Just landed Drift by gentry on the third attempt, I’ve been trying WAY too hard for so long on it but I finally got it. Also landed a Yoyojoe banger whip triangle the other day that I’m pretty proud of.

Revelstoke by Tyler Vienneau
After about 2 days of practice it’s starting to coming together… but not as vertical & bouncy as Tyler and I can’t yet hit the redirect before the bind.

Nice! That’s such an awesome trick I tried to learn it a few weeks ago and kept getting hung up at one point. That guy walking past in the tutorial is also slightly confusing 
When I was first picking up a yo-yo again I was really enamored with whip to 1.5 and beefhooks, but couldn’t really understand how to actually do either.
Now, a little over a year later I decided to try them over the last week and can hit both pretty consistently now. I don’t know if any tricks have made me feel my progress more than these two.

@LX_Emergency has a good one!!
Lol yeah I do.
Been drilling almost nothing but beefhook the past week. Yesterday it just kind of clicked and now it’s around 1/5 that i land it regardless of type of string used.
So today I put it in a chopsticks combo that is also begin working on the past month and I actually landed it first try.
Thanks for the help @Bobparty

So i landed a regular hook a few times tonight…
After learning beef hook, standard hook wasnt so bad.
I thought id be cool and try and get like a 2.0 hook
But had no idea what i was doing and was basically just waving my hand around and almost hitting my face with a chunk of metal

Slack tricks on a deeper state? Beef hook? I decided i wanted to try it.
Hit my dogs crate, so has a small ding on it.
But tonight i landed it a few times. I feel like its good for understanding the slack entirely. Idk maybe im crazy.
Next ill do a full responsive beef hook.
Is that even possible or am i about to jam some fingers?
I dont know.

You can definitely do slacks w a responsive Yoyo. Like just pinch the string and you can do a bunch of slack stuff. I’ve never been able to beef hook on a responsive but I also gave up trying pretty quick like it seemed like it was gonna be hard if not impossible because of the way the slack is set up like regular hook you can do because the slack stays pulling away from the Yoyo I think I’m not exactly sure but I can do those. Beefhook responsive felt different to me but it def still could be possible idk imma try it again tomorrow.
Edit: yeah you can Beefhook on a responsive Yoyo but it’s hard. Definitely punishing if you miss so maybe a good incentive to land it more hah I don’t know good luck.

Just got down the Kamikaze for the first time! It precessed like crazy during the weird magic drop to off-brand 1.5 mount part because it glanced my hand but I still landed it and binded (bound?)!

Branding! Another dope doc pop trick.
Still need more consistent catches on the whip and working on sliding into flopsicle after landing back in 1.5.
