after that and now I am landing it probably 3/5 tries.
