I find that if I don’t focus ill land the double or nothing on 2 strings, or when I land the double of nothing, it is sloppy with the string across my left hand instead of on my pointer. I almost always combo into it when I land in trapeze, can’t help myself.
Still not landing Spirit Bomb consistently. Still at like 1 attempt in 10. Im thinking about learning something else and work on SB later. I usually like to start nailing a trick consistently before I move on, but it has been a while since ive tried a new trick and want to try something new.
@eternalmetal I’ve found that focusing on two tricks a week (one that’s easier + another that’s harder) helps me a lot. It stops me from hyper focusing on only one element or trick…allowing breathing room and variablilty during practice sessions
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 realize he is inactive on this forum, I keep shouting out to him though hoping he will see one day and come join us again! Definitely one of my favorite players!
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 @eternalmetal
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!
